Helping your people move forward with AI
AI LEADERSHIP & CULTURE ADOPTION
Wondering where AI fits in your business – and how to bring your people along?
New tools only work when your people are ready to use them. I help business owners and leadership teams in Red Deer and across Central Alberta figure out where AI makes sense, plan practical first steps, and bring staff on board with confidence instead of resistance.
This builds on my background in change management, leadership coaching and business strategy, and is backed by my AI Leadership and Culture Adoption certification (in progress).
Experience you can draw on.
Space to find your own answers.
I’m Brenda Kolasa – a business strategist, certified leadership coach and longtime business owner based in Red Deer, Alberta.
I bring coaching questions, strategic guidance and practical business experience to our work together. Depending on what you need, we can make room for reflection, work through a decision or map out your next steps.
Chosen as a top Leadership Coach 2024 by the coachfoundation.com
and recipient of the 2025 Consumer Choice Award in Business Excellence for Central Alberta in the Business Coach category.
The time I spent with Brenda was not only valuable for my business strategy, but for my own personal growth. She was always kind but did not lose sight of the session goals and was able to direct questions and conversations to discovering what the next steps for my business might be. Brenda is a great resource and ally in building your business. You won’t regret booking in!
LET’S START WITH WHAT MATTERS TO YOU MOST
You don’t need to have everything figured out before we talk. Bring your questions, your competing priorities or the idea you’re ready to explore.
From the start, Brenda prioritizes understanding my unique personal and business needs, ensuring our coaching relationship is successful. One valuable aspect is Brenda’s approach to follow-ups. After each session, she provides a Coaching Follow Up Summary that captures our discussion and sets clear aims for the week. These summaries remind me to stay focused and accountable to our goals. I appreciate how she uses the same words we use, painting a clear picture.
If you are seeking a coach who can help you unlock your true potential and bring clarity to your goals, I highly recommend working with Brenda Kolasa.
