People call me when they’re facing complexity, change, or the sense that something isn’t working quite right. I bring structure to ambiguity, and momentum to mission. Whether through executive coaching, strategic advising, or what I call an opportunity assessment, my role is to help you step back, see the full picture, and move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and alignment.
My offerings are intentionally flexible—because every organization, team, and leader is at a different inflection point. But at the core, all of my services are designed to do one thing: unlock what’s possible. I’m driven by a deep belief that meaningful progress comes from the intersection of bold vision, inclusive leadership, and practical strategy.
This belief in people and their power to create transformative change when they’re aligned, supported, and equipped with the right tools is why I started Brenna Holmes Advisory Consulting, and through this I partner with executives, teams, and organizations to:
Reimagine how work gets done
Design systems and structures that unlock momentum
Build programs and campaigns that grow audiences, deepen engagement, and deliver real results.
Whether I’m coaching senior leaders or rethinking how a department functions, I bring curiosity, conviction, and clarity. I’m not here to maintain what’s working—I’m here to elevate what could be better.
Across every chapter of my career—from teaching to coaching, from PR, fundraising, and digital strategy to operational design and executive advising—I’ve followed one constant thread: helping people and organizations get unstuck, shift perspectives, and step into the future with clarity and confidence.
Whether I’m embedded in your team or coaching from the outside, my work is always in service of unlocking possibility and catalyzing change.
Curious to collaborate, talk shop, or just share a bold idea over tea, coffee, or a glass of wine? Let’s connect.
When the work feels harder than it should, or success isn’t scaling the way you’d hoped, it’s often not a people problem. It’s a clarity problem. My Opportunity Assessments are designed to help you step back, understand what’s misaligned, and map a smarter way forward.
This isn’t about blame or bandwidth. It’s about unlocking the full potential of your team by identifying friction points, surfacing under-leveraged strengths, and designing practical paths toward better alignment, capacity, and momentum.
A clear picture of your team’s current structure and strengths.
Refined roles and responsibilities, built to serve both mission and morale.
Skills gap analysis with recommendations for smarter staffing or realignment.
A blueprint for greater clarity, cohesion, and confidence.
🧭 Many leaders use an Opportunity Assessment as a starting point before broader restructuring or growth planning.
If we uncover deeper systemic needs, I can support you through a full organizational design engagement.
When you’re ready to act on what’s been uncovered—whether through an assessment, internal strategy, or sheer necessity—this is where we build. My Organizational Design and Team Optimization services help you move from insight to execution, reimagining the systems, structures, and staffing that will actually carry your mission forward.
