Blom Leadership: Empowering Servant Leaders to Thrive
At Blom Leadership, our mission is to support leaders through a servant leadership approach. We recognize the unique challenges leaders face and are dedicated to providing them with the right resources, training, and tools to succeed.
Our core principles of contribution, humility, consistency, agility, and self-awareness are essential for effective leadership. By focusing on these key areas, we help leaders gain the insights and skills needed to maximize their impact and unlock the hidden talent within their organizations.
​
Central to our approach is the Johari Window model, a powerful tool for self-awareness and personal development. This framework enables leaders to better understand their strengths, weaknesses, and how they are perceived by others. Through this process of self-discovery, we facilitate their growth and effectiveness as servant leaders.
Our holistic leadership development program draws from a range of disciplines, including psychology, personality theories, self-development, mindfulness, and personal effectiveness. By combining performance-oriented tools with wellness practices, we empower leaders to achieve their goals while maintaining their well-being and resilience.
Grounded in the principles of Industrial-Organizational Psychology, our evidence-based interventions are designed to support leaders, teams, and organizations. We leverage the latest research and insights to develop tailored solutions that drive positive change and foster a more productive work environment.
At the heart of Blom Leadership is a deep belief in the transformative power of servant leadership. We are committed to helping leaders who are trying to make a difference achieve their full potential and maximize their impact on the world. By providing them with the guidance and support they need, we aim to contribute to a future where leaders serve their teams and organizations with purpose, passion, and integrity.

FAQ's About Brenda
Q: How did you get into leadership development?
A: I fell in love with psychology and personality type as a teenager by reading everything I could about Meyers Briggs Personality Type. After working in several organizations in strategic human resources, I realized I had a talent for developing and advising leaders and went back to school to get a graduate degree focusing in leadership development.
Q: What is your "why"?
A: I am obsessed with helping people connect with their purpose and personal development. Leadership roles are challenging and important, when leaders thrive everyone thrives. So when leaders can be the best version of themselves and can learn new ways to be effective as a leader, then everyone wins. It’s rewarding to be apart of the journey of people learning about themselves and feeling more empowered. I like the field of organizational psychology because it is about helping organizations create learning environments for people to flourish so businesses can thrive.
I want to help leaders thrive so they can can better help the world thrive.
