Committed to Strengths-Based Leadership Development
Big Sky Leadership
Big Sky Leadership was founded on the belief that teams and people flourish when individuals harness their unique strengths. I partner with individuals and organisations to develop tailored coaching and training programmes that foster cohesion, high performance and impactful results.
Originally from Montana, USA (the Big Sky State) I think of big skies as symbolising endless possibilities and high aspirations.
Who I am
I'm Brenna Dorrance. I have been a Gallup certified Strengths Coach since 2017 and an EMCC accredited coach since 2018.
I bring over 25 years of international leadership experience, having held senior leadership positions in Japan, the USA, South Africa, Afghanistan and the UK. I have served in roles as diverse as Programmes Director for Ambition Institute (an English Education Charity specialising in developing teachers and school leaders from aspiring teachers to the Exec Leaders of multiple schools), leading conflict resolution programmes in Afghanistan, Deputy Canvas Director for the 2008 Obama Presidential Campaign in the USA and leading leadership development programmes for the National Young Leaders Conference in Washington D.C.
I am passionate about people, teams and improving performance. I love helping clients to unlock potential, develop psychologically safe environments and foster strong, effective teams and leaders through strengths-based practices.
