We recently connected with Brenna Hayes and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, Brenna thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. What sort of legacy are you hoping to build. What do you think people will say about you after you are gone, what do you hope to be remembered for?
For many years, I have been mentored and coached by several successful people in various spheres and industries. Each of them observed something of value in me and recognized potential I didn’t realize I had. My desire as a life coach, speaker and author is to leave a legacy of developing and pouring into others. My aim is to share the lessons I’ve learned in life so that people can become the best versions of themselves. Long after I am gone, my prayer is that the people I’ve impacted can pass those ideals along to the next generation.
Brenna, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
I am a transformational life coach, speaker and author. I launched my life coaching business after a difficult season of my life (deaths of multiple loved ones, abusive marriage and subsequent divorce). After overcoming those issues, I started the business with the desire to help those who have experienced similar circumstances (I wanted to share the lessons I learned with others).
I serve my clients by empowering them to overcome life’s challenges and live their best lives. I am most fulfilled when I see them achieving the goals they’ve set for themselves, positively impacting their families and communities! I believe what sets me apart from others is the fact that what I teach I have lived! In my coaching, I am transparent about my personal experiences (both the good and the bad), so I can demonstrate to someone that there is hope after difficult life experiences.
I offer both individual and group coaching in the areas of finding one’s life purpose, goal setting, leadership development, divorce recovery and grief recovery. My coaching is done in person as well as remotely, and I also offer an online, self-paced course on finding life purpose.
One of the things I am most proud of is when I see a past client implementing the concepts I’ve taught them, changing their lives and their families’ lives for the better. It is one of the most fulfilling moments in life for me.
Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?
Building my audience on social media has been a process. Once I launched my platforms, I first invited family and friends to my pages. I then began to consistently offer valuable content to my audience, no matter its size. I’ve learned that social media is not just about selling your product or service; our audience should view us as a trusted and valued resource.
We should ask ourselves this question: If our social media presence were to go away today, would our followers miss us? Our content should become an integral part of their lives so that they want to stay connected to us.
In addition, I’ve hosted a couple of free live events on a particular topic to draw people to my pages. Those who registered for the events shared it with others and my following grew.
I believe that consistency is key! Demonstrate who you are on social media on a regular basis, and then, when you’re ready to launch a new product or service, you audience knows about you and the value you provide.
We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.
There was a 3-year period of my life when I was facing multiple challenges. During that time, I lost my mother, godmother and grandmother, along with several other family members; I made the decision to leave a difficult marriage and faced a divorce process that would last almost a year; and took on the responsibility of caregiving for a family member. As a person of faith, what helped me through that season of my life was prayer, faith and the belief that things would change and get better. I knew that God had a purpose for my life (no matter what was happening in the moment), so I remained focus on that purpose, enlisted the help that I needed (through a counselor) to process what was going on, and kept a positive outlook, not allowing my circumstances to make me bitter.
The lesson I learned in that period of time is a part of what I teach others in my coaching business.
