THE AUTHOR

BRENDA BARDAELS

Non-Fiction Author

Brenda Bardaels holds a master's degree in Industrial and Organizational Psychology, specializing in Occupational Health Psychology.

Her many years of experience in healthcare administration and her work with the United States Army have enhanced her awareness of leadership gaps and extended her expertise by allowing her to learn best practices from her prior mentors and colleagues. Her experience with a lack of leadership diversity in healthcare, education, and the United States military, inspired her to advocate for equity among non-stereotypical leaders. She is continuously working on research to help us understand the benefits of positive and diverse leadership and promoting workplace policies that promote physical and mental wellness among employees.

Ms. Bardaels likes traveling, especially with her daughter, and particularly appreciates visiting little towns and coastal areas. Nonetheless and despite her passion for fine dining, she finds life's simplest pleasures to be the most rewarding.
