At Brazen & Co, we value authenticity, courage, & action.

We believe significant positive impact is born from the ability to communicate, connect, and relate in any situation or medium from a core place of integrity, responsibility, and definitely, a sense of humour.

Change the way you relate

A vision where work & life isn’t side overrun by contradictions

When the persona you embody at work isn’t really about who you are deep down
When your direct communication style isn’t about you meaning to be authoritative
When micro-managing people and projects isn’t about you showing lack of trust in your people
When your ability to speak up when others stay quiet in meetings isn’t about you trying to be seen a certain way
When your confidence or conviction isn’t intended to come across as intense, intimidating, or standoffish
When speaking truthfully isn’t about you looking to disrespect someone else

When life is lived within the boundaries of the hard lines and boxes you’ve developed over the years, you realize one day how isolating it’s become.

Confused, you ask yourself… How did I get here?

**You notice a pattern of behaviour – your “perfect system” reinforcing the what is it about me, screw them beliefs swirling inside**

You try harder to connect with others and end up resenting them and you for how it makes you feel, so you keep them at arms reach or move on to someone new.
You try to control situations so you know what to expect and how to behave
You limit how much to share, with who, and how often. When you do share, it’s almost always to complain about how someone else is impacting you, it’s rarely about you personally
You jump from one job to the next or look for more responsibility in the same role to use the lack of time, new pressures and fancier title to stay busy and focused, not giving yourself space
You fill your resume with lots of great information and results, and yet, it still doesn’t really say much about you.

We envision more for you – because your type of energy is what calls others forward.

We’re committed to enabling you to become skilled in communicating with intention, influence, and impact so that you can relate, articulate, connect, and engage with peers, colleagues, and clients with greater ease and freedom.

Our approach seamlessly blends coaching, teaching, brand design consulting, and career strategy readiness. We focus on developing communication skills, relationship intelligence, and natural strengths – while illuminating and ousting blind spot and those perfect systems that keep you out of relationship.

Bottom line: You’ll become aware of what you’re putting out there, what’s no longer serving you, and how to stop doing it once and for all.

Our methodology is based in the following pillars:

Meet Sophie

Sophie Turner, Owner Brazen & Co, Founder of The Conversation Project

I love the work I’m called to do and the amazing people I fortunate to do it with. I get to wake up everyday to engage people in ways that feel authentic and courageous so that they can build a better world around them. I changed my life to do this type work.

I left a 20+ year brand, communications and marketing career in industries such as Retail, Financial Services, and Non-For Profit in search of purposeful work that would amplify my dedication to inner knowledge, transformation and passion for playing big, in meaningful ways.

Described once as ‘brass balls wrapped in velvet’, I combine personality – an unorthodox approach, thought provoking engagement style, honesty, intuition, and a sense of humour and adventure, with extensive business experience from several executive level and public facing roles for highly recognized global organizations, leadership training, and entrepreneurship, and finally topping it off with what I’m most passionate about – social health and mental wellbeing – to bring an approach that’s refreshing, unique, action and results focused. I’m skilled at holding your feet to the fire while doing so with great compassion.

I do all of that because I care deeply what it means to be in relationship – with yourself, with others, and for your mental and physical health. I work with leaders, entrepreneurs, other professionals, and athletes who experience stress, anxiety, tension – the behaviours that keep them from connecting and relating with others, to create plans and design their brands so to not avoid the messiness experienced in many work relationships.
