Clayton has spent most of his life teaching, coaching, and guiding others — from his early days teaching English in Colombia to more recent roles as an executive coach, life planner, and mindfulness teacher. A longtime corporate executive and trainer, he holds a certificate in the Foundations of NeuroLeadership and has facilitated programs for organizations across the finance, healthcare, transportation, and nonprofit sectors. In 2021, Clayton completed a two-year Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program with Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach, accredited by the Awareness Training Institute and the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley. Since then, he has led hundreds of programs, including free weekly community mindfulness classes that make consistent practice accessible to all. Clayton’s teaching style is warm, experiential, and deeply rooted in both science and personal insight. For him, mindfulness opens a space to slow down, listen deeply, and live with greater intention — an invitation he loves extending to everyone he works with.

Brenda has over 19 years’ experience in corporate learning and development, primarily in leadership development and coaching. Through customized coaching and training programs, she best sums up her work as, ‘I help leaders focus on their inner game, so they can bring their best selves to the outer game.’ Brenda’s journey into corporate L&D began while working at a NYC-based healthcare company, when she was asked to spearhead the company’s first training department. Since then, Brenda has served in management roles for two global organizations, Foot Locker, Inc., and Tiffany & Co. Sharing mindfulness and meditation practices with her clients contribute greatly to how she helps leaders create the right internal conditions to thrive in the modern world. Brenda credits mindfulness in helping her through some of her own most challenging times, like her father’s cancer diagnosis, a move from NYC to Florida to care for her mom, and the (difficult) decision to leave corporate and go out on her own in 2016. She jokes that she was once a “closet meditator” before mindfulness became “okay” to talk about at work. She’s thrilled that times are changing.
