Brenda Hukel is an award-winning author, recognized speaker, and accomplished business professional whose work bridges strategic insight with creative empowerment. Holding a Master of Business Administration from Western New England University and a Bachelor of Arts in Human Resources Management from Webster University, Brenda blends analytical acumen with people-first leadership, inspiring individuals and organizations alike to thrive with clarity, purpose, and authenticity.

Brenda Hukel’s debut book, Courageously Authentic, launched globally in June 2025 and is now available through Amazon and Barnes & Noble Written for women navigating the pressures of career, identity, and self-worth, the book offers a roadmap for breaking free from fear, self-doubt, and the hidden patterns that keep them from fully stepping into their power and living with authenticity.

Drawing on over 30 years of experience in leadership, HR, organizational development, and coaching, Brenda equips women with practical tools and spiritual insights to move beyond self-doubt and embrace their fullest potential—both personally and professionally. Each chapter is paired with thought-provoking exercises and complemented by a suite of digital resources—including guided meditations, affirmation cards, original music, and workbooks—available through her online shop. These offerings are intentionally designed to reflect the themes of each chapter and help women create lasting transformation in their lives and careers.

Brenda’s thought leadership has been featured in the Associated Press, New Literary Society Magazine, and the How to Write Your Book Author Interview (2025), with an upcoming feature in USA Today scheduled for October 2025. She is a frequent contributor on Medium, where she explores the inner healing required to release old narratives, reclaim personal power, and embody authentic leadership. Her work emphasizes that true empowerment begins within, and that when women embrace vulnerability and commit to their personal growth, they lead with clarity, confidence, and integrity.
