Regent BrownCoach and Consultant
Specializing in Resiliency Coaching for Transformation and Mindful Human Resources for Resilient Organizations [email protected] |
Who Am I and How do I do what I do?
I am Regent Brown, a biracial Afro-Indigenous, disabled, two-spirit womxn who has been practicing contemplative practices in my work for almost 20 years. My career has been anchored in Human Resources through various industries, and I branched out to Coaching and Consulting to be able to focus my skills on leaders and HR professionals who are curious and ready for thinking radically about workforce development and thriving company cultures.
My personal story has had many twists including surviving cancer (twice), relocating during the pandemic, and being married for over a decade. These twists have only deepened my passion for liberatory practices that are fueled by awareness and accountability. I support liberation and decolonization as a coach, circle keeper, trainer, healer, facilitator, and participant in interdependent community wellness. I am a part of a bountiful group of BIPOC meditation teachers working to weave decolonized practices through their work, relationships, and communities. To balance a busy work life, I am invested in my own wellness. This includes manifesting joy through activities like karaoke, visiting goats, traveling to photograph sunsets, gardening, playing with cats and discovering small parks while walking their 6 year old Corgi mix pup, Perkelsnertz.
My approach to organizational wellness is simple: remove the barriers to full potential, and watch people thrive. Every organization, like any living ecosystem, requires essential nutrients to support growth. Just as all living beings need water, fuel, and sunlight, humans also need belonging, psychological safety, and a sense of purpose to truly flourish. My work focuses on identifying the existing strengths within an organization, understanding where additional support is needed, and cultivating sustainable access to these vital elements—ensuring a thriving and resilient workplace environment.
Being human-centered in my work means awareness of impacts due to capitalism and exploitive systems, our work environments have often become about production and less about human potential. Human centered processes prioritize the people over profits or outcomes. To achieve this in collaboration, I will:
My coaching serves to support a full ecosystem wellness. This may just be working with an individual, or groups within organizations. Some outcomes from collaborating with me include:
