I was introduced to Judy Brinkman and Life’s 2 Short when I attended a few of her workshops. Because I enjoyed them so much, I began private coaching with Judy 3 years ago. Judy’s coaching has made a tremendous difference in my business. The biggest change I saw was the shift in my own mindset. Rather than focusing only on the things that needed improvement, she helped me focus on my wins and build from there. It was so beneficial to meet weekly, which helped me maximize my growth. As a result of her coaching, my business profits increased 135%! Most recently. Judy facilitated a Co-creation Workshop for my team. This interactive workshop was held on Zoom and allowed for my team members who live across the country to participate. The foundation she laid helped every participant to feel comfortable and willing to share ideas and honest feedback. I can honestly say that I would never have been able to get that kind of feedback – both positive and constructive- on my own. It was the best decision I made this year to help my team grow. My only regret is that I didn’t hold this workshop sooner. I would strongly recommend Judy to any business owner seeking balance, growth and/or to create an ideal environment for their teams.

Working with Judy as a business coach has given me confidence and clarity. Judy has a wonderful way of helping her clients grow their business, whether new or established, through weekly coaching sessions. What I discovered through Judy’s weekly coaching was a sense of calm as well as excitement to follow my passions of health and art. Judy has helped me develop practical tools for success that I am able to apply consistently to achieve my goals and dreams. I highly recommend a conversation with Judy to see how she may help you too have more success and less stress.

Jane Baldauf | Owner, Cooler Gifts to Go
Judy Brinkman’s Life’s 2 Short workshop has left an indelible mark on my perspective as a business owner. The focus on my yearly money goal and other critical aspects was nothing short of revelatory. It felt like the workshop exposed truths that were right in front of me but had eluded my awareness. In particular, I realized I had been marketing the wrong aspects of my business.
​
What sets this workshop apart is its ability to crystallize complex concepts, providing a laser- like clarity on where my focus should be directed. It’s as if a fog lifted, revealing a straightforward path toward my attainable goals. Beyond the business insights, the workshop prompted a powerful internal shift. I discovered a reservoir of strength within myself that I hadn’t fully acknowledged, making me recognize my own unstoppable potential.
​
In essence, Judy Brinkman’s workshop transcends traditional business coaching; it’s a transformative experience that not only fine-tunes your professional approach but also fuels a personal empowerment that lingers long after the workshop concludes.
Highly recommended for those seeking not just success but a profound redefinition of their capabilities.
Paula Fidalgo | Owner of The Dust Busters and Best-Selling Author
I really like how Judy broke down overwhelm, stressors, and problems as part of the process AND showed how you can account for those things in a meaningful way. So many times, “how to” guides for goals are not realistic about burnout: WHY it happens or HOW to thwart it. I was blown away by the different temperaments my teammates adopted when dealing with the same stressors.
Hadassah Robbins | Boys and Girls Club
Judy is a wonderful teacher and the way she presents the content makes it a very worthwhile experience. I would recommend her workshops to anyone wanting to improve themselves and their business.
