Creating Amazing Work Cultures for Businesses & Employees with Specialized Emotional Intelligence Training

As an Executive Advisor, Brittinay collaborates with company leaders to enhance psychological safety within their organizations. She guides executives in evaluating their workplace environments to uncover cultural challenges and reprogram outdated systems. By strategically advising leadership teams, she helps humanize internal processes, enabling them to create thriving workplace cultures that 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭, 𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 top talent.

Brittinay believes that elevating emotional intelligence across teams starts with assessing our environments and how we engage within them. It requires a commitment to showing up with greater common sense and empathy—leading from a place of connectedness rather than division.

But creating a workplace where both people and businesses flourish takes more than just an understanding of I/O psychology. True transformation happens at the intersection of human behavior and operational efficiency. Brittinay takes a holistic approach, not only helping leaders cultivate emotionally intelligent cultures but also streamlining processes that make work more profitable and enjoyable. She identifies friction points, optimizes workflows, and aligns systems with the company’s broader vision—because an empowered workforce thrives when the work itself is designed for clarity, efficiency, and impact.

Emotionally intelligent leaders foster happy, healthy, and unified cultures where employees’ unique strengths can shine. And when those strengths are supported by well-structured processes, organizations become more resilient, adaptable, and successful.

How did I end up a MARCOM executive after starting off as a fighter jet engine mechanic? Glad no one asked 🤣, but I am going to tell you anyway lol because other veterans need to realize that no one is holding them back after they get out of the military - the world is now your oyster. 

I never once thought about a marketing career, but after running my own consulting business for 5 years and starting to be a content creator on linkedin back in 2018...I learned how to market "work culture" & it's importance, so that I could bring in the $$ for my business and hopefully set light bulbs off in leaderships head to start doing better for their people. To be able to get 50k+ people to take interest in work culture was no easy feat, I assure you.

Of course I learned a lot in the military, but I think my ability to pivot & adapt (which the military strengthened) sure did help. From mechanic, to flight crew for the Secretary of Defense, to propulsion manager, to aerospace (NASA) planning, to program management (DOE) I truly got to see the ins and outs of it all from so many different vantage points, especially so when I was a business owner working with C-suite/VPs everyday. The pain points, the things that make people thrive, the politics, the emotional intelligence or lack thereof, & the psychology behind social media - it all played a part in getting me here.

I now help E&M Technologies, Inc. become a more well known GovCon. We have over 85% veterans, so I get to market to a community I know very well as both a veteran and now a milspo. Branding was part of my toolbox, building Vision/mission statements and guiding CEO/Founders on how to choose the correct core values for their company - all made marketing a brand easy for me in this space, because I truly understand the deeper complexities of how these things have 2nd and 3rd order effects for the business long term.

Some may say I am a jack of all trades, but master of none...that's fine, to each their own. I am a master of self & that is what got me here, so do what you will with that information. I just ask that you bet on yourself and do great things. Take what you learn from everywhere & put that intelligence to WORK!

If your team doesn’t show up like this for you - you probably are not the leader you think you are. Not saying we should ever get into a situation like this, but it doesn’t negate the facts.

I had the absolute pleasure of getting to meet Glenn Patti in person at one of our company holiday parties recently! We bonded over 🌶️ hot sauce & he graciously gave me a bottle of his own - he is building out his hot sauce company and you know I’m all about #veterans supporting veterans, so please give him a follow he has something awesome in store for our community I’m pretty stoked about!! 

PS - this sauce was so good I ate a quarter of it on a bag of popcorn in my hotel room lol no joke

Help Needed: I am trying to submit the company I work for, for veteran friendly employer awards/cert because we ACTUALLY have 85%+ veterans working for us and I want them to be KNOWN for it. 

Can you let me know of some, as I want to ensure I am not missing any. 
Thanks everyone!! This can help vets find a good company to work for after they get out of the service - your help matters <3 we want to help get them HIRED at E&M, because if they don't know about us...they can't even apply. Thusly, this helps with that.

PS - We are Small Business Women Owned company too*

This is about to hit some of yall like a ton of bricks, but I have to say it...titles do not always mean good pay. You'd be surprised how many people hold a fancy title & yet you get paid more than they do. 

That's it. That is the post.

PS - Change your perspective and change your life

I love how “military influencers” are the same type who post and ghost. They barely interact with their comments on a regular basis. How does this not show yall who they are as a person? These are the exact same type of people who we were in the military with that we couldn’t stand because they stepped on everyone on their way up the ladder - yall need to stop forgetting that and stop feeding their algorithm.

This is real talk. You can’t expect people to report vital information if you don’t have a work culture that makes them feel safe enough to do so. 

I do know this from seeing it with my own eyes before. If the psychological safety of a workplace is non-existent, employees will report issues…

👀➡️ It’s just not going to be to internally

🚨➡️ It’s going to be to places that can come down on you like a hammer (OSHA, EEOC, & more).

So, ensure you keep your culture healthy for the people who bring you profit (employees) as well as avoiding these types of headaches.

Connections - are any of you attending Association of Old Crows conference this year? My team will be there & I want to ensure they link up with the best ;)

This is really going to help me - please vote, thank you!!
