What I Do

What are some of the typical reasons Bernie’s clients work with him? Generally, most are seeking help or support for one or more areas of their professional or personal life:


• There is something at stake (a challenge, stretch goal or opportunity) and it is urgent, compelling or exciting, or all of the above.

• There is a gap in knowledge, skills, or confidence

• There is a desire to accelerate results.

• There is a need/desire for a course correction in work or life.

• Overcoming job search stress and anxiety:  interviewing, resume mastery skills, effective job search plan  

• There is a lack of clarity (so many voices telling you what to do) and there are choices to be made.

• Work and life are out of balance, creating unwanted consequences.

• Focus on leadership skills needed to accelerate development and success such as: Setting priorities and expectations; delegating work and decisions; developing people; influencing; communicating; building relationships; learning political savvy and finesse; building teams.

• There is a desire to be better organized and more self-managing.

• Help in turning an unfullfilled  career passion into reality.

* A desire to improve/transform one's image  both professionally and personally.


Some clients seek support for specific outcomes. For example:

• People who have recently been promoted to leadership/management positions and need effective leadership training.

• Executives and or professionals who have attained a certain level of success may realize that because of negative behaviors unknown to them, their careers have stalled. (Bernie has observed over 15 of these behaviors that he shares with his clients.)

• People who have been seeing a therapist prior to working with Bernie sometimes realize that, with coaching, there is another option, and they choose to leave the past behind and move forward with their dreams.

* Business owner's/entrpeneurs who desire: an experienced shoulder to bounce ideas off of; direction on how to increase employee moral and reduce conflict and turnover; reduce costs and increase profits; building the right team that can grow with the company and creating a business plan that will attract investors.

• People who are facing money challenges. (Bernie shares his 8 Steps to Financial Freedom and Independence.)

“The great danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it.”
