She is keenly adept at listening with empathy, synthesizing information, identifying obstacles, leading you to solutions and motivating forward momentum.
Dori Strickland, Communications Expert, Chicago
The amazing experience I had with Bernice was that she helped me surface what I don’t know that I don’t know about myself – I who had always prided myself in being self-aware! And these are actually the black swans that have been hindering my personal growth and limiting the possibilities I can create in my life. I am astounded by the new avenues this newfound enlightenment has opened up in my life. What I thought was not a possibility, I have learned, is a self-imposed restraint and a self-fulfilling prophecy that exists only in my mind. I am now excited and bold to imagine and create a new future, even for someone at the half-century mark!
Luc Miranda, Strategy Consultant, ACUMEN Philippines
I really enjoyed working with Bernice! Having her as my coach really helped me get a firm handle on some practical steps I can take to make changes in the career change I am in the midst of.

Jamarr Buchanan, Chief Operating Officer
Bernice brings deep professional experience and thoughtful suggestions to her coaching. We worked together over several months and she helped me to bounce back after a period of burnout.

Ashleigh Thevenet, Assoc. Director

Denise Cartagena, Entrepreneur
A large part of what my company does is branding, and yet it wasn’t until I worked with Bernice that I got true clarity on my own brand. One of her superpowers is the ability to listen keenly to a flood of ideas and impressions, and then pull out the golden thread that connects all the important dots. After only a few sessions, I had beautiful new clarity on what’s missing in my marketing. Bernice is a brilliant, thoughtful, and super strategic business wizard.
Deb Beroset, Business Owner

Franciskus Indriani, General Manager/ CFO, Indonesia
Bernice’s superpower is her ability to balance empathy with tough love. She worked with me recently to help me get unstuck from the swirl of internal questioning and procrastination. She created a safe space for me to speak freely. By asking tough probing questions and holding up the mirror in a supportive, caring way she was able to bring critical roadblocks to my awareness to quickly get to the heart of the issue. With Bernice’s help, I was able to achieve much needed clarity and move forward quickly on critical projects that had been sitting idle for a while.
