I am so very pleased to announce the 3rd full publication and the 2nd in my recent Business Book Series… “Mastering Diversity- We Go Together or Not at All!” It is the natural progression at this stage for me to condense key elements of my work, my training delivery, and my thoughts around the subject of Diversity, Equity, Equality and Inclusion into another “pocket rocket” as my friend Suzanne Smart calls my 2020 bestseller, “Your Business Your Way”.
Bernie is thrilled to be on the premiere episode of ITV’s Face to Face programme. You can view the episode below.

These techniques are designed to help individuals better understand their subconscious behaviours and own personality traits with the aim of helping them engage and relate to their staff and clients better. Bernie believes that “there will be strained relationships within the workplace coming out of lockdown. Some will be resentful of their colleagues who were furloughed whilst they were working extra hours. Furloughed staff will also be on the defensive returning to work. This is just one of the issues Businesses will need to be proactively preparing to deal with post lockdown.”
This cutting edge behavioural testing will also be key to Bernie assisting entrepreneurs and businesses to establish their unique personal Brand and business culture coming out of lockdown.
