Bernie gets the best from people and that's a fact! I attended her first 'Essence of you seminar' which was a weekend of fun and self-discovery. Her team, who showed us how to make the most of our looks, our bodies and our personalities instilled us with confidence and offered us easy tips that we can carry into our working and home lives. And at the heart of the retreat was Bernie - encouraging, intuitive, challenging, perceptive. She taught me things without preaching or presenting, she made it sociable and significant. There is no doubt that I was taken out of my comfort zone, but by challenging me to look at areas I thought that I couldn't change and encouraging me to change them I believe she has given me the potential to be a better manager and perhaps entrepreneur in the months and years to come.
