“Bernadette's unique approach of 'walking alongside' organisations and tailoring a Sociocratic approach to their specific needs made her an excellent fit for our organization. Her adaptability and commitment to understanding our unique context were particularly appealing as we began the move away from traditional governance, in the context of high workloads.”

— Sarah Whitely, Chief Operating Officer, Iswe Foundation

Approach

My approach is highly customized to meet your organization’s unique needs and context. Together, we will uncover the optimal “acupuncture points” of support that provide the greatest leverage with the least amount of disruption. This is not an all-or-nothing process. It is a weaving of small yet highly effective interventions in 3 key areas:

  • Sociocracy provides a sustainable organizational structure for teams to become more empowered and self-directed without losing accountability.

  • Create ways of working together that support the values that matter most to your organization, your teams and individual members.

  • Support your team in becoming more adaptive and resilient by growing their capacities of self-awareness, interrelationship, conscious communication and emotional intelligence.

  • “Bernadette's grounded presence and skilled facilitation provided reassurance to our team, fostering a safe space for navigating the transition from traditional governance. She exceeded our expectations by offering unwavering support, creating a customized roadmap and guiding us at a comfortable pace.”

    — Sarah Whitley, COO, Iswe Foundation

  • “From working with Bernadette, I feel a shift on all levels of my consciousness. I am resilient - moving through challenges much faster - like gracefully jumping hurdles while in motion. My decision making occurs easily, and I am stepping into stronger leadership.”

    — Carol Teasdale, Co-founder and Director, Jackson Meadow Sustainable Development

  • “After working with Bernadette, I feel completely different – like I’ve crossed a threshold. She helped me transform my work life, avoiding a serious case of burn-out.”

    — Dr. Cathy Hearne

  • “Even with extensive daily demands on my time and energy, I feel like everything is falling into place. I am in the “flow” of my work and am fulfilling my purpose at a whole new level. Thank you Bernadette!”
