For the past 3 years we have asked Bernadette to speak at Outbound because her ideas are fresh, have depth and our audience always walk away energized and ready to take action. We LOVE working with Bernadette because she is enthusiastic, kind, makes everything easy and is incredibly flexible and this is exactly why she is one of my favorite speakers and why I highly recommend Bernadette.
