Executive Coaching

Scale your skills and your impact alongside your company’s growth.
Coaching helps bridge where you are to where you want to be.

Maximize your impact

 

Grow in your current role

You want to excel in your current role, whether that means getting promoted, being more strategic in your impact, or starting strong in a new role. You may also want to improve your communication skills, develop an executive presence, and manage up and around in ways that are unique and authentic to you.

Lead with intention

You’re a lifelong learner who is thoughtful in your approach as you create products, businesses, and team culture. In coaching, we bring together strategy, organizational design, management frameworks, and mindfulness tools. Take your team to the next level and grow yourself as a leader along the way.

 

How it works

 

  1. Request a free consultation

 

First, fill out this form to tell me more about yourself and what you're looking for. I'll get in touch if I think we might be a good fit.

Then, we’ll have a free 30-minute consultation by phone to better understand where you are and how we'd work together.

 

2. We’ll design your learning path

 

As part of our first session, we’ll design a high-level curriculum together, tailored to your unique journey. We’ll work through these topics at your own pace, applying them to timely examples you’re bringing from your day-to-day work life. Over the course of our work together, you’ll develop a portable toolkit to support you throughout your career.

 

3. Let’s begin

 

Over the next 3-6 months, we’ll work through a program that’s tailored to you. Through a combination of live sessions, tools, and resources, we’ll move through those themes and combine them with action towards your goals.

The full package includes:

  • Two one-hour 1:1 sessions per month (in person, by phone/video, or mixed) for a minimum of three months, to make progress that’s both manageable and meaningful

  • Tools, processes, and resources tailored to you–a portable toolkit to support you in our work together and beyond

  • Email support between sessions as needed, to continue our discussions and for accountability as you take action

“I emerged on the other side as a more confident, mature leader.”

— Julia N., Director of Product at Twitch; previously Product Lead for Creation Tools at YouTube Live

“I worked with Bernadette for almost a year, and it is a life-changing experience.

We worked together to identify what I truly want from my career and develop a strategy to approach my goals. In my day-to-day, coaching has helped me work more effectively with my team.

Bernadette guided me through many meaningful milestones, including: starting on a new team remotely, creating and delivering a 90-day plan, building relationships with my new team and leadership, getting promoted and growing the portfolio of products I manage, and speaking at Women in Product conference. She walked alongside me through my concerns and worries and helped emerge on the other side as a more confident, mature leader.

I would definitely recommend working with Bernadette. She has deep understanding of tech industry and how careers are built here. She can help you tailor you unique path, develop and execute on your personal growth strategy, and feel confident about it. She is an extremely supportive, mindful, and graceful person. I always feel recharged after our sessions.” –Julia






“Our discussions expanded my thinking on what's possible for me.”

—Geri Palast, Policymaker, Manager, Advocate, University Lecturer, and Former Assistant U.S. Secretary of Labor

"Working with Bernadette has been so valuable as I've navigated a period of significant change. After decades of leadership roles in government and nonprofit, I could sense it was time to make a shift. Our discussions expanded my thinking on what's possible for me. I am now on the boards of several organizations I care deeply about. I was also invited to speak at the Stanford Women's Network. Bernadette's unique blend of strategy and interdisciplinary thinking has helped me access my own inner wisdom and shape my own process. I'm grateful for Bernadette's support and thought partnership through this transition." –Geri

“I feel a re-awakened confidence to navigate very difficult transitions and that my professional growth is re-accelerating.”

–Aaron S., Group Product Manager, Chime

“I wish I had worked with Bernadette as a coach even earlier in my career. Bernadette taught me the value of a strong coach as an ally in my corner. I’ve benefited greatly from her guidance, support, and presence.

I reached out to Bernadette after taking a new job as a senior Individual Contributor (IC). I was worried about the pace and direction of my career growth. I felt stuck.

Over the next three years, Bernadette effectively coached me through several professional breakthroughs, including three promotions and moving to the Manager track. What I didn’t expect was how our coaching work also supported massive transitions across several other dimensions of my life, including the COVID pandemic, loss of personal support, transitioning into parenthood, and changing habits given the greater demands on my time and focus.

When I look back, I’m really grateful for how easily and seamlessly Bernadette has taught me how to:

  • Take a holistic view. Our work together has helped me appreciate the dialogue between one’s personal and professional lives. I can now look for patterns across multiple spheres and find opportunities to upgrade my perspective, which led to breakthroughs across several areas of my life.

  • Feel safe to be curious, creative, and find my own solutions. Bernadette is a steadying rock. She shows up consistently and makes you feel heard, affirmed, and validated. I felt comfortable bringing to our sessions my early thoughts and ideas to workshop, which led to faster resolution.

  • Gain shifts in perspective for the long-term. In addition to working towards my career and personal growth goals, I now have more tools and frameworks in my toolkit that I can apply across all areas of my life. I can better balance the short-term and long-term with more equanimity. Working with Bernadette has led to full upgrades on my perspective, going beyond short-term tactics.


As a result, I feel a re-awakened confidence to navigate very difficult transitions and that my professional growth is re-accelerating. Bernadette is more than a coach–she’s an ally, a friend, a teacher, and a supporter.”

–Aaron S., Group Product Manager, Chime
