It was an experience to remember –Literally. Bernadette and how she implements the neurocoaching process offers a new way to connect with our needs as humans. I learned to identify how my communication impacted me personally and on my team. I’ve seen a dramatic improvement (and ease!) in my interaction with my clients and business partners.
