TITLE: FINDING YOUR BRAVE
MESSAGE: Boldly Inspiring New Possibility!
With businesses going bankrupt. Banks going bust. Burnout at epidemic proportions and a pandemic that has shifted the axis of humanity …
…One thing remains constant – The need to find our brave and live life in a grounded state of possibility!
But with this awareness comes change, uncertainty and self-doubt.
There is, however, an alternative way to view disruption today and into the future. To do that you need to adopt stories steeped in:
- Resilience
- Resourcefulness and
- Real faith that all will be OK.
We are in unprecedented times. Bernadette will weave together relevant strategies and riveting stories that led her from bedridden and bankrupt to finding her brave.
Her journey is not dissimilar to many ordinary folk today – uncertain! When life took an an unexpected turn, her Platinum Credit Card was abruptly replaced with a humble Yellow Welfare Card, before she experienced the extraordinary – the US Government gifting her a Prestigious Green Card. Share the twists and turns that shifted the trajectory of her world and how she ended up being acknowledged in the top 1% in her field, boldly inspiring new possibilities.
This tale of hope and courage in the face of adversity will demonstrate to you that possibility is truly found in the cards!

THE WHY BEHIND THIS KEYNOTE SPEAKER'S PATH

I won’t talk about Bernadette’s great speaking skills. Those are obvious. I’ll choose to talk about how she made such an impact in me, that even 10 days past her speech I still reflect on it daily.
If you’re looking for a public speaker, they’re a dime a dozen. Bernadette’s key difference is that she REALLY cares and goes the extra mile to deliver content and advice that makes a difference.
Thanks for your work with us @ AA-ISP Portugal and also for the impact you made in my own life.

Keynote Speaker Bernadette McClelland was definitely one of the best speakers at the Sales and Marketing Expo in Los Angeles. She shared her experience of how to get to the “Yes” without trying by accessing the emotional side of the customer through storytelling. Once you can access the emotions of the customer, rather than explaining by logic, you can easily sway them to them saying yes to whatever you’re selling. Be a storytelling company and sell the change and you will be successful. Thank you for an awesome presentation!
