As Chief Executive Officer of BB Coaching and Consulting, Bernadette’s personal and professional life has exemplified the powerful result of what happens when an individual perseveres, strives for more, and consistently moves forward despite their circumstances. She went from experiencing many challenges when it came to her journey and her purpose to reaching great heights professionally, working for the federal government and doing over 30 trainings over these past 15 years to continue to soar to even greater heights. Personally, her confidence and strength has grown and evolved to the point where she now empowers others through BB Coaching and Consulting, Brawner Reading, Education, and Development Initiatives (B.READI) and her nonprofit organization, Sisters Helping Empower Each Other (SHEE). As a single mother, despite the odds against her, she was able to raise a daughter who she has an unbelievable relationship with–one of the victories she acknowledges as one of her greatest achievements.
As a Certified Life Coach, Bernadette also holds a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree–a background that allows her to create impact on the systems and strategic direction of her clients. She is also a facilitator; motivational speaker; and a community volunteer, regularly volunteering as a Board Member with I Am Who I Am Corporation and a tutor for Charles County Literacy Council.
Her mission is to make a positive impact in the community, one life at a time, through influencing the personal and professional path of those she serves, and she does exactly that through BB Coaching and Consulting.
