​I’m Bernadette Cornelis – a Career Disruptor. I transform careers into bold, meaningful beginnings.

​

Here, every moment is an opportunity to shine. I guide leaders like you to unlock transformative success and break through barriers designing a path of purpose, joy and success.

​

This is my story.

​

Years ago, I thought I had it all figured out.

​

By 28, I thrive - working in blue-chip companies alongside global leaders who are shaping strategies at the highest level. For a while, it feels like I’m ruling the world with them.

​

But behind the scenes, I’m working 16-hour days, losing touch with myself in a cutthroat corporate environment. I learn things the hard way, carving my path in a shark’s game. I buy into the idea that ambition and the supremacy of hard work will lead to fulfillment and success.

Instead, I feel more like a cog in a machine than a person with purpose, disconnected and increasingly lost in a rat race for success. The truth is - I’m chasing goals that aren’t truly mine and it leaves me feeling unhappy.

​

The journey that changes everything.

​

This hard truth sparks a path of introspection and growth. Every challenge becomes a lesson, teaching me resilience, transformation, self-discovery and the true meaning of fulfillment.

​

Twenty years ago, I took the leap. I decide to create my own firm, grounded in authenticity, purpose and joy. My experience in executive search and growing interest in neuroscience deepen my understanding of how the brain shapes human behavior.

 

Through this process, I uncover my unique ability to embrace transformation and encourage others to do the same.

​

The ultimate concept.

​

Today, as a mentor, I understand the fears, frustrations, and untapped potential of leaders as they navigate their own challenges.

​

Driven by a passion for neuroscience, authentic leadership and fostering true happiness in the workplace, I’ve developed a transformative mentoring methodology: I Am Unique.

​

Through ‘I Am Unique,’ I inspire leaders to bridge ambition with authenticity and fulfillment, turning obstacles into growth and transforming careers into bold, meaningful new beginnings.​
