What clients say
Bernadette was invaluable in successfully negotiating two separate job offers, one at a startup and one at Slack. I had no prior experience navigating complex equity packages and her insider’s perspective was crucial in understanding the levers a hiring team has to pull. She taught me negotiation skills I’ll use for years to come!
Preston — startup + enterprise
She was my ChatGPT. She helped me get really clear about the value I bring and showed me how to express it. I negotiated a higher salary and I walked away with tools I can use in any future opportunity. I'm so grateful I took this step and had Bernadette guiding me through it all.
Eric — education
I was drowning in interviews and pushy recruiters when Bernadette stepped in. She helped me handle every conversation like a pro — no panic, no guesswork. With her insight into how hiring teams think, I pushed back with confidence and landed a much higher offer.

MEET YOUR
CO-CONSPIRATOR.
I’m Bernadette,
Receptionist → COO. 6 startups. No degree. Just 13 years of navigating chaos and difficult founders who thought I'd stay at the bottom.
I didn't rise by being the good employee. I rose by becoming the one they couldn't ignore.
Now I help people do the same:
Get hired without the performance (interview prep that cuts through the bullshit)
Ramp fast and become indispensable in 45 days (onboarding strategy for chaotic startups)
Move up even when your boss sucks (negotiation without torching everything)
I don't teach theory. I teach what actually works when leadership is messy and the rules aren't written down.
Let's work together.
