Transforming from Corporate Villian to Corporate Solution

Today, we're visiting Atlanta, Georgia to chat with our guest, Ms. Bernadette Boas, and if we're lucky, we may be joined by her four-legged best friend, Coco. Bernadette Boas is a renowned ball of fire in everything she does, from her corporate executive coaching, training, and speaking, to playing pickleball and loving on tons of dogs that she cares for in her spare time. With Ball Of Fire coaching, Bernadette brings her 25 years of corporate executive savviness with her entrepreneurial spirit to transform corporate executives, teams, and businesses around the globe into the powerhouse leaders they're meant to be. With what she's called her pink slip to freedom, Bernadette authored her first in a series of books, Shedding the Corporate Bitch: Shifting from Bitch to Rich in Life and Business. During our conversation today, you'll hear Bernadette and I chatting about a central theme of who not to become as you ascend that corporate ladder. She's coined a couple of great expressions that we explore in our conversation, such as, "making money is 80% mindset and 20% skill." And, "shedding your bitches of fear, so you create riches in your work and life." And you'll hear that Bernadette defines the word, "bitch," to refer not so much to the outer persona that's displayed to the world but to the things happening within that person that is triggering this outer behavior. Bernadette is the founder and CEO of two aspiring Atlanta, Georgia-based companies; The Boas Group, which is a business management and consulting practice, and Ball of Fire Inc., a media, communications, and publishing firm, and home to the mega-brand, Shedding the Bitch, which is focused on the health, wealth and prosperity of individuals and organizations.  Prior to starting her companies in 2008, Bernadette spent over 25 years driving change and delivering significant revenue and profitability improvements to clients such as Walmart, Target Corporation, Office Depot, Sears, American Retail Group, and many others, in both consulting and management leadership positions. She's an active board of advisors member for Bring On The Music organization and an active member of CEO Space International and Atlanta Women in Business.
