Bernadette made it so easy for us to help facilitate the AI trainings. Spoon feeding us for success. I really appreciate the hand holding, problem solving, willing to hear feedback and help us all improve. I had a very positive experience working with her.

What I like most about the workshops you lead is that you always encourage participation. Instead of just presenting, you find a way to invite engagement with thoughtful questions and opportunities for us to share our experiences. It's a great way to keep us engaged. You explain things clearly while also adapting to questions on the fly.

Even in larger sessions, you acknowledge people's comments and build on ideas shared in the chat or discussion. I always feel very seen and heard.

One leadership skill you demonstrate particularly well is inclusive leadership. You create an environment where diverse perspectives are welcomed and encouraged, helping participants feel valued and increasing overall participation and learning outcomes.

Bernadette also facilitated a fantastic Workshop #1. It was the model I used to do Workshop #2. What stood out to me was her ability to draw participants personally into the conversation (hard to do with everyone remote) but she successfully would call people's names, commend them for their insights or questions, and invite them into the conversation. Brilliant facilitation that I copied for my workshop. Well done!
