About Bernie

I lead. For fun. I'm an international speaker, coach, and trainer who's helped grow businesses from break even to beyond $100M. Over the past 15 years I've led businesses & programs using Agile & Waterfall in both software and hardware, B2B and B2C. Currently, I'm working with teams running Kanban and Scrum while advancing Lean practices. I love helping organizations bring order out of chaos, turning strategies into results.

Speaking Sessions

  • Rapid Rapport: Creating Influence On Demand

    • 9:45 AM Saturday
    • Room Hearthside Lounge

    Who do you know who might know someone who could SEE a benefit in CLEARLY sharing their ideas? Or, do you simply wish you could persuade stormtroopers these are not the 'droids they're looking for?


    Would you like to influence how others perceive you in interviews, when networking or working in pairs and teams? In this interactive (that means audience participation!) session we’ll cover:

    • * Why this works
    • * Simple, verbal techniques to build rapport fast
    • * Practice on how to build and break rapport (helpful to keep discussions concise!)
    Come learn some simple, yet subtle techniques to shift communication effectiveness by a factor of 5 or more. And while participants are advised away from initial use with stormtroopers, VCs, angels, executives and clients are fair game.
