Bernadette Schwerdt

I have always been a nervous speaker, but after one day with Bernadette I had the tools to prepare and deliver with confidence. I am now using the structure and tools I learnt from Bernadette and have had huge success in my sales pitches ever since.

Bernadette was MC at the tenth anniversary of our Women in Business Luncheon this year with Magda Szubanski was our guest speaker. We had a record attendance for the event. Bernadette did an excellent job in engaging with the audience and was most entertaining with a lovely blend of humour and important information throughout the event. I highly recommend Bernadette for any future speaking engagements.

I just wanted to write a quick email to say how much we enjoyed Bernadette Schwerdt hosting our last two webinars. She is absolutely amazing and so much fun to work with. She really knew how to engage our audience and was so quick to adapt and manage superbly when technology started playing up and speakers starting to talk... and talk.. and talk. I absolutely would use her again. She asked our Marketing Manager really creative questions and really helped us get this talk to a place where it would be engaging. She is amazing with our conference technology, held the attention of our audience, and managed a significant sized audience really well. We particularly loved how she engaged our audience by asking them questions. I have absolutely nothing average or negative to say about Bernadette. She is AMAZING!

This is the best session I've been to in ages. Bernadette was knowledgeable, approachable, well prepared and great to listen to. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

The calibre of guest speakers which Toyota Australia provide at their dealer training courses has always been high, but they went to a totally new level by using Bernadette Schwerdt.  Not only was Bernadette’s speech thoroughly entertaining and engaging, it also provided attendees with some savvy, straight forward techniques which could be used on a daily basis to improve their verbal and written communication skills.  I’m not someone who often gives a 10 out of 10 – and I won’t now.  I’m giving a 12.

Bernadette Schwerdt was so wonderful to deal with! She provided us with great value -  including a video promo clip and content for blog / publication in order for us to promote the event and her keynote. Her presentation was sent through in advance, to brief and she even provided confirmation of flight arrival details the morning of, which makes it so easy (and stress-free!) from an Event Manager’s perspective. Her presentation content and delivery was very well received and had been well tailored to our specific audience of female real estate professionals. Our attendees spoke very highly of the inspiring, yet also practical keynote. Thanks very much Bernadette!

You are a dynamic professional whose passion is second to none. You understood our requirements and the messages from your presentation resonated well with the attendees. You delivered what you promised and did it in a way that the attendees totally understood. We would certainly recommend you as a speaker for any organisation – you have an amazing array of topics and talents to share. It was such a great pleasure working with you.

It is with pleasure that I recommend Bernadette Schwerdt, a presenter committed to tangible and practical outcomes. Bernadette is a subject matter expert that backs up her sessions with a really engaging and powerful presentation style. From the initial briefing right through to the post-conference follow up, Bernadette is a delight to work with and a true professional. I have no doubt that we will be working with Bernadette again in the near future.

Thank you again for helping our team overcome the fear of presenting and being able to articulate the features and benefits of what we do. It has been a fantastic experience for all involved, from both a professional point of view and as a team building exercise. The feedback I have received from all our staff can only be described as glowing.
