Bernadette Boas is a bright shining star of truth. She was very helpful in teaching me the importance of bringing value to the table and I am grateful for her wisdom!

Bernadette is an individual who has the knowledge to assist in helping others, the passion to listen, the care to accurately direct and the honesty it takes in being a leader in their field today.

Rico Pena, Owner Pena Global

Our family owned business has worked with Bernadette and her associates for almost 3 years. Together we have laid out short and long-term goals, she listened to the wishes and intentions of ownership and we have laid out strategies to meet our goals, while Bernadette has also led the way in implementing those strategies. The involvement of Bernadette and The Boas Group has resulted in a business that has corrected several unrealized gaps and inefficiencies, significantly increasing the overall value of the company, opening up many new opportunities to continued strength and business building. Today we have a company that has more potential than ever before.

Mike Falkenhagen, CEO E.L.F. Displays Fixtures and Millwork

I invited Bernadette to speak to the Women in our Atlanta office. This was the first event geared for this group. She exceeded my expectations in motivating and engaging the group of women. Examples of the comments we received were; I would love to be with her just 5 minutes a day to keep me motivated, I'm re-energized, insightful, encouraging, I needed someone to push me to think about my personal and professional goals.

Bernadette made it real and was extremely humbling in telling her story. We had customer service reps attend as well as the Chief Legal Counsel to our corporation. Everyone benefited from our lively discussion.

Sharon Noble, Vice President of Human Resources Huber Engineered Materials

Wow!! I just came from your presentation, Ignite Your Leader Within, and am soooooooo inspired and motivated!! Your enthusiasm, energy and phenomenal story have me motivated to set goals again. Not just set them, but DO SOMETHING: write them down and take action towards achieving them every day!! I particularly appreciated your advice about choosing just 3 things to accomplish yearly/daily. I have found that is why I've gotten discouraged in the past: I would make a list of 15 things and it just seemed to daunting to even start on, so I wouldn't achieve much of anything! Thank you so much for inspiring to create and achieve my goals!!
