Awa Bernard
I'm Awa Bernard, a Leadership Transformational Coach and Career Consultant with 15+ years in recruitment and headhunting.
I currently serve as a Global Head of Talent while building LeaderShift Explorer.
Born between Senegalese and French cultures, I've experienced firsthand the challenge of belonging everywhere and nowhere simultaneously.
This journey shaped my understanding of identity and transformation.
I help professionals and teams move from "survival mode" (adapting to fit in) to "thriving mode" (embracing authenticity).
My approach combines embodied learning, gamification, self-discovery, and practical strategies.
My work is guided by five values:
Spirituality – Connecting with purpose beyond material success
Creativity – Creating new possibilities for transformation
Excitement – Bringing energy that ignites positive change
Wisdom – Making sound decisions while staying open to new perspectives
Passion – Approaching my work with deep commitment and joy
