Bio
Lorraine Bent
I have worked with Bernadine now for over 5 years. Bernadine is an extremely diligent, professional and knowledgeable colleague. She has developed and hosted a number of workshops and material for our global customer conferences over the years and has consistently achieved over 95% satisfaction from the workshop attendees. This is significantly higher than the normal average that we have for these workshop sessions. I find Bernadine very responsive in my interactions with her, and she resolves road blocks and challenges swiftly to keep business moving ahead. An extremely valuable colleague.

Bernadine Willis is a firm leader who strives in encouraging the growth in her peers and staff. Bernadine as a manager, mentor and friend allowed me to shine underneath her leadership and constantly encouraged me to recognize and build on my potential in the world of DHL and in my personal life. I look up to this lady as an outstanding example of a strong Woman in Leadership and thank Bernadine for always acting as an example and role model to myself and many other women out there. Dynamic, confident and empathetic, it was a pleasure working with you and thank you for all that you have been.
