- Life is a journey of struggle, victory and celebration to inspire the quiet and unspoken voices, so they find their power, stand up and are heard.
Bernadette McBurnie believes that the fear of being seen is at the heart of all fears. How we handle that fear determines our life path.
Bernadette describes herself as a citizen of the world. She’s enjoyed a life full of rich, diverse, and challenging experiences, both personally and professionally. Following a thriving career from software developer to Corporate Executive in France, Hong Kong, Japan, Canada, and the United States, she developed a strong passion and commitment for Leadership, Women’s Empowerment, Inclusion and Belonging.
Bernadette lived the rewards and challenges of climbing the corporate ladder, took an 8-year career break, and experienced the struggle of redefining herself. She lost confidence, and her fears stopped her from becoming who she wanted to be. However, she adopted a growth mindset and committed to her ongoing personal and professional development. Bernadette believes that everyone shapes their life with every choice they make. When we embrace our individuality and use courage to be true to ourselves, we regain our voice and power. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

It depends on us, whether we let them stop us or not... They can certainly put us down, but we can get up again, and in time have resistance to it
