- I had a one to one mentoring session with Bernadette and what an hour that was I learned do much in that hour. I loved Bernadette's practical approach, no nonsense approach to business. I have had the experience with other mentors in the past who shared their theoretical knowledge with me but I found I had nothing concrete to take away that I could implement in my business afterwards. After my session with Bernadette I have a series of action steps to implement and I have no doubt when I do these they will bear fruit. Bernadette is kind and generous with her time, she not only share her extensive business knowledge she also builds you up as a person she instills confidence in you and a belief that you can do this and she imparts little gems of wisdom such as Silence is golden - the power lies in the Silence. I would have no hesitation in recommending Bernadette as a mentor you have nothing to lose and everything to gain by contacting Bernadette. Thank you Bernadette for your help, advice and encouragement I really appreciate it.

An update on Solutions Consultancy Ireland
In July 2015 I founded Solutions Consultancy Ireland and I have worked with hundreds start-ups, entrepreneurs and SMEs initially via Local Enterprise Offices, Development Companies, Institutes of Technology and Enterprise Ireland where my role was in designing and delivering workshops, bootcamps, courses, business advice and mentoring via Ireland’s state supports in all that encompasses business. Now I work with people in business nationally and internationally, providing them with new and innovative advice and solutions to barriers they face. My reputation has grown through word of mouth because of the real and lasting results gained from our remote mentoring service.
By 2018 I felt it was time for change. There were other projects I wanted to include in my work and I wanted to restructure my business and change my personal life too – this did not happen overnight. I focused in my spare time on continuing to develop my professional skills while I reinvented my business model.
Originally I hired a person I worked with after much thought in March 2020 I cut ties and let that person go. Then I opened a door on a new chapter in my professional and personal life.
For the past 25 years I have been an advocate of continuous professional development, this has stood to me by allowing me to pull together what I learn from some of the best universities around the world and applying elements to both of my businesses – Solutions Consultancy Ireland and Crafters of Ireland including a wide variety of industries I have had the opportunity to work with since the beginning.
I built my repertoire to become an asset to others and to become a successful entrepreneur who could bring something new to business. The more industries I have worked in, the more experience I have gained at all levels, the further I grew through promotions, the more I could bring to the table.
I love what I do, I love helping others and I have met and connected with some amazing people on my journey.

Bernadette set up Crafters of Ireland in 2020 during the height of the pandemic. It is a support service for craftspeople in Ireland and Celtic craftspeople from around the world. The concept of Crafters of Ireland was innovative and she quickly found five channel partners who were happy, not only to promote craftspeople in Ireland, but Celtic craftspeople around the world.
Bernadette also promotes Ireland as a destination to tourists globally and she successfully highlights the Irish hospitality sector to people travelling to Ireland.

Solutions Consultancy Ireland, "We challenge ourselves to be exceptional".
Delighted with achieving 100% in my favourite subjects, Creativity, Innovation and Transformation, and it's my twelfth certificate from some of the best universities on the globe. The best thing though is that since 2015 as I study either in college physically or online, I apply all these new techniques and methodologies to my work as a management consultant, mentor or business advisor, so that I can deliver the very best to my clients.
Building your repertoire is a vital part of being an asset to others and to becoming a successful entrepreneur.
The more industries you have worked in, the more experience you have gained at all levels, the further you grow through promotions, the more you can bring to the table. I have always been an advocate of CPD and this is something I have engaged in over the last twenty years. Pulling together what I learn and applying elements to projects I work on over the years, whether through state supports such as Local Enterprise Offices, Development Companies and Enterprise Ireland for all that encompasses entrepreneurship, from micro businesses to SMEs, with courses, workshops or boot-camps and in my business advice / mentoring sessions. Lately there is a higher demand for this one-to-one service as business owners strive to reinvent their service through redesigning their business model.
