G'day! I'm Bernard Kates, from NSW, Australia. I'm a practicing Life Coach and Mentor both to aspiring Life Coaches and to people in many and various executive roles who are working on their own personal and professional development so as to become effective, transformational leaders.
I bring a wealth of life experience to my practice and I believe that through empowerment comes responsibility – responsibility to live authentically, to live with empathy and non-judgement towards others, to continue to develop ourselves both personally and professionally, to spread this way of life to the world at large and to never miss an opportunity to help those who need it.
I've moved countries three times, moved house fifteen times, changed jobs more times than I've had hot dinners and I'm currently on my seventh career (but who's counting). I'm 21 years old (with 40-something years of experience) and I believe that although change is scary the alternative is stagnation. There are almost always more opportunities than threats arising from change if one embraces it with a positive attitude and a determination to make the best of whatever situation one finds oneself in.
