Bernadette Burger is an entrepreneur, world-class burnout and performance coach, and a researcher on human flourishing.
She holds an MSc in Organizational Psychology, is an ICF member, and is certified in the EQ-i 2.0, Neurozone® Resilience Index, and integrative health coaching. She coaches senior leaders and organizations across the US, UK, and Europe, and has worked with people inside the Big Four, global investment banks, and Fortune 500 companies.
She helped integrate one of the biggest mergers on the African continent, a multi-billion-rand deal, on the team responsible for people and culture. Working with those who cracked under pressure taught her more than the research did: it was almost always the best people, and it was almost never for lack of a wellness app.
Today she coaches leaders and organizations, trains others, and is building a career portfolio around one mission: solving the burnout crisis.
"Before working with Bernadette, my life was in the red. Constant stress, poor diet, bad sleep, always on the edge of burnout. For the first time in years, I didn’t get sick once during my time with Bernadette. My energy, focus, and boundaries all improved, and I finally feel in charge of my work and my well-being."

"Bernadette helped me work through deep burnout. When we had our first session, I was hopeless. The Burnout Program helped restore my light. Even my family and friends see the difference. Coaching with Bernadette was an anchor during one of the most difficult times of my life"

HR BUSINESS PARTNER
"I wasn't really looking after myself the past few years. Bernadette helped me be honest with myself about the exhaustion and worry I was carrying. Recovery began with recognizing I'd lost myself in work. Now I'm building value, relationships, and meaning outside of my 9-5. I even have hobbies again!"
