The hardest part of growing is the inevitable moment of change.
Starting out just my business partner and I, we had grown from two into a company of more than thirty in a relatively short amount of time. We had a great approach to design but were much less versed in company organization and strategic positioning of people.
We partnered with Berta for a couple of years and her work was instrumental in giving some shape to a wonderfully creative, albeit chaotic, group of people; creating specific roles, responsibilities and a hierarchy to help with the workload flow.
Looking back, perhaps the biggest area of change was to mind-set, which is also one of the toughest. We’ve been working on answering the hard questions and a lot of self examination to find the answers to riddles that have been needing unraveling for some time now.
The process of coaching key players in the company has been fundamental in creating a line of managers that filter problems, find solutions and ensure daily operations are running smoothly.
By no means are we anywhere near finished, but for sure we’re on the path to making decisions based on a more logical approach to staffing, retention of the right people and setting career goals for the future, in addition to mapping a way to reach these objectives. Obviously Berta’s experience has been crucial in getting us onto a smoother path, we still have daily hurdles and bumps mind you, but I would dare say her positivity and ability to push for long-term thinking is creating a new style of management in Dimorestudio that will no doubt ensure our future on the design scene
Working with BMS has been a game-changer for our leadership team. We initially sought out her expertise to fill a gap in strategic HR support, particularly in leadership coaching and development. Our leaders were highly talented, but we knew there was untapped potential that, if unlocked, could help propel our business to the next level.
Through a series of Masterclasses on Emotional Intelligence and Self-Leadership, BMS provided our team with powerful insights and practical tools that transformed the way they approached both their professional and personal lives. The results were immediate, with leaders stepping up, becoming more self-aware, and improving their decision-making and interpersonal skills.
Recognizing the lasting impact of these sessions, we partnered with BMS to create a customized Leadership Development Program. This program helped our leaders build the skills they needed to adapt to change and navigate the evolving demands of our growing business.
As co-founders of a rapidly growing PR, Branding, and Events agency with a regional team of 80, we’ve seen first-hand how crucial it is for leadership to evolve alongside the business. BMS has played a pivotal role in ensuring our leaders are equipped to lead with confidence, foresight, and emotional intelligence.
If you’re looking to elevate your leadership team and prepare them to thrive in today’s fast-paced business environment, I highly recommend partnering with BMS. Her approach has had a lasting, transformative impact on our team and our business.
“As CEO of ASSOS of Switzerland, I brought BMS on board to support us across all people-related matters. Berta quickly became a valuable business partner, bringing a rare combination of strategic HR leadership and hands-on expertise. Her ability to truly listen, coach through complex cultural dynamics, and guide our employee review process with clarity and structure made a rapid impact. She consistently exercised sound judgment in sensitive situations and brought a sense of positivity and humor that made even the toughest conversations more constructive. Any organization would benefit greatly from her senior HR leadership and human-centric approach.”
It is a rare gift when you are randomly referred to someone and in the very first conversation, you find you instantly connect, not only on professional ethics but also on a very intrinsic personal level. Someone who sees you beyond the surface and/or what you project. Berta, I can wholeheartedly vouch is someone with that unique emotional intelligence, insight, and empathy. Not only is she highly experienced in people management skills and understanding business needs; she is an adept and mindful executive coach. She really guides you to listen to your inner voice and tap into your passions, so you can reach for your true potential.
I’m a seasoned business strategist and senior executive on a coaching journey with Berta’s group reinvention course The Janus Project, and it’s frankly been one of the pivotal highlights of my career. It has already begun to give me back control of my destiny and she has not only shared valuable insight by introducing us to field specialists to support us but created masterful groups to inspire one another.
I would recommend Berta’s services to anyone seeking to start up their own enterprise, pursuing a portfolio career, looking to transform their business approach, facing a career transition, or even aspiring for higher levels in their career.
Berta thank you, you’re simply one of the best!
