Background

About Jay Bernhardt

I am a goal driven, future-oriented yet agile leader who backs decisions with data. To me this is solid strategic thinking that incorporates all the factors that might affect a situation. My brain is trained to look at multiple ways to reach the destination. It’s a strategy game for me – when faced with any given scenario, I bring data, I spot the relevant patterns and issues, often generating innovative ideas and alternative ways to proceed, yet remain an agile decision-maker. This skill is useful to me as a Leader and Facilitator when working with Sales Leaders and High-Pos. I must be well-thought out yet open and aware of what’s needed in the moment to engage and make the intended impact for the good of the person, content, and time. I am also a visionary thinker with a plan. Whether it be an itinerary for a trip with my wife (which includes a PowerPoint) or completing my Doctorate of Strategic Leadership, I am a thoughtful and an intentional communicator in pursuit of a goal. Yet, visioning without strategic thought can be vaporous. I am committed to a strategy backed vision so what I lead, and what we work on, lasts. In all that I do, I aim to propel people to higher levels of excellence by assuring and reassuring them that I value their contributions and their capabilities. While success is about strategy and vision – nothing can be done unless people are connected to and with the process.
