I help lone warriors live, work, and love with more passion and intention!

ABOUT BERNI XIONG | SHIN KICKING LIFE SPARK

Berni Xiong (sh-UNG) is a Life Spark for hard-working, ambitious and determined men and women across the globe who occasionally suffer from "lone warrior entrepreneur syndrome."

In working with Berni over a few hours to several months, many of her clients have started new companies, taken their business to the next level, gotten promoted, improved their inner and outer body image, and found love.

Originally founded on the idea that a working class, small town Asian-American girl from the Midwest’s dairy land could defy the odds by doing great things with love and having a fearless edge, Berni’s coaching practice has evolved into a multi-faceted business that

helps creative and innovative individuals attain their untapped potential by getting clear about their true passions, getting out of their own way, and developing a deliberate action plan pursuing success.

In her own words:

I was the youngest of five siblings and grew up in a poor, working-class family as a first generation Hmong-American. Assimilating to the American way was indeed our family’s goal, but quite the challenge as cultural differences, language barriers, and poverty presented conflicts for us. I have many fond memories as a child and ones that have haunted me through adulthood. Having endured my share of unpleasant and even traumatic experiences as a child and adolescent, I was fortunate enough to obtain help at the local crisis center with my family. I will never forget the intake counselor I was assigned to who had helped me to realize how normal I was despite the criticism I had received that led me to believe I was not good enough. That experience triggered my first inspired thought about what I wanted to do when I grow up.

I wanted to make a positive impact on a child’s life!

My life was a whirlwind for decades to follow. Some choices were questionable but I never regretted them for a minute. Having endured countless challenges and overcome obstacles and adversity along my journey, I gained a wealth of knowledge and personal strength that has shaped me into the Life Spark that I am today. Much of my personal and professional growth, increased level of consciousness, and fearless attitude can be attributed to many profound experiences, which have enabled me to achieve many milestones in my life.

Now, I am making a positive impact on people’s lives!

Berni’s shin kicking perspective and transparent approach to life, work and love teaches her clients that it’s not about living to work or even working to live.

She is an exemplary model of a life led by passion backed by deliberate action.

She dedicates her life and work to support her clients through one-on-one personal and professional coaching, speaking and training at events, Reiki energy healing, free lance writing, and other fun collaborative projects that align with her focus areas.

Berni shares her residence between Milwaukee and the Twin Cities to co-parent her 17-year-old son, serve her core client base in Wisconsin and Illinois, and attend school to pursue a Doctorate of Education in Leadership.
