Speaking by Berni
Like the rising lotus, she was able to meet difficult challenges and share with us her winning formula. – Karen O.
"A 4’11" stature with a six foot presence," is how Berni Xiong (sh-UNG) is best described. She is a dynamic speaker whose courage and strength shines through every time she addresses a crowd.
Her talks begin with candid recounts of traumatic memories that could have paralyzed her and countless challenges dealing with an identity crisis for almost 30 years.
As a child, she didn’t have the resources at her finger tips to give her any glimpse as to how to achieve success, as defined by societal rules, or the support to find her own voice and passion.
And yet, she defied the odds in the Midwest’s dairy land to become the first Hmong-American Life Coach and has now become that voice for hard-working, ambitious and determined men and women to find their own voice and passion.
Though equally articulate as she is well-spoken, Berni is a poised and polished communicator who doesn’t take herself too seriously. It is not so much what she says, rather it is what Berni does in her life to demonstrate that things can be achieved when we live more passionately and intentionally, and take deliberate action.
