Curating Career Life Stories: How Did I Get Here? Episode 149 – An interview with Daphne Bernicker
Join me for the career reflections of Daphne Bernicker, emotional intelligence expert and Vistage chair. Born in Trinidad and Tobago, Daphne’s multicultural upbringing shaped her appreciation for diverse perspectives. Initially drawn to psychology, she pivoted to finance, earning an MBA and landing roles at two Fortune 100 companies.
After a decade-long break as a stay-at-home mom, she re-entered the workforce, eventually discovering her passion for coaching. Through continuous learning and collaboration with emotional intelligence leaders, she developed innovative tools and now empowers high-integrity leaders to excel and uplift others.
What’s served Daphne best, two things: 1) being tenacious and thinking things are going to turn out well, and 2) being creative, finding a solution or different perspective to advance a situation.
Words of wisdom that impacted her start with a quote from her mom: “Bloom where you’re planted” inspiring her to create one of her rules “Being comfortable in my own skin wherever I am, deciding I belong wherever I am!”
