I'm Bernard Kates.  I'm a professional Mindset Coach and a Leadership Coach and Mentor.

​

When I started this blog it was all about leadership, but as time goes on I've found that I want to write about other things, too.  It will evolve into a mixed bag of subjects and topics that I hope you'll find interesting.

​

If you've read my profile you'll know that I'm passionate about life coaching as well as leadership, and about helping those of you who want to work on developing yourselves, both personally and professionally, so as to become the best version of yourself that you can possibly be.  Some of you will go on to become the kind of inspirational, transformational leaders that the world today so badly needs.

Over the years I've accumulated a lot of knowledge, skills and experience in the leadership and personal development fields, and I'm going to use this website and this blog to share that with you.  Let me be clear about one point, though: I'm not setting myself up as any kind of a guru!  I've learned a few things in my time, but I absolutely believe in the old maxim that none of us is as smart as all of us.  That being the case, I'd love it if you'd share your comments and questions so that all of us using this website can learn from each other.

​

In this Blog I'm going to share my thoughts and ideas on many and varied topics.  If something I say here inspires you or stimulates your thinking, if it annoys you or you flat-out disagree with me, please do add your comments.  Keep it clean, and reasoned arguments only, please!
