DR. SUSAN BERNSTEIN

Early on in my career, I often wished for a mentor to take me under their wing. I would have appreciated having someone there to support my personal growth and to help me remove the barriers that I felt stood in my way of success... In both my personal and professional life, I often heard, "Stop being so emotional!"... But I didn't know how to do that. I had no idea that I didn't have to be at the mercy of my emotions. And especially when I worked in management consulting, serving clients, I didn't know how to respond when people around me displayed strong emotions - especially anger, sadness, and fear.
