Director & Principal Consultant
Bernii has had the privilege of working with a full spectrum of human services and behaviour ages including maternity through to aged care. This breadth of experience and education has provided her a unique opportunity to speak into the lives of individuals, families, schools and organisations to coach them in developing an understanding of their own needs and how to meet those needs effectively whilst respecting the rights of others.
Predominantly working in the educator sector, Bernii has applied her skills in helping schools, children, and families develop their own internally responsible behaviour cultures. These internal cultures promote healthy boundaries, love and respect. As a result, she has witnessed many cultural shifts in the lives of individuals and school communities from fear and control toward love, trust, honour and joyful responsibility.
Bernii has been working in the field of education since 2002. She has a master’s qualification in Social Work and a Graduate Certificate in Neuropsychotherapy which complements her undergraduate study, Bachelor of Human Services/Bachelor of Arts in Criminology and Criminal Justice (majoring in youth and family justice). In addition, Bernii is a Loving on Purpose Trainer and a John Maxwell Team Member and Maxwell Method DISC Consultant.

He has extensive experience in individual counselling, coaching, behaviour education and developing intervention strategies, while also facilitating the “Loving our Kids on Purpose” program to strengthen family dynamics.

Our unique approach to leadership development is rooted in a deep commitment to connection and the practical ways we bring this to life. Unlike many consultants who focus primarily on metrics, performance, or discipline, we place the restoration of relationships and the fostering of connection at the heart of success.
Our method is holistic, integrating insights from neuroscience with practical tools and compelling stories that resonate on an emotional level. We don’t see love and connection as mere soft ideals but as powerful, practical forces that can truly transform cultures, individuals, and outcomes.
What sets us apart is our heart-centred leadership and our focus on building genuine connections. We’re not just offering traditional training; we’re helping you understand how deeply meaningful relationships can reshape both your professional and personal lives. Our approach is about empowering you to create environments where connection drives success and growth, making a tangible difference in how you lead and interact with others.
If you’re looking for a leadership development experience that goes beyond conventional methods and fosters real, impactful change, we’re here to guide you on that journey.
Yes! For discounted bulk orders of Loving our Students on Purpose please contact us directly.
We train staff as well, but we won’t train staff until your leadership team is trained first. That’s because responsibility, stronger relationships, and restoration starts from the top and works its way down.
You can’t afford not to invest in creating a sustainable culture. You will build a reputation of being the school you say you are and this will become known in your community and will attract families and quality staff. You cannot ignore the long-term financial burden of an unproductive, disengaged and disloyal workforce. To discuss your budget and find a plan that meets your organisation’s needs, get in contact with us here.
We have been incredibly fortunate to partner with Bernii and her team from Godwin Consulting to implement the LoSoP philosophy from P-12 across the three King’s Christian College campuses. Bernii and her team’s ongoing relationship with us and their personable, mentoring approach have been instrumental in embedding the LoSoP philosophy into our school’s culture. Their impact on our school has been transformative.
The consultants at Godwin Consulting bring a wealth of personal educational experience, coupled with a strong research background. This unique combination ensures that the mentoring our staff receive has been deeply insightful, credible and very practical. The one-to-one mentoring sessions have been particularly valuable, providing tailored guidance and support to staff. I have appreciated how the mental maps and practices of all staff involved in the process have been challenged in a non-threatening manner through questioning and real-life scenarios.
What truly stands out for me is the profound transformation in the thinking of the staff who are leading our school’s culture. The consistent support from Bernii has empowered our leaders to not only adopt new strategies, but also to internalise and champion these changes across the entire school. This ongoing relationship has been essential in ensuring that the LoSoP philosophy is not just a temporary initiative but a lasting element of our school’s ethos.
We are grateful for the expertise, dedication, and genuine care that Godwin Consulting has brought to our partnership. Their influence is evident in the positive changes we see every day in our school community.

Every leader we have ever spoken to wants a better way to connect with their staff and reduce their own stress, taking work off of their desk. Staff will go where they feel valued and equipped, and they will stay where they can expand their skills and continue to grow, just like our students. If you’ve experienced stress as a leader, and have seen your team deal with the expensive cost of burnout, your organisation is ready for this.
We are not offering another program to learn. We believe that you already have effective programs operating in your school; let us enhance what you are already doing so well.
You can easily get a teacher’s perspective from anyone in your staff room; we bring a breadth of experience that crosses lifespan development, educational systems, and leadership levels.
I invite you to become part of the solution. Transforming our families, communities and nation starts with us. The today we build is the tomorrow we live in.
