Here's what people say about Bernadette Schwerdt - professional speaker, MC and trainer



Testimonials for Bernadette 's keynote speeches and MC services:

"The calibre of guest speakers which Toyota Australia provide at their dealer training courses has always been high, but they went to a totally new level by using Bernadette Schwerdt. I’m not someone who often gives a 10 out of 10 – and I won’t now. Bernadette was 12/10. Best I’ve seen. Had the whole room laughing."

Tania Hall, Toyota Marketing Dealers Conference

"I attended a training day lead by Bernadette prior to a keynote speaking event recently. I have alway been a nervous speaker, because of my poor preparation, and lack of understanding how to structure and deliver a public speaking event. After one day with Bernadette I was confident and had the tools to prepare and deliver with confidence. I am now using the structure and tools I learnt from Bernadette in Business presentations, sales, and team building. It’s all about the structure and delivery! Thanks again Bernadette."

Nicholas Kerr, Executive Director, Farm Foods

"Bernadette was so easy and comfortable to work with! She has helped me to organise my speaking style, into an easy to follow formula. I gained the comfort and the tools to use my speaking nerves to my advantage. Invaluable assets added to my speaking toolbox! Thank you so much Bernadette!"

Vanessa Katsanevakis

"Bernadette ran a full-day content writing course for the media, content and communications teams at VU - the event was terrific with amazing feedback from everyone who attended! Content was specialised to those working in the university marketing space and it was evident that Bernadette had taken the time to familiarise herself with our product and KSPs as well as analyse the successes and failures of our current approaches. It's this kind of dedication to detail that really sets Bernadette apart as a trainer and makes her courses so valuable to a diverse range of industries. Highly recommended!"

Maya Linden, Victoria University

"Bernadette was MC at the tenth anniversary of our Women in Business Luncheon this year where we had 521 guests attend at The Australian Events Centre, Essendon Fields. Magda Szubanski was our guest speaker. We had a record attendance for the event. Bernadette did an excellent job in engaging with the audience and was most entertaining with a lovely blend of humour and important information throughout the event. Thanks to Bernadette's professionalism the event ran to schedule. I can highly recommend Bernadette for any future speaking engagements."

Craig Skelton, Community Partnerships & Sponsorship Coordinator at Moonee Valley City Council

"We engaged Bernadette to be the event MC at the Venture Melton Business Summit 2018 which was Council's hallmark business event for the year with over 200 guests. From first point of contact through planning and then delivery of the event on the day, I found Bernadette to be extremely professional, well organised, flexible, and above all else, a lovely person to deal with. Indeed, the inclusion of a short key-note presentation from Bernadette on the speaking schedule for the day was one of the more memorable sessions for the day. Bernadette's ability to take ownership of the running sheet, adjust times as required and keep the day flowing smoothly was much appreciated. I highly recommend Bernadette for MC and/or speaking roles."

Bruce Marshall, Coordinator Economic Development & Tourism, Melton City Council

"It was a pleasure to have Bernadette MC’ing the 2018 Venture Melton Business Summit event. Bernadette addressed our brief with ease and confidence and is highly skilled in her delivery. I would gladly call upon Bernadette again and can recommend her highly."

John Peacock, Associations Forum

"‘Bernadette’s detailed preparation, attention to detail and genuinely personable presentation skills meant that both our panelists and audience at Disrupters were fully engaged and comfortable throughout the event. She worked with my team to ensure a seamless transition from individual interviews to panel discussion to the audience Q & A and was professional and warm in her dealings with everyone. She also ensured the event stayed on schedule without ever appearing to rush and took time to network with guests at the close of formalities. Highly recommended!"

She is consistent and extremely professional in her approach, taking the time to address my key concerns. Recently I was asked to deliver a Ted talk. Without Bernadette’s clarity and direction, there is no way I could have achieved the outcome I so desired. She is sound across all areas of the speaking world and is an asset to anyone wanting to succeed in this field."

Jules Allen, Motivational Speaker

"On behalf of all of us, thank you so much for sharing your perspectives and insights with us at the recent TEDx event at KPMG in Melbourne. Your insights and learnings were VERY well received by the audience, and as you might have noticed, the theatre in Melbourne was at full capacity with live video streaming to our interstate offices (including Sydney, Parramatta, Adelaide, Perth, Canberra, Gold Coast, Hobart and Launceston). For us at KPMG, hosting a TEDx event is all about inspiring our people through the perspectives of wonderful people like yourself. In the words of TED, it is all about “ideas worth spreading” and you certainly brought that to us on Friday with a refreshing, entertaining and unique talk!"

Kris Larsen, Senior Manager, Business Innovation, KPMG

Testimonials for Bernadette 's training courses and mentoring services:


"I had the pleasure of being coached by Bernadette in how to be a confident public speaker. During 3 x 2 hour sessions, Bernadette skillfully coached me through content development; how to speak so that people listen; managing nerves and performance anxiety; moderating voice and pace; stagecraft; and how to weave in storytelling so that I could connect with, rather than lecture to, my audience. The result - my 50 minute keynote to an audience of more than 150 people and my panel facilitation to the same audience received rave reviews. And I felt confident on stage. Thank you Bernadette."

Kirsty Harvison, General Counsel 


"Bernadette catapaulted my speaking skills and material to another level and really helped honed my presentation for my audiences.

Would wholeheartedly recommend her if you are looking to lift your game as a speaker!"

Dr Tammie Matson, Conservationist, Author, Adventurer

"Having Bernadette as a professional mentor has accelerated my confidence as a copywriter. It’s taken my mindset to a whole new level

Having Bernadette as a professional mentor has accelerated my confidence as a copywriter. Not only has it taken my mindset to a whole new level, it’s been hugely beneficial moving forward (particularly in the early stages of my career). If you’re looking to gain a competitive edge, then participating in the Dream Team is an absolute must. I can’t recommend it highly enough."

Lydia Atanasovski

"Bernadette’s Dream Team mentoring program gives you access to a wealth of resources

Bernadette’s Dream Team mentoring program gives you access to a wealth of resources that educate you on the business of copywriting and provides you with a number of proven strategies on how to make that business a reality."

Colin McDonald

"Bernadette showed me how to add copywriting as a niche to my existing VA business and now my business is booming

Five years ago, I decided to start my own home based Virtual Assistant (VA) business. I knew early on that I could do so much more than just general admin and I was told to contact Bernadette, introduced to me as the ‘Copywriting Queen’. I loved writing and I was already a ‘couch critic’ of advertising, so copywriting sounded fascinating. I enrolled in Bernadette’s course and my journey began. The course was comprehensive, easy to follow and her words of wisdom just clicked. Bernadette’s coaching helped my confidence grow and when I was selected to be on her Copywriting Dream Team, I did a happy dance around my living room. Bernadette showed me how to add Copywriting as a niche to my existing VA business. She also taught me how to ‘get out there’ and become known and as a result, my business is now booming. Thank you Bernadette, you are truly one amazing Copywriting Coach and I’m so glad our paths crossed."

Monique Bruggeman

"The course has given me both the skills and confidence to establish my own copywriting business and I am now living my passion and dream every day

I reached a point in my career where I was seeking a career change. Having owned two successful businesses, I wanted to utilise my many years of experience in business and marketing but use my passion and love for creating and writing.

After extensive research, I came across The Australian Copywriting School and knew straight away that this was the perfect course to learn copywriting skills.

I commenced the course via distance learning as it meant I didn’t have to take time off work or organise travel to Melbourne (I’m based in Sydney). But what won me over were the 10 DVDs (video of workshops), which were included in the course. You can watch each module of the course and get the same benefits as if you attended the course face to face. Cannot get much better than that!
The course material is easy to understand, gives you tonnes of examples of copywriting material and most importantly the skills and confidence to go out and be a copywriter.

Having loved the course so much, I had an even greater desire to further my knowledge and become the best copywriter I could be. What better way than to get one on one coaching from the best in the business. This is when I entered the Dream Team programme with Bernadette Schwerdt. The personal attention you receive is amazing through webinars, emails and coaching calls, as well as the opportunity of copywriting work.

The course and the Dream Team programme has given me both the skills and confidence to establish my own copywriting business and I am now living my passion and dream every day."

Bernadette Beach

"Before I had even reached the end of the course, I landed work experience in one of the biggest and well-known advertising agencies in Australia – Badjar Ogilvy!

Before I had even reached the end of the course, I landed work experience in one of the biggest and well-known advertising agencies in Australia – Badjar Ogilvy! Years later, I have worked for many of Australia’s top advertising agencies and a number of exciting small businesses. And now, as I plan to move to Asia with my partner, I’m grateful to have a career that I can pack up and take with me. Whether you are new to the advertising industry or simply want to refresh your skills, this course is a worthwhile experience."

Melissa Anderson

"Bernadette’s probing questioning skills enabled us to explore issues we would never have uncovered without her. She has an intuitive ability to see an issue from a different perspective. Our phone conversation went so quickly, but it has started our company on an amazing journey. My advice – make sure you record the conversation so you capture all her wisdom."

Sue Leslie, Senior Consultant, Communications, EndState

"From the very first call with Bernadette, I knew that the course would pay for itself many times over – and it did….more

In every coaching call I’d either learn something about: how to get new clients, how to work smarter, how to find new copywriting opportunities, how to reach my goals, or just how to live a more fulfilling life. One of the things I appreciated the most was Bernadette’s willingness to share new information with us. If she found out about a new copywriting opportunity, she would share this information immediately and give us practical and detailed advice on how to capitalise on it.

The other great benefit of being on the program was hearing the guest speakers. These speakers shared their time and wisdom as readily as Bernadette did, and their information assisted me in many areas of my business and my life.

The group coaching aspect of the program was also most beneficial because I learnt as much from the other participants as I did from Bernadette. I highly recommend the Dream Team program to any copywriter who wants to take their business to a whole new level."

Lucinda Lions

"Whether you’re a small business owner, or an aspiring copywriter, knowing how to write more than just ‘good’ copy is critical

It can mean the difference between surviving and thriving. As a scientist-turned-copywriter and small business owner, my journey started with a course at the Australian School of Copywriting.


After completing two of Bernadette’s excellent courses, I was selected as a member of her highly regarded ‘Dreamteam’ mentoring programme. And by following Bernadette’s step-by-step strategies and advice, I had my own freelance copywriting business up and running in a matter of weeks! Plus, the ongoing training and support kept me on track while giving me the knowledge and skills to take my business and writing to the next level.


More recently I’ve taken over a ‘clicks-and-mortar’ business that’s seen strong growth in the face of tough retail conditions. Put simply, I wouldn’t be where I am today without taking that first step and enrolling in a course with the Australian School of Copywriting. It’s one of the smartest decisions I’ve made."

Dr Doug Rotherham

"Being my own boss is extremely rewarding, and addictive, and it all started with the Australian School of Copywriting.

The copywriting course at The Australian School of Copywriting set me on a new path to being a full time business owner and copywriter. Bernadette’s course gave me the solid foundations I needed to become a very proficient copywriter and the confidence to be my own boss. If you are looking for a career change or to increase your copywriting skill set, I highly recommend courses provided by The Australian School of Copywriting."

Belinda Weaver

"I left the banking industry, completed your course and happily haven’t looked back since

Although banking paid extremely well and I had an amazing lifestyle, travelling to different parts of the globe on a regular basis, I wasn’t happy. I would log on to your site from wherever I was working at that particular time, and read the testimonies of people who had completed your course and made the change. It was inspiring stuff!

As soon as I had made that decision I started to think and believe that maybe there was a way out and light at the end of the tunnel. A way to have the lifestyle I desired and to enjoy the work that I really wanted to do.

I left the banking industry and completed your course and happily haven’t looked back since. I now spend my time travelling between my home in Penang, Malaysia and discovering Asia when I’m in-between copywriting assignments.

The course opened my mind to so many industries and I find it easy to switch in-between industries when assignments come along.

Thank to you and your course I now live the life that I have always wanted to live and I get paid for it too! Oh, did I mention that I’m happy!"

Keith Hockton

Booktopia review

"Fantastically helpful for start up entrepreneurs and ones who've been at it for a while too!
Not your usual, run of the mill, same old formulas for success rehashed, book. This is an interesting insight into some of the best modern day business minds. Funny, interesting and a pleasure to read.

Easy to understand and not full of technical mumbo jumbo.

Loved it!!"

SK from Melbourne

"I read this book on my recent holiday so I could see how these Entrepreneurs turned their ideas into a reality. I always have ideas but the little voices tell 'they're stupid'! This book showed me that the best Entrepreneurs all had doubts, but pushed through them to create multi-million dollar businesses. It's never too late to start. A great read, with humour and very insightful stories."

Mon from Melbourne, AU

"Delighted to have been able to provide a little input in this book. Well done Bernadette Schwerdt, an easy and informative read!"

Jane Huxley, Pandora Radio

"First and foremost, Bernadette Schwerdt is a story-teller. She's a great writer. Most business books are the literally equivalent of porridge. They're healthy for you but drudgery to read. That's not the case with Online Secrets. It's packed wisdom, anecdotes and distills the insights of market leaders into one resource. But, better than that, it's a real page turner. I consumed this book like it was a fine meal. (And I plan to give away a few copies to aspiring online entrepreneurs too. It's that good.)"

James Tuckerman, Anthill Online

"Bernadette's business experience shows in her writing style and how she's presented the info, including the topics she has chosen. It is refreshing to read a business book that gets to the point and is very real world focused. Well worth getting."

David Lennon, Business Coach

"It's eloquent, sharp and funny. This author is infectiously passionate about her subject and has a keen sense of curiosity. It's well-structured and packed with anecdotes, real life examples and experience from those 'making it happen' online. If only all business books were this engaging to read."

Emmaj, Wellington NZ

"As the host of Fairfax TV's Business Talk Show, Bernadette Schwerdt has been in a unique position to capture the best practices from some of the most successful Australian entrepreneurs. She conveyed them in a very approachable how-to guide. I would highly recommend this book as a must read for any aspiring entrepreneur across the globe. If you have an idea, want to start a technology company, read Bernadette's book first. It will save you lots of time and frustrations and help you learn from the best."

Maciej Kranz, San Jose, California, US

"I thoroughly enjoyed this book; it's a great journey into the minds of some of our country's great self-made business people and how they've succeeded in a massively changing marketplace. A lot of books provide inspiration on starting an online business: this is one of the first books I've read that both inspires AND educates."

The Hawk, Melbourne

"I loved the tips, the well thought out flow of 'how to' and how inspired I felt after reading it!"

She wrote the book she wanted to read, NSW

"Inspiring read with easy, practical ideas. Even made me LOL! It gets you off your chair thinking about ideas to start your own online business. Anyone can do it!"

Helen, Melbourne
