Bernette Sherman

I believe in investing in the people behind the mission. Through this initiative, I partner with nonprofits to improve their team's capacity to serve by sharing the 1-Thing Way framework, supported by my family’s philanthropic fund.

This takes The 1-Thing Way framework I introduce in my forthcoming book to the next level for those wanting to speed up their transformation.

No fluff. No endless planning. No long-term contracts. Just the focused action required to get you moving.

Bernette Sherman helps capable people bridge the gap between where they are and where they want to be. After transforming her own body in her late 40s and partnering with her husband of 20+ years to build a philanthropic legacy, she realized that lasting security comes from mastering personal stewardship.

As the originator of The 1-Thing Way framework, Bernette provides a practical path to manage life, career, and finances. Her methodology focuses on the foundations of awareness and mindset and energy management pillars. This is the core of her forthcoming book and the foundation of The 1-Thing Way Impact Initiative, a program that invests in the personal capacity and readiness of nonprofit teams.

She has worked as a community program manager for Kaiser Permanente’s Healthy Eating and Active Living initiatives and contributed to research with the Georgia Health Policy Center. While at the Georgia Health Policy Center she was part of the administrative arm of the Philanthropic Collaborative for a Healthy Georgia. Her work with Kaiser Permanente also included grant selection as it did when she was in the Junior League of Cobb-Marietta. She was also a graduating member of the Atlanta Women's Foundation's inaugural Destiny Fund group in 2006, which has become Inspire Atlanta.

Her philanthropy extends to nonprofits now through a private family donor fund which allows her family to create a legacy of impact.

Bernette is known for her direct approach and her ability to quickly identify the gaps in your physical or financial reality. She does not offer ongoing coaching or hand-holding. Her 1-to-1 sessions are designed for immediate effect and individual accountability. She provides the key actions to get you moving so you can show up focused and ready to lead your life.
