Today we’d like to introduce you to Roberta Fernandez
Hi Roberta, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
It was a long journey! Most of my adult career life has been spent as an entrepreneur. I love the flexibility of when and who I work with, the ability to make decisions that are of my own volition, and the satisfaction (or disappointment!) of knowing that I am responsible for the outcome of my endeavors.
Over the past 40 years, I have been a Certified Financial Planner, a faux artist, a Montessori School founder/administrator, a corporate consultant and trainer in emotional intelligence and cultural change, an app creator, and a board-certified hypnotist.
I have been able to help others change and transform their lives financially, aesthetically, and culturally, and professionally, both externally and internally. Each career has provided skills that have led me to where I am today, integrating my years of experience into personal and professional development consulting.
My signature service is AHARA, a culmination of my life’s work, specifically the last twenty years. Wisdom is gained through experience and learning.
The last third of my life is dedicated to leaving a specific legacy. The world has many problems, and we need a new way of thinking and problem-solving. The old ways are no longer as effective as they used to be. Each of my careers has always involved some type of change work. What I have learned is that when you change the Self, you effect change personally and professionally, becoming a role model that creates a ripple effect.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
For the most part, the path has been pretty smooth. Covid was a very challenging time for me, as it was for many other small businesses. I had a center with a high monthly rent that I couldn’t use. Though it was a time when people really needed my services, they were understandably tightening their purse strings.
Fifteen months ago I moved to Las Vegas, which has also been an interesting time. I decided to use this change of location to rebrand and focus on my long-term goal by reentering the consulting arena. Making new connections and building a network in a market where you know no one is challenging but fun!
We’ve been impressed with Roberta Fernandez, LLC, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I am a personal and professional development consultant. I offer programs for individuals and training for organizations that develop emotional intelligence and guide them through a change process to awaken their full potential and realize their highest abilities. I also design individual personal development and wellness programs, as well as executive, managerial, and team corporate training programs in the areas of sustainability, cultural change, and emotional intelligence.
I’ve conducted thousands of individual client sessions and more than 85 noteworthy presentations and trainings over the past fifteen years. Notable past clients are Kemps, Sam’s Club, Target, Optum, Pentair, and numerous governments, academic, and private organizations.
My years of corporate training and my years working one-on-one with individuals have given me unique insights and an understanding of how the mind works and why change is difficult for many people. The training I provide focuses on what makes us tick as individuals. When we understand this about ourselves, we can be more successful in navigating the sea of perspectives that we live in. It allows people to make more money, develop better relationships, make more confident decisions, and get the recognition they deserve.
I am known for three signature services:
AHARA is the culmination of all of my career experiences. The AHARA acronym describes the benefits of the process: A Higher Awareness and Realization of your Abilities. AHARA provides a quantum leap that enables you to think from where you want to be, rather than from where you are, into the reality of what is possible. AHARA delivers content for several different audiences: AHARA Elite, one-to-one intensive; AHARA Club, small groups with diverse backgrounds; and AHARA Team provides a common language and method for new ways of thinking and problem-solving for teams within a company.
Cleaning out Your Closet is a program for individuals that eliminates old, limiting beliefs and unresolved emotions, replacing them with a new understanding of Self and ideas for a positive and productive personal and professional life. By getting rid of beliefs and myths people carry, awareness is created that allows for a whole new level of thinking and problem-solving to take them to new heights of success and satisfaction. It’s a perfect precursor to AHARA.
Conscious Napping® is an app that uses guided visualization to improve an individual’s physical, financial, and emotional and mental well-being. RecoverWell is a specialty program within the Conscious Napping family that guides patients through pre and post-surgical procedures, addressing the areas of pain, stress and sleep.
How do you think about luck?
I don’t believe in luck. I believe we are responsible for creating our own experiences and outcomes in good times and in bad. External conditions don’t control us, it’s the internal conditions we need to pay attention to to have the success we want.
