About

I’m Bernie Borges, Founder & CEO of Thrive Media. I work with leaders at organizations to architect new ways of thriving in their workplace. 

As The Fulfillment Architect at Thrive Media, my passion is working with leaders who truly care about their people and want to build thriving, fulfilled teams across all generations in their organization. Through my own firsthand experience across a 30-plus year career, I know that when employees feel truly fulfilled—personally and professionally—it not only creates a happier workplace, but also leads to better business outcomes like higher productivity, greater retention, and stronger loyalty to the organization.

I work closely with leaders to design and implement Fulfillment Centric Leadership™ strategies that help employees find fulfillment across five key life pillars: Health, Fitness, Career, Relationships, and Legacy. These pillars aren’t just buzzwords—they’re the building blocks of a workplace where people feel valued, and inspired to do their best.

With over three decades of experience in marketing and communications, and as the host of the Midlife Fulfilled podcast with over 200 episodes, I bring a unique perspective on what it takes to develop fulfillment centric leaders. I am deeply passionate about helping leaders create a workplace where employees feel energized, valued, and motivated to stay and grow because they are led by fulfillment centric leaders.

Let’s partner together to create a culture in your organization where fulfillment is at the core of everything you do, leading to improved business outcomes.
