Hi, I’m Vanessa.
I’m a PCC-certified coach, ex-corporate striver, and champion of high-achieving humans who are tired of chasing the next thing and still feeling like it’s not enough.
Whether you’re leading a team, pivoting careers, navigating burnout, or just trying to feel like yourself again, I help ambitious folks and values-driven organizations create success that actually feels good.
Over the past 5+ years, I’ve coached over 500 leaders, creatives, and change-makers through personal transformation, career growth, and leadership development using a proven, human-centered approach rooted in clarity, values, and behavior change.

How I Help
✔️ Executive & Leadership Coaching — Structured, behavior-based coaching for leaders navigating growth, burnout, or change. Ideal for individuals and company-sponsored clients.
✔️ Life & Career Coaching — For high performers seeking more meaning, confidence, or clarity in their next chapter.
✔️ Group Coaching — My signature program, The Greatness, helps women stop playing small and own their unique leadership.
✔️ Workshops & Facilitation — Highly rated sessions on boundaries, emotional intelligence, values-aligned leadership, and more—designed for companies and ERGs.
For years, I was driven by a quiet but persistent sense that I wasn’t fully using my unique strengths. I spent much of my corporate life trying to carve out a path that felt like mine—only to get tangled in the pressure to conform, the feeling that I was falling behind, and the frustration of trying to thrive on someone else’s terms.
I know the cycle well:
Imposter syndrome. Overworking to prove your worth. Burning out—then doing it all over again.
Eventually, I decided to become part of the solution.
Since then, I’ve worked with over 500 executive and life coaching clients who are navigating their own version of “the shoulds”—overcommitted, overstretched, and quietly wondering if this is really it.
I’ve been there.
…and I have a formula that works.
Here’s what I’ve learned:
The goal isn’t to do more, it’s to be more.
Less burnout from swimming upstream.
More clarity, power, and ease from honoring who you are.
All that you seek is already within you. You just have to be brave enough to let it shine.
And as a certified life, leadership, and executive coach,
I’m here to help you do just that.
Client love.

“Vanessa helped me align with my personal values while canceling out the noise. She's helped let my desire to serve my community outweigh fears of imperfection, not feeling ‘competent enough’ and constant negative self talk.”
