Bio
Kelly Shih
Vanessa is an ideal balance of connection-focused and results-oriented. When I was feeling overwhelmed by my systems (or lack thereof), she helped reorient my mindset towards work, made all the sessions a joy with her infectious spirit, and gave me a wealth of tangible and practical tips that I could apply right away. She was organized and well thought-out in the structure and progression of sessions while leaving room to shift direction based on changing needs or in-the-moment challenges. I'm very grateful to have worked with her.
Rebecca Veazey
Vanessa is an insightful and highly experienced coach who brings out the best in people. Her coaching sessions are thought-provoking and creative and her passion and enthusiasm are contagious. Vanessa coached me through a transition period of returning to work following a career break and her support was invaluable. I highly recommend her as a coach.
