Bio
Cory Williams
I have known V for more than 20 years. We meet whilst we were both travelling around Europe, where we formed a strong friendship. Even though we unfortunately live in different countries, I am pleased to say, that friendship continues to this day. When we met all those years ago, I wasn’t in a good head space. A year earlier I had been diagnosed with a benign brain tumour. (hope you don’t mind me saying this) V was also suffering from a chronic illness, so I guess you can say we found some common ground. Over the next month I learnt the V is one of the most approachable, compassionate, thoughtful, and positive people I’ve ever meet. She is also extremely enthusiastic, humble, and honest. She helped me through a rough time, for that I am forever grateful. She seemed to possess a maturity beyond her years. She was willing to share her life experience, good and bad and she was and still is a fantastic listener. She just has this fantastic way of communicating with you, which helps her connect with people from all walks of life. It’s easy to see why V is now running her own coaching & consulting practice. V, I wish you all the best for your personal and professional life. I hope we get to sit down together again one day and share a wine or two. All I know is, whatever you are doing, or will be doing future, you will be successful. So will the people who decided to work with you. All the best my friend. Cory

Veronique is a focused and passionate professional. She is someone that I know I can rely on for her wisdom, integrity and curiosity. What stand out for me most about Veronique is how her caring spirit shows through her incredible efficiency.

Working with Veronique as a coach has been an invaluable experience. As a coach she knows how to listen, and how to ask the right questions that i need to hear to help me gain better perspective and insight into my own life. Her coaching has given me a real boost in confidence and a clarity in focus, which i much needed. I would recommend her any day.
