Practice

The more you practice for public speaking, negotiations or difficult conversations, the more confident you will become. Coaching gives you the luxury of practicing in a low-stakes setting, so you can give a performance they'll never forget.

My Coaching Philosophy

An Appreciative Approach

My approach to coaching is rooted in Appreciate Inquiry, which is an energizing and collaborative process that fosters creativity through the art of thought-provoking questions that foster creativity and possibility.

​

Building on positive psychology and human behavioral sciences, Appreciative Inquiry builds self-awareness and emotional intelligence to shift our focus, attention, and energy to exploring opportunities and possibilities. 

 

I invite you to partner with me to build the future you want.​​​​

"Thank you for being a great coach, Vanessa. This year, I led three workshops (including one at the Smithsonian and one at KIPP DC), and I was a guest on a local radio show. The skills I learned in your classes helped me focus on my audience, determine my objective, and be an informative and entertaining presenter. I could not have done this without the lessons I learned from you.  I keep your 'Steps for a Successful Presentation' and 'Qualities of an Engaging Speaker' posted on my wall."
