  • Vanessa is the real deal. On numerous occasions, she has supported me in clarifying my thinking, overcoming mental barriers and moving towards achieving my goals. I have experience with a few different coaches, and this is not always a given. I instantly felt I was in competent hands with Vanessa – her knowledge of neuroscience and human behaviour is vast. But more importantly, her kind and genuinely caring nature create a space where you dare to be honest with her (and yourself). For me, this has resulted in potent conversations and my achieving more than I expected. You won’t regret hiring Vanessa as your coach.

  • For almost 2 years Vanessa has been working as an external coach / trainer in various activities for our NGO apropolis - das politische Forum für Jugendliche e.V. and I can highly recommend her as an excellent coach regarding personal development, sensitive handling of young people (14 - 17 years), one-on-one coaching as well as in workshops, giving orientation without being restrictive, ideal for train-the-trainer activities for our masterclass (young adults 19-23 years) including conceptual work. Many thanks for the good cooperation. I am looking forward to further projects.

  • Her coaching was a real eye opener. Who would have thought that not all members of my inner team are team players? LOL. And I really enjoyed the way she used creative writing for the purposes of the coaching. Highly recommended.

  • I worked with Vanessa as my coach in 2021 when I was just starting out my own journey of coaching education. I didn't really know what to expect but was soon pleasantly surprised by the ground we covered and the depth of our conversations. Vanessa was able to create an environment where I felt safe to share, without any fear of judgement or criticism. One of the things that helped the most was that we didn't only work on finding solutions for any present issues but identified root causes within my mindset and emotional world. Being coached by her still supports my professional growth and I feel more prepared to tackle issues that are coming my way, connecting things to what we discussed and being able to transfer that experience to new ones.

  • Vanessa, creates a safe space where I can freely express myself. I like the fact that she always asks the right type of questions to help me increase my awareness on the topics I am concerned about. She is always patient and supportive.

  • Vanessa is a wonderful coach. I felt understood and welcomed and therefore safe exploring vulnerable topics resulting in big changes. Vanessa follows the client's lead but is also able to quickly highlight areas of potential focus. This shined the light on aspects of myself that were previously unclear to me. The clarity enabled the sessions to be highly productive resulting in great insight and actions I could take into everyday life.

Why Humility Can Be Good For You

Alexander Pope already said "To err is human…" but we live in a time where people of authority need to know it all… Parents are expected to know what's best for their children and even if they do have it at the wrong end, they will definitely not admit it to their offspring. They are the parents after all. Teachers in schools are likewise seen as the ultimate source of knowledge. When interacting with their students, they are expected to choose the right mode of communication…

You are sitting at your laptop, reading the latest email from your CEO about your company's new strategy and how according to her, this new strategy will solve all the issues and will be the magic pill everyone has been waiting for. You feel some burning in your stomach region, tension in your shoulders, a cramp in your jar, and a tingling in your fingertips; ready to send a reply, asking her whether this is just a belated April Fool's joke or whether she is actually serious…
