You're exactly where you're meant to be.
Lead with confidence, in a way that feels right for you.
Imagine leading with clarity, ease, and impact - where you trust yourself fully, focus on what truly matters, and have the energy to enjoy life outside of work.
What if you could feel grounded and assured in your decisions, knowing you don't have to be across everything to be seen as capable?
What if success meant having both influence and balance - where your leadership is recognised not for how much you do but for the presence and vision you bring?
Leadership doesn't have to feel like a constant push. You can lead in a way that feels natural, energising and sustainable - on your terms.
Perhaps you've always been the one who gets things done - the one who steps up, takes responsibility, and makes sure nothing falls through the cracks.
Maybe you've worked twice as hard to be taken seriously, yet it still feels like you have to prove yourself.
You likely start your day with the best of intentions - exercise, meditation, setting priorities - but as soon as work begins, everything else fades. The flood of emails, meetings, and demands pull you in every direction. By midday, you're juggling it all - managing up, anticipating needs, making sure nothing slips through the cracks.
You hold so many roles - leader, mentor, supporter - all the while carrying the invisible labour no one sees. The pressure to be on top of everything, to never show struggle, to always have it together.
And even when the day is done, your mind isn't. The email you didn't send. The conversation where you held back. The nagging feeling you should be doing more.
Maybe you've tried setting boundaries, prioritising yourself - but somehow, it never quite sticks.
And yet, despite it all, you've always known there had to be another way.
I get it – because I’ve been there too.
I wanted to lead with confidence, to feel in control of my time and energy, and to make an impact without running on empty. I thought if I just worked harder, got everything right, and kept pushing, it would eventually feel easier.
So I did what I thought I had to do - I took on more. I woke up early, stayed late, said yes when I wanted to say no.
I pursued training after training, hoping something would finally make prioritising myself feel natural.
But no matter how much I did, it never felt like enough.
Until I realised - I had been playing by rules that were never designed for me.
I was measuring my worth by how much I could carry, not by the impact I was making.
I was measuring my worth by how
much I could carry, not by the impact I was making.
So I did something different.
I stopped over-functioning and started leading on my own terms. I let go of perfectionism, set boundaries that actually stuck, and stopped managing everyone else’s expectations but my own.
And when I did? I finally claimed my natural confidence as a leader.
Small changes often yield big results.
That’s why I created Lead With Confidence, to help you stop overextending, second-guessing, and feeling like you have to be across everyhing to prove your worth.
So you could hold boundaries without guilt, trust yourself in the moment, and speak up even when you don't have all the answers.
So you can focus on what truly matters, let go of the pressure to do it all, and lead with more clarirty and ease. It’s about leading in a way that works for YOU.
Most work places weren't built with women in mind.
We weren’t taught to take up space without guilt or apology.
We weren’t encouraged to lead without overworking.
And we certainly weren’t told that boundaries are a leadership skill.
Instead, we were told:
"Prove yourself before you speak up."
"Be across everything so no one can question you."
"Work harder than everyone else to be taken seriously."
You can lead with heart and still be respected.
This is for you if you ….
- Second-guess yourself before speaking up – while others confidently share half-formed ideas.
- Feel the pressure to be “on top of everything” to avoid being seen as weak.
- Take on extra work, emotional labour, and unspoken responsibilities to make sure things run smoothly
- Worry that if you stop over-functioning, things will fall apart.
- Want to lead with confidence, set boundaries, and create success – without burning out.
Together we will...
Set boundaries that actually stick – without the guilt.
Speak up with confidence - even when you’re the only one in the room.
Let go of the need to prove yourself and own your worth.
Because leadership isn’t about doing more. It’s about leading smarter, stronger, and with ease.
What if you could let go of having to over-function just to be taken seriously, stop questioning yourself and release the mental and emotional load you’re carrying?
Imagine instead speaking up with confidence, even when others hesitate, knowing your boundaries and actually holding them, and having the energy, focus and clarity to lead in a way that works for you.
Let’s make it happen – together.

I work one on one with a small number of clients so you get high-impact support. My method is built on real experience and proven strategies that help women lead with confidence.
If this resonates let’s talk.
What Others Are Saying.
We all have crossroads and they can seem unfathomable. Vanessa kickstarts your thinking, challenges beautifully, gets you thinking in different ways and ultimately gives you a toolkit to help you navigate from.
Jayne, Marketing Director
Vanessa doesn't let you get away from yourself. Coaching with Vanessa means getting to know yourself more and it all starts there.
Louise, Accountant
Vanessa didn't buy into my internal story, she guided me ad showed me how to overcome what I'd been listening to for so long that was holding me back.
Karen, Entrepreneur
Vanessa has an amazing gift for helping you see your own light. And not just seeing it but locating it within yourself so that you can access it any time. Very powerful and highly recommended.
Claire, Teacher
I'm now about to start a six week fitness challenge for fitness instructors and had my first yoga anatomy published for publication.
Janet, Business Owner
I reached out to Vanessa when I hit a particularly sticky spot – THE STICKY SPOT – the big one, that’s been holding me back from stepping into the full expression of my work – and my life – for years.
Working with Vanessa was like having the shades pulled up on my life so the light could flood in – and it’s stayed in.
Working with her was like playing with colour and light, making new pictures out of old ones, seeing the same diamond that I see in myself – but approaching it from a completely new angle. I recommend her without reservation.
Amy, Business Owner
Vanessa saw right into the core of me, what I can be, and called me to be that and then some. I am now connected to my life purpose, living the dream, playing large; have stepped into my power and have the courage to speak the truth.
I have blossomed as a leader.
Marion, Transformation Manager
I can see a new found adventurism in my senior management team and we have shifted the focus of this team in a very positive way. Vanessa challenges me and my people to have difficult conversations you don't always want to have as a CEO!
Michael, CEO
Vanessa's enthusiasm for the job that she does is contagious.
Her empathy towards her client is the unique quality that makes her stand out, and this approach makes her someone trustworthy, so you can bring out your true self with her.
I say ‘trustworthy’ because you as an individual need to be listened to non-judgmentally so you feel comfortable to share your personal story, and Vanessa was able to resurface my values and principles through my story.
She has encouraged me to see the other side of the precipice which I had been avoiding during a very difficult period of my life, and this has been truly transformative.
In short, Vanessa can guide, inspire and empower her clients to achieve their full potential.
Ronak, VC
Vanessa has a natural gift for connecting with people and seeing right to the core of what they are dealing with. Working with Vanessa has had a significant and positive influence on both my professional and personal life.
Denise, Executive Coach
This experience has been transformational, even better than I'd hoped for.
Linda, GP
Vanessa helped me align with what is truly important to me, she has been a mirror and a role model. She walks the talk!
