Vanya has been a great coach, improving my own personal development, as well as helping us design and implement our people strategies, as well as planning and facilitating leadership offsites.

Being a first-time founder is an immensely rewarding but lonely job. You need tons of support to survive and thrive. From family, peers, investors, and coaches. I am lucky to count Vanya as part of my support system. She is always available with her repertoire of tools to help. At times it is just listening, and other times it is challenging my thought process. A lot of times it is helping me with tactical things. I am glad to have her be part of my support system!

Vanya has been an invaluable partner and trusted advisor to me and our entire management team. It takes a well-aligned team to build a great company and Vanya helps ensure founders and management leaders within a business have the proper tools, processes, and self-awareness to keep up with the various challenges and opportunities that a high-growth start-up brings.

The Manager Trainings Vanya led, have helped us nurture and grow our management team and processes. As a growing organization, this approach has been key to creating a sustainable culture aligned with our values. She helped us create a sustained impact across our organization by keeping a constant pulse of progress and providing targeted support wherever needed.

Vanya is the Swiss Army knife of coaches. From help in setting intentions and finding focus, elevating my meditation practice, providing insight and perspective on new business strategies, and providing a (gentle) kick in the ass when needed, Vanya delivers!

I found my time with Vanya to be extremely helpful in growing as a leader and opening up new marketing channels. She makes you feel extremely supported to the point where you feel you almost have a partner who is there going to battle with you each and every day. I recommend Vanya to anyone who is looking to take their business to the next level.

Vanya’s ability to help redirect and focus in times of hardship is remarkable. Especially in the bumpy times we are up against right now, (COVID-19), she has been an invaluable support to keep me, and my non-profit, ClimateForce, focused on the bigger picture, instead of getting caught up on short term problems. Whether you are looking to re-energize your team’s culture or seeking 1-1 coaching, I could not recommend Vanya more highly. You will not be disappointed with her energy and ability to elevate your business and priorities.

Vanya has been immensely beneficial to my growth and development as a first-time founder and the head of technology in a medical AI startup. She has helped me navigate conversations in critical situations with my board of directors and team. Her approach was thorough and multifaceted, helping me define outcome, strategy, talking points, and even specific impactful verbiage. Her guidance and input have been rewarding and impactful without fail. Keen on the issues of scaling organizations, she has helped ours dramatically improve its operating cadence to better drive strategic alignment and execution accountability. She introduced a number of useful frameworks and worked with me to adapt and refine them to best fit our team. Like a veteran sports coach, Vanya excels at understanding the makeup of a team and finding the moves and plays that will succeed for them. I absolutely encourage anyone on the startup founder path to invest in developing themselves as a leader and work with her. It will benefit every aspect of your incredible endeavor.
