Today I talk to Vanessa Valencia, my friend and colleague from Trauma-Informed Life Coach training at Elementum Coaching Institute. And omg GUYS! THIS WAS SUCH AN INSPIRING CONVERSATION.
Vanessa is an Elementum Master Coach and has a business of systems and productivity support for entrepreneurs. She has built teams and scaled multiple businesses and products to over 7-figures for some of the world's leading brands such as Microsoft, Nespresso, Ford Motors and Preston Smiles. She now supports coaches in the early stages of their career that are building their businesses but are not clear on what to do each day to intentionally scale their coaching practice. Vanessa has personally coached me amongst many of my colleagues and she is a wonderful role model for me.
Vanessa vulnerably shared her own life experiences about how she left her corporate job and found the bravery to do what she truly wanted. She talks about how she left her corporate job DURING the pandemic, and shares some amazing productivity tools with us amongst so much more.
