“ Vanessa was enthusiastic and encouraging throughout. The scheduling was easy and flexible and I appreciated her ability to adapt the sessions to my needs. Coaching has helped me to:
1) Reflect on my choices and make future decisions that align with my core values
2) Be committed to a future orientation
3) Be self-reflective with compassion
I am feeling more calm and mindful in my work which allows me to make a conscious choice of my leadership style. In my work I am feeling happily energized yet calm.

“Vanessa is a fully competent, thoughtful and direct coach. She provided clear and effective guidance to me while I navigated a new role after changing my professional area of focus. She strikes a great balance between listening and advising, and together we tackled a variety of work-related topics. During one of my favourite sessions we worked on building my professional mission statement – the process she designed to lead me through this exercise was clear and engaging. She has also provided several empowering analogies relevant to my role that I refer to often. Vanessa is an excellent coach and I highly recommend her.”

I needed a boost and decided to work with Vanessa for 3 months. We met face to face at first then moved on to online coaching.
I was surprised as how much got explored and discovered and fixed in these 3 months. I had to say out loud what I tried to ignore, She made me think about the whys and the hows and gave me well more than the little boost I was looking for.
I would recommend Vanessa to anyone looking to better their lives, their relationships or their business👍

“Vanessa filled a critical leadership gap for me in my pathway to becoming the CEO of my business. She helped me see that self- care is a critical value when the stress is high in achieving entrepreneurial goals. Scotch and a cigar in what she identified as “Canoe Time” for me has been a pressure valve in the high pressure of business development. ”

“After having Vanessa coach me by connecting my core to my mental, I find I am no longer in a haze of overwhelm dealing with my office work and business planning execution. Now I am mentally clear and this frees me up to be more present. I work better with my clients and deliver more and better. I reach my set business goals in realistic time frames. I have better focus and am internally calmer. I learned new skill sets though the coaching process – best was how Vanessa ‘Gym-nized’ my office process handling. She used the perspective of fitness metaphor to get me understand paperwork procedures and order. That really worked. I no longer feel the dread the office, I get paperwork sorted out and done – my office is fit. Vanessa helped me transfer my Gym trainer skills into the office. Her analyzing worked as her “principal based approach” got the link I was missing. I am more conscious, calm and engaged;far less in denial, and less destructive in my behavior. My office is now part of my business fitness. Vanessa took my micro cosmos to my macro: I realize: ”No one else but me is going to organize the office for me. I can now with ease.”
“Principal learning applied” gave relief. No more black box or black hole vortex. Now I understand my bucket process and how to do it efficient, and enjoy it as I create what I love , fitness and well being for my community up in Fort St. James.”
Scott Croucher, Owner of MXV -Gym, Fort St James, BC
“Vanessa helped me , connecting in a form of my values, so I can feel them to apply them now, which I could not before. They are now tangible. It pulls makes my values being tangible. I can drop into them as I do things and apply them in situations this make my choices clearer .I feel I am a more congruent being at all I do. There are no more dangles. My energy is no longer leaking, I am learning about my true form of who I really amI have a better sense of my true form and I can take it easily to action and work now. This coaching today was like a form of being reborn. Life is a constant of morphing, understanding the phases of the “pan-archy”, your frame work really pulls it together for me. I am pulling all together I have been out in atmosphere, now all comes together and makes more sense.“

“I just had an amazing session with Vanessa Wiebel. I am a Realtor in Vancouver, BC and came into our session feeling scattered and overwhelmed, and my headache didn’t help at all. Vanessa really helped me get clarity on my market niche and even helped me write up my elevator speech. I was also trying to determine my domain name for my real estate website, something that is quite stressful to do as all the goods name are taken. With her help in finding my niche market, the domain name came naturally. At that moment, I registered the name and am all set to build my new website. At the end of the session, I walked away not only with a better understanding of my niche but a logo idea, my logo tag and more clarity of who I am as an up and coming Realtor. On top of that, Vanessa also guided my through some emotional issues I had in my personal life and empowered me to stay authentic to myself. Now, my headache is gone too. Vanessa is someone I would highly recommend as she is very compassionate and skilled at what she does, which is to help others move forward in life.
Minh Ta, Remax Realtor, BC, Canada
Vanessa brings something to the table the business cultures doesn’t often acknowledge and is important. She connects soft skills with the logical understanding in such a way that I has an engineer get it. Not only do I get it, I’m able to implement the new understanding. Now I am more successful in my negotiations in my business and private life. Thanks to her I’m now businessman with integrity and happy family man.
