Client Transformation

“From doubting $30k contracts to landing $60k in dream projects in one quarter”

When this client started our work together, she couldn't imagine pitching a $30k contract. Even though she had the expertise, something was holding her back from charging premium rates.

The transformation continued well beyond our partnership. Months after our work together, everything shifted. She not only confidently pitched TWO $30k+ proposals but landed both of them - with her dream clients. She secured $60k+ in aligned projects in a single quarter, setting herself up for her most profitable quarter yet.

The Real Transformation:

  • Moving from self-doubt to unshakeable confidence

  • Finally owning her expertise and worth

  • Creating proposals that feel aligned AND profitable

  • Working with clients who light her up

This is what becomes possible when you blend strategy with intuition and step into your full power.

“From twinkle in eye to owner of boutique consulting firm

“In my gut I knew I wanted to try consulting out, but I hadn't made any concrete steps. I hadn't secured my clients, or told anyone in my network, or had meetings. Victoria and I started from an idea to a twinkle in my eye to setting the foundations for my coaching business...Now we just wrapped up the first half of 2024 and I've worked with four really amazing clients this year, do work that I'm proud of, and I'm now on track for doubling what I made in the first half of the year in the second half of the year. I'm officially an owner of a boutique consulting firm!”

Celia Goetz, Director in Nonprofit and Former Client

When I returned to work after having my first child, I was struggling. Folks said "it would get better" in terms of being a new mom and working full time so I waited months to feel differently, but there was a persistent feeling that I needed to make a change... At the time I didn't really know what I needed but I had almost reached a panic point about knowing I needed something different. I had all sorts of jumbled thoughts about next steps and had sped through some frantic job applications. I was really hoping investing in coaching would be helpful! And it absolutely was. The biggest challenge I faced before we started working together was that I was generally burnt out and was not able to think strategically about next steps… During our time together Victoria helped me identify and prioritize my needs, think in a "sky's the limit" way around different possibilities, and encouraged me to learn as much as I could about different job options and how to go about pursuing them.

Hear from my clients

Will Long was an attorney with a variety of interests and expertise looking to explore and make a career pivot.

TESTIMONIALS

  • "After exploring other career coaching options, I chose Victoria because she stood out as the most strategic and aspirational in her coaching approach. Her breadth of experience coaching as well as her roles in various fields and industries is hugely beneficial to the coaching process as she is able to share insight on several different job contexts. She is also realistic and transparent around setting goals as they relate to compensation which was important to me...Victoria was like a more expereinced and wise inner voice that reminded me of my priorities and boundaries in the process and brought me back to to them when I went astray. She is a very attentive listener and relfective in her coaching and values her client's intuition in their job journey. "

    Celia Goetz, Director Nonprofit

  • "I was questioning whether or not to negotiate my compensation further, but after speaking with Victoria I was given the confidence to go back to my potential employer which led to 15% increase in base salary and additional equity. Victoria helped me frame how to negotiate with the employer, advised me on what language to use, and reminded me of how women are so much more likely to not negotiate than men. She ultimately gave me the confidence and tools to advocate for myself."

    Amelia Villines, Senior Director in Tech

  • "When I first started working with Victoria, I had no idea how to communicate my skills to employers, and as a result, lacked so much confidence in myself and my ability to advance my career. Victoria helped me recognize my strengths in a marketable way and how to convey them on my resume/cover letters. She also worked with me on my interpersonal communication so that I would be able to interview comfortably and assuredly. I've felt so much more confident in my interviews and have seen myself advance through the hiring process farther than before."

    Valerie A, Public Sector

  • "Victoria is an amazing coach. I joined our first session feeling lost and uninspired with my career. Victoria gave me the confidence and guidance to work through the doubts I had about my future. I left our program with a clearer mind and idea of what truly makes me feel happy. Victoria helped me find the fine line between being realistic and taking risks. I would highly recommend working with Victoria - she will change the way you think about your future."
