From her early life of low self-confidence through a series of challenging circumstances, to speaking in public for the first time at her Mother's funeral, abseiling, parachute jumping and undertaking the Great South Run, Vanessa demonstrates that no matter what your past may be, this does not need to represent your future.

Vanessa takes audiences through an engaging journey of discovery that breaks down fear, breaks through barriers and deals with overcoming a common aspect of the human condition – not feeling good enough! The journey is touching, engaging and inspirational.

“Vanessa’s speaking skills are benchmark.  I have heard Vanessa speak on many occasions over the last few years.  When she speaks, the whole room goes quiet, not because of volume but because she has one of the most listenable voices I have heard.  She has articulate clarity from which we can all learn!”

“Vanessa’s talk was inspirational and her style and approach captivating.  Thank you for the steps.  I am going to pin them up on my wall to motivate me.”
