Keeping all the plates spinning at once, isn’t always the best approach when you’re making plans.
Sometimes it helps to pause.
And reflect.
Taking small thoughtful steps, to get you on the path to where you want to be.
Yes, good ideas need to marinade.
The pieces take time to click.
It’s one of the fundamentals of the ‘Level Set’ Coaching program.
Start small, start simple, just start.
I listen to your needs then provide the relevant tools and focus,
for you to build and evolve your plans.
Step by step.
As a former CMO turned Leadership Coach, I work with creatives, strategists and marketers.
To help you grow.
To unlock your full potential.
Tackling the ‘big rocks’ that may be holding you back.
To get you unstuck.
We calculate how many working hours you have left in your lifetime, and create a plan of what you want to achieve with that time.
Vanessa Buendia is a seasoned multi-disciplinary digital marketing leader, with more than 15 years’ worth of international experience working with Saas and fintech companies, focused on product-led growth and demand generation.
Here’s Vanessa’s Client Testimonial for the ‘Level Set’ Coaching Program:
✨“The Program helped me focus on how to shift my mindset, either by visualisation or going out for a walk.”
✨ “It helped organise my thoughts, and get a bit more clarity by grounding my expectations, and reminding me that what I want to achieve requires patience.”
✨“Neil helped build up my professional confidence and organise my own sales pitch and career goals. Thanks to him I feel ready to move forward in a new direction.”
💚 Vanessa is currently ‘Open To Work’,
She wants to use her 60,000 remaining working hours to make an impact in Saas and fintech, ideally in VP of Marketing or Marketing Director roles.
