So many exciting things happened in January!
I launched the beta of my 3-month coaching program, was interviewed on a podcast, and met some wonderful people who you'll be introduced to later this year as we lauch some pretty cool collaborations.
January was also a very strange, long, month. Not going to lie, it felt like whip-lash...going from the crazy hustle of the holidays then settling back into "normal". Anyone else find that bit draning?!
Here, on the other side of January, I'm beyond excited for what this year has to offer. I've brought together all VVA's been up to since our last email and have included exciting things launching later this month, below.
Make sure to scroll to the bottom and give us your input - if you do, you'll get early access to the free resources we launch in March!
Be well,

Free Mindfulness Resource
Our focus in February is on mindfulness for optimal performance and well-being. It's what inspired the live event highlighted above and the wonderful, free, resource we're offering to our VVA community.
We understand that the challenges of leadership and executive responsibilities can often lead to stress and a disconnect from one's personal well-being. Recognizing this, we've curated a special meditation bundle designed to bridge the gap between professional excellence and personal tranquility.
This exclusive bundle, titled 'Guided Meditations for Busy Executives', is tailored specifically for individuals like you, who strive to maintain a high level of performance without compromising their well-being. Each meditation is crafted to fit seamlessly into your busy schedule, offering a brief respite and a chance to recharge, refocus, and realign with your core values and goals.
Inside this bundle, you'll find six guided meditations, each focusing on a key aspect of leadership and personal growth:
- Integrating Your Professional Drive with Personal Peace – Discover the balance between ambition and inner peace.
- Mindful Leadership in Action – Cultivate presence and awareness for impactful leadership.
- Mastering Calm in the Corporate Storm – Learn to navigate high-stress situations with grace.
- Guided Visualization: Unlocking Creative Insights – Stimulate your creativity for innovative problem-solving.
- Cultivating a Resilient Executive Mind – Strengthen your resilience in the face of challenges.
- Empathy and Unity in Leadership – Enhance team dynamics through empathy and shared purpose.
Each session is a step on the path to integrating mindfulness into your daily routine, enabling you to unlock your full potential both professionally and personally. We believe that by dedicating just a few minutes each day to these practices, you can foster a more fulfilling, balanced, and successful life.
As part of our commitment to your growth and well-being, we're offering this meditation bundle completely free to our VVA community members. It's our way of saying thank you for your dedication to excellence and your ongoing journey of self-improvement.
Looking Ahead...
In March we're going to focus on how to embrace work-life integration for success. We'll talk about the evolving nature of work-life integration and share practical strategies for achieving a seamless blend of professional and personal life values.
I'd love to hear from you: When it comes to work-life integration, what would you find most helpful to learn? Are there specific resources you'd be interested in recieving?
