VJ totes the kind of character anyone willing to breakout and
break free needs in our society today. She is unapologetically straight forward
yet compassionate at the same time, forcing you to re-evaluate the way you’ve
always viewed the success ladder. She was a recent talk host at our Women In
Tesla Lunch & Learn series, and her thought provoking presentation helped
us see where we may be missing the mark as women on a career trajectory.
Looking forward to initiating some of the things she shared and sharing those
results as my own journey continues. Thank you, VJ! -
“VJ wowed the GSK Women of Color in Pharma Group (WOCIP) with her 'Post Conference Sparks' talk. She provided a lot of insightful information with strategic tips which allowed us to leverage the conference information and differentiate ourselves by bringing value back to our company. Her presentation style was interactive, engaging and thorough. VJ is extremely authentic, inspiring, and funny, without even trying, which made it easy for her to connect with the audience right away. My biggest take away from VJ was the helpful Linked in tips and networking tactics along with her empowering message of going from 'helpless to hopeful' in your career. I recommend VJ to any women’s group or one that wants practical tips they can implement immediately to help catapult their career. In general, VJ received raved reviews, and we cannot wait to have her back in 2020.”
Thank you for the wonderful talk
you gave to Enersys Women in Leadership for International Women’s Day. The event
was extremely well-received by all. Here is some of the feedback.
"The presenter was very real and
had tangible advice for all of the attendees.”
“It opened my mind to thinking of things
in a different way and made me feel empowered to control the direction of my
life.”
“The speaker really resonated with
what most of us women feel. It felt more like a friend was giving the
presentation and really got the audience’s attention.”
VJ was simply amazing! Everything from her responsiveness during the planning phase to the execution of the sessions, she was a joy to work with. VJ uses her knowledge and experience in the work force to help others learn how to own your career journey by positioning your talents and sharing your career narrative. VJ utilized real-life scenarios of the participants in the session to provide concrete examples of how you can identify your super power based on soft and hard skills and how to weave that within your narrative. The tools she provided, including the Ultimate Career Leap Workbook, gave participants a way to identify and create a plan to move their career forward. VJ is engaging, personable, thorough and collaborative. It was an absolute pleasure working with her.
I met VJ through a “how to” session on networking that she
presented to American Marketing Association, New York chapter members and
guests. VJ provided clear and actionable tips and offered a new perspective to
networking. One of her suggestions that clicked with me is to remember that
networking is like bonding, similar to how you would connect with a friend.
When approached from that mindset, networking now feels less intimidating to
me.
