"I have known V.J. for about a decade now,
initially connecting with her through the National Association of Women MBAs.
While working at Panasonic USA, I was looking for a dynamic and authentic
keynote speaker for the launch of the Women’s Business Impact Group and V.J.
was on my shortlist of one. With her engaging personality, fierce intelligence
and no-nonsense work ethic, V.J. was the perfect person to deliver the message
that needed to be heard. V.J. Niles inspires people to follow their dreams and
always be in the driving seat of their own careers"
“It
is rare to find a speaker that shares content that not only sticks with you,
but can also be practically applied. VJ is one of those rare speakers. I lead
career development for a department of ~65 and VJ's presentation on succession
planning/career development had a few high-level takeaways that positively
impacted some of the work I do:
💡 Without a career ladder or a clear path for growth at every
level, succession planning will be overtaken by a scarcity mindset (I do not
want to equip someone to take my role because then where will I go?)
💡 Do not assume everyone is thinking about career development
and growth the same way
💡 There is a difference between a mentor, a sponsor, and an
advocate - helpful for leaders to frequently ask themselves, 'who am I
mentoring, sponsoring, and advocating for?'
It was a
pleasure connecting with VJ after the presentation as well. She is real,
honest, and hilarious. Inspiration that prompts action is one of the many
things VJ is gifted in!"
"
I
had the pleasure of working with VJ Niles, during a group coaching session
provided to about 4 individuals. She graciously accepted to provide a session
focused on What to do When Laid Off. She was engaging and provided one on one
guidance to the participants. VJ Niles demonstrated her vast expertise in
providing examples and more than enough tools based on individual situations. I
highly recommend VJ Niles as a coach."
