What impressed me the most is your commitment to research-based recommendations and solutions and integrating diverse points of view in your keynotes. You have to know your employees before you can motivate them. You really get this.

David Coletto

Chief Insight Officer, Abacus Data

At our 23rd annual TLOMA Educational Conference this year I had the great pleasure of introducing Vanessa Judelman as one of our guest speakers. Her seminar, entitled “What is the New World of Work?”, gave the delegates who attended plenty of food for thought about how our work environment has continued to change and evolve over the years, and why, and what motivates us to perform well and inspire others around us to perform well also. Based on the quality of her presentation and its content, I would highly recommend Vanessa as a motivational speaker and life coach.

Bernard Quilty

Vanessa teaches leadership in a way that makes you want to listen, learn and run off and transform the world. One feels empowered, invigorated and inspired to affect change within their team and network. Her approach is more human, and less corporate, at time when industry is craving authenticity. I highly recommend Vanessa. I’m a forever fan.
