If We've Never Met Before 👋🏽 Hi, I’m Vanessa.
CA(SA). Speaker. Coach.
Founder & Host of the You Belong in the Room Live Workshop
As a qualified Chartered Accountant (CA), I know what it means to tick every box on paper and still feel like your voice doesn’t carry in the room.
I started in external auditing, moved into banking, and quickly realised that technical skill alone won’t get you promoted, but how you communicate will.
I help mid-to-senior-level professionals, especially in finance, law, and healthcare, shift how they show up, so they stop shrinking in meetings and start speaking like the leaders they are.
My approach blends mindset work, self-advocacy, and practical tools that actually work in corporate spaces. It’s not about fake confidence or loud voices; it’s about clarity, structure, and owning your presence.
At the You Belong in the Room Live Workshop I’ll bring that same energy, tools, and tough-love clarity to help you stop second-guessing and start showing up like the decision-maker you already are.
Why You Need to Be in the Room
You’re smart. You work hard. You’ve earned your seat. But still, you’re not being heard the way you should be.
Maybe you’ve asked yourself:
Why do I freeze up in interviews even when I know my stuff?
Why do my ideas land flat in meetings?
How do I speak up without sounding defensive or unsure?
How do I communicate like someone who belongs in leadership?
This live workshop is where you finally get real answers, honest feedback, and tools that work in the rooms you’re walking into.
Shift how you show up, speak up, and get seen as someone with weight and presence.
Work with a coach who gets it, practise in a safe room, and walk away visibly more confident with a voice people can’t ignore.
This is your space to speak and be heard.
Here’s what’s included:
Seats are limited, once they’re gone, they’re gone. This is a paid ticket and is non-refundable.
A professional LinkedIn headshot taken on the day, so you walk away with a visual identity that reflects your next-level voice, presence, and positioning.
Live coaching from Vanessa, tailored feedback on how you speak, structure your points, and carry yourself so you can shift how you're perceived in just one session.
Before-and-after speaking moment where you’ll speak once, receive coaching, and speak again. You’ll see and feel the change, and so will everyone else in the room.
A small, focused group, we’re capping it at 40 people, so you’re not lost in a crowd. You’ll get personal attention, support, and a safe space to practise and grow.
Communication tools that actually work! You’ll leave with practical frameworks you can use in meetings, interviews, presentations, and even tough conversations.
If you’ve ever wished someone could just help you say what’s in your head more clearly, if you’ve ever walked out of a meeting thinking, “I should’ve said that differently,” , this is the room you need to be in. You’ve got to be in the room to receive the full experience.
Don’t leave your voice on pause for another year.
