FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Leadership coaching isn’t a perk — it’s your company’s next power move. Coached leaders own their role, drive explosive results (7x ROI on average), and create workplaces where top talent stays and grows. They adapt under pressure, break down silos, and think strategically to scale the business. In contrast, stagnation, turnover, and mediocre leadership drain profits and momentum. Coaching builds the leaders who build the future.

Do you work with company budgets?

Do you work with company budgets?

Yes. I work with organizations of all sizes and regularly partner with leaders and teams to design coaching and workshops that align with their goals, scope, and available budgets.

Do you offer custom workshops?

Do you offer custom workshops?

You bet! If it’s in my zone of genius, I’m ready to build it with you. You bring the spark. I’ll bring the strategy, creativity, and edge to design a workshop that’s tailored to your people, your values, and your vision.

Let’s create something powerful—and make it yours.

What is the process in getting a workshop started? 

What is the process in getting a workshop started? 

First, we’ll hop on a discovery call to talk through your organization’s needs and identify the right workshop for your team. Once we lock in the workshop, pricing, and length, I’ll send over a digital agreement for you to sign. A few weeks before the event, we’ll schedule a 30-minute call to iron out the details and logistics—so everything runs smooth and strong. After the workshop, we’ll circle back for a 30-minute debrief to exchange feedback and make sure the impact sticks.

Simple. Collaborative. Powerful.

What is the process in getting a group coaching program started for my organization?

What is the process in getting a group coaching program started for my organization?

It starts with a discovery call. We’ll dive into your organization’s needs, leadership goals, and the type of transformation you’re aiming for. From there, we’ll customize the group coaching experience—deciding on the program structure, cadence, pricing, and size that fits best. Once the details are finalized, I’ll send over a digital agreement for the organization—and each participant will also sign a confidentiality agreement to protect the integrity of the coaching space. Before we launch, we’ll schedule a prep call to fine-tune logistics and get everyone ready to dive deep. After the program wraps, we’ll meet for a debrief to review outcomes, celebrate wins, and talk next steps for sustaining growth.

Tailored. Strategic. Built on trust.

Are coaching sessions confidential?

Are coaching sessions confidential?

Absolutely. As an ICF-certified coach, I’m bound by a strict code of ethics where confidentiality isn’t optional—it’s non-negotiable.

Here’s how the International Coaching Federation (ICF) defines it:
"Confidentiality refers to the coach’s duty not to disclose any information obtained during the course of the coaching relationship without the express permission of the client. The right to confidentiality belongs to the client, not to the coach."

In short: you set the boundaries. I uphold them. We’ll also formalize confidentiality through a written agreement before coaching begins—because real growth only happens when trust is protected.

What does it mean to be an ICF certified coach?

What does it mean to be an ICF certified coach?

Anyone can call themselves a coach.

Being an ICF-certified coach means I’ve earned it—through rigorous training, real evaluation, and a commitment to the highest global standards. It means I’m backed by a strict code of ethics, mastery-level skills, and an ongoing commitment to growth through continuing education and professional supervision.

Translation: I’m not winging it. I’m constantly sharpening my craft—so you get a coach who brings real experience, real integrity, and real results to the table. When you work with an ICF-certified coach, you’re not guessing at quality. You’re guaranteeing it.

Do you offer pro bono or discounted coaching?

Do you offer pro bono or discounted coaching?

One slot. One serious leader.

I offer a single scholarship spot at any given time—for someone ready to invest energy, commitment, and grit into their growth. It’s not free, but I’ll work with your budget to make it possible. An application is required, because real transformation demands real buy-in.

Interested in the scholarship spot?
I reserve one slot at a time for a leader ready to go all in. If you’re serious about doing the work and committed to your growth, email me at me@coachvanessayu.com.

Do you offer any free resources?

Ready to dive in? Check out my Resource Page.

Welcome to The Leadership Lounge. This is a space to slow down, connect, and grow alongside fellow leaders who care deeply about leading with integrity, presence, and heart.

This book club is for anyone in a leadership role—from new managers to seasoned executives, and business owners walking their own courageous paths. Together, we’ll read books that challenge us, stretch our perspectives, and invite us to reflect more deeply on who we are as leaders. That includes leadership-focused titles, but also fiction and memoirs that reveal the complexity, beauty, and grit of guiding others well.

More than anything, this is a place to be real. 

To share what’s hard. 

To speak about the messy middle. 

To ask honest questions, offer ideas, and feel less alone in the journey.

Our conversations will be rich, relaxed, and real. I’ll guide us through meaningful discussion. All I ask is that you come, having read the book, ready to share your thoughts and reflections. Bring your curiosity, your humor, your stories, your wisdom. Be willing to stretch and grow in community.

This is leadership development that feels like self-care. It’s time carved out just for you, once a month...to breathe, reflect, and leave feeling more grounded and more inspired.
