What if transitions weren't something to fear, but to master?

If you feel boxed in by a life that no longer fits—trapped by golden handcuffs, craving more but unsure what that looks like—let’s talk. Transition is everywhere. The sooner we embrace it, the brighter we shine.

What people have to say

about their experience with Lights on Consulting

“Coaching with Vanessa has allowed me to focus on each area of my life and set specific achievable goals in a way I have never had before. Vanessa is a compassionate and insightful coach who holds me accountable, suggests new ways of thinking about challenges, and fosters a safe space to discuss those challenges and a way to overcome them.”

NANCY-ELLEN, CHIEF SAFETY AND SECURITY OFFICER

"This was my first time using a coach and Vanessa was extremely friendly, accommodating, and helpful in explaining the process, the goals, and the purpose of coaching. My time working with her really showed me the value of a leadership/executive coach, especially for new managers, and I absolutely recommend it to others. Vanessa was particularly attuned to the culture and nature of the work I did and grounded our sessions by taking the time to learn about my specific workplace. Future clients should go with an open mind and trust her process - a lot of it will feel new and unfamiliar but Vanessa works to make it a safe, learning space."

JESSICA, CHIEF OPERATIONS OFFICER

“Coaching with Vanessa was nothing like what I expected. Vanessa has a style that immediately sets you at ease to relax and trust the process. Her approach allowed me to see how I was holding myself back and how much better I feel when I am my authentic self. At the end of each coaching session, I felt I had a plan on how to stay true to myself and address whatever challenge was in front of me.”

TAMMY, DIRECTOR OF ENTERPRISE INFORMATION MANAGEMENT

“As a first-time manager, I wanted to find someone who could help me determine my management style and coach me through difficult situations.

It was like the stars aligned when I found Vanessa. She is a fantastic coach; she takes the time to help you uncover the root causes of the challenges you’re facing in the workplace and supports you through them. She enables you to identify when your inner critic comes out to play and subsequently works with you to help squash it. Her approach is calming, reassuring, and inspiring.

I cannot stress enough how grateful I am to have had this opportunity to work with her! If you are a first-time manager, I highly recommend working with Vanessa; you won’t regret it.”
