About Me…

Hi, I’m Vicki Messenger - coach, thinking partner, mentor, and huge champion for women in business.

I am passionate about helping women to connect deeply to their innate strengths and true selves, supporting them to gain the clarity and confidence they need to live their most empowered, fulfilled, and indeed extraordinary lives.

But how did I get here?

I left education full of promise but lacking in direction; desperate for a career in the arts, but without the confidence I felt I needed to pursue my dream. It looked like I was on the road to a life of unfulfilled potential when my father died suddenly and unexpectedly. I was 19. This sent an emotional ricochet through my life but, ultimately, woke me up. It taught me not to waste another minute. I spent some time travelling in South East Asia and returned with a deep sense of knowing: I had to work with people and wanted to make a difference.

My Corporate Life

I began my career in recruitment and spent seven years helping accountants and finance professionals to find their next role. However, in the midst of the recession in 2009 things were tough and, on the verge of being let go for not meeting my targets, I left without a job to go to.

This led me to work for a market-leading global IT communications company, where I spent the next 10 years in various sales, account management, and business development roles, working with clients such as Sage, Avnet, Compass Group, Barclays, JP Morgan, and Deutsche Bank. Outwardly I was successful - meeting targets and incentives, progressing, and earning a great salary, but inwardly I knew that the job was not feeding my soul; I had become too far removed from my deep desire to help people and make a real difference in the world, and it was time for a change.

A Coaching Epiphany

In 2015, heavily pregnant with my first little boy, I had booked myself onto a two-day coach training seminar. Within minutes of the first speaker’s presentation, I knew that I had found it: my calling. It felt like I had found my way home and I have not looked back since.

Today I have two little boys and have since trained in Personal Performance Coaching, Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), team coaching, confidence coaching, and business coaching. I have launched, juggled, and side-hustled my business around my corporate job and two children, taking the leap to run it full-time in 2019, and I have never felt as connected to my purpose as I do today.

The juggle is real, but I now live a life that I create for myself every day and have a business that is totally aligned with my core values of people, freedom, and authenticity and that works around me and my family.

My Mission

It is now my absolute focus to empower other women to create, launch, and grow lasting and fulfilling businesses, because it is possible to do what you love whilst making a great living at the same time. It’s also possible to be a great mother, friend, and family member, whilst pursuing your dreams and making a difference in the world.

The key is having a strong sense of purpose, a healthy dose of strategy, a willingness to play the long game, and someone working alongside you to guide you and support you when you encounter inevitable doubts, fears, and setbacks along the way. This is how you reach your highest potential and live your most extraordinary life, and this is exactly how I support my clients.
