Hi!! 👋 I’m Véronique.

Feeling stretched thin between work and life? I've been there.

As a former teacher turned entrepreneur and founder, I discovered something powerful: 
work doesn't have to consume your entire life. In fact, it shouldn't.

14 years ago, I took a leap from classroom teaching to found my first business where I help high school students excel academically, achieve top grades, and gain acceptance into prestigious universities like Dartmouth College. 

That successful transition taught me that with the right strategies, you can create a life where work integrates seamlessly - instead of taking over.

Today, I've expanded my impact to help leaders, founders, and ambitious professionals in their lives and careers.


What I Do:
• Help entrepreneurs and ambitious professionals build powerful personal brands on LinkedIn
• Guide professionals in designing purposeful lives and careers that align with their values.
• Share science-backed strategies for leadership, growth, and balanced living


My impact:
→ #5 UK Female Creator (Favikon, November 2024)
→ Generated 53+ million impressions sharing actionable insights
→ Coach founders and executives on personal branding and purposeful living
→ Built an engaged community of 81 000+ followers since starting last year in 2023.
→ Generated $1,150+ million in earned media value based on the $30CPM benchmark (Shield, 2024)
→ Publish "Linked And Lift," a weekly newsletter helping thousands of readers and professionals like you thrive

But it’s not about the metrics. 
It’s about making a positive impact on people's lives and on the world and designing a life I’m excited to wake up to every day.


How We Can Work Together:
As a founder, mum of two, and coach, I understand the juggle and the real-world challenges of balancing ambition with personal life. I have a a deep understanding of the pressures leaders face today.

That's why I focus on practical, implementable strategies that help you:
✅ Lead with purpose and impact.
✅ Build and monetize your personal brand on LinkedIn.
✅ Design a balanced life where work and well-being coexist.
✅ Gain clarity, unlock your potential, and create strategies for personal and professional growth.

Let's build something meaningful together.

You are not stuck. Your mind is.

Most people think starting over means changing everything.

A new job. A new city. A whole new life.

But what if the real restart isn’t external?

What if it’s how you see yourself?

We chase new opportunities but bring old fears with us.

Then wonder why nothing really changes.

True transformation begins with shifting the way we think.

Here’s how to reset from the inside out:

1️⃣ See Yourself Beyond Titles and Labels
→ You are more than your job title.
→ You are not defined by past mistakes.
→ Who you were yesterday does not limit who you can become.

💡 When you let go of old labels, new possibilities emerge.


2️⃣ Shift What You Feed Your Mind
→ Your thoughts shape your reality more than your circumstances do.
→ Upgrade what you read, watch, and listen to.
→ Surround yourself with people who challenge you to grow.

New inputs create new possibilities.


3️⃣ Reframe the Story You Tell Yourself
→ “I need more experience before I take the next step.”
→ “It’s too late to start something new.”
→ “What if I don’t succeed?”

🔄 Shift the perspective:

✔️ Every expert was once a beginner.
✔️ People reinvent themselves at every age.
✔️ Growth happens when you give yourself permission to try.

Your beliefs shape your future more than your skills do.


4️⃣ Trust Yourself More
→ Waiting for the perfect moment? It doesn’t exist.
→ No one is coming to tell you it’s time.
→ The only approval you need? Your own.

Your potential grows when you believe in yourself.


5️⃣ Take Small Steps Toward Change
→ Confidence doesn’t come first - action does.
→ Explore new skills, ideas, and experiences.
→ Small, consistent steps lead to transformation.

💡 A new mindset opens new doors.

👉 When your thinking shifts, everything else follows.

Most people walk into interviews ready to answer questions

But top candidates know how to steer the conversation.

Biggest mistakes?
Generic answers, missing intent, and not showing problem-solving skills.

Here are 9 tough interview questions 
(and how to avoid common pitfalls so you stand out):

1. “Tell me about a time you solved a problem with limited resources.”
➟ Mistake: Saying, “𝘐 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘥 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳” instead of showing creativity.
➟ Why: They want to see if you’re resourceful.
➟ Share a real example of adapting and delivering despite constraints.

2. “Give me an example of learning something new quickly.”
➟ Mistake: Saying, “𝘐 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨” without proof.
➟ Why: They value fast learners.
➟ Talk about picking up a skill, tool, or process under pressure.

3. “Tell me about a time you disagreed with a team member. How did you handle it?”
➟ Mistake: Saying, “𝘞𝘦 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘢𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘦” without showing resolution.
➟ Why: They want to see professionalism in handling conflict.
➟ Show how you communicated, found common ground, and kept the team on track.

4. “What’s the biggest mistake you’ve made at work, and what did you learn?”
➟ Mistake: Saying, “𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯’𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘰𝘧 𝘰𝘯𝘦.” No one is perfect.
➟ Why: They want self-awareness and growth.
➟ Own the mistake, explain the lesson, and how it made you better.

5. “Tell me about a time when you had competing deadlines. How did you prioritize?”
➟ Mistake: Saying, “𝘐 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘥 𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦” instead of showing strategy.
➟ Why: They want to see time management skills.
➟ Explain how you prioritized, delegated, and decided what to tackle first.

6. “Have you ever pushed back on a manager’s decision? How did you do it?”
➟ Mistake: Saying, “𝘐 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴.” They want critical thinkers.
➟ Why: They want professionals who challenge ideas respectfully.
➟ Show how you presented data, influenced change, and stayed professional.

7. “Describe a time you went above and beyond for a customer or teammate.”
➟ Mistake: Giving a vague answer with no impact.
➟ Why: They want to see work ethic and initiative.
➟ Share a clear example of going the extra mile and the results.

8. “If you started this job tomorrow, what would be your first 30-day plan?”
➟ Mistake: Saying, “𝘐’𝘥 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘴.”
➟ Why: They want to see initiative and role understanding.
➟ Outline a plan to learn, assess challenges, and add value quickly.

9. “What’s something about you that’s not on your resume but makes you a great fit?”
➟ Mistake: Repeating what’s already on your resume.
➟ Why: They want to see what makes you different.
➟ Highlight a unique strength, experience, or mindset with a compelling story.
