Developing brilliant people, brilliantly

VB&A helped us transform what being a leader means at Celsa…proving that leading for engagement really does improve team and organisational performance, whilst growing and retaining talent for the future. What sets VB&A apart is that they approach development programmes with the knowledge and expertise that no two people have the same development journey.

Victoria demonstrated a profound understanding of leadership dynamics and provided me with invaluable insights, strategies and practical tools to navigate the complexities of leading a talented team of professionals in diverse roles. Her coaching approach is both compassionate and results-driven, empowering me to harness my strengths and address areas for growth effectively.

She helped me to double and triple my self-belief with ‘safe-experiments’ especially when it came to building my professional network.

She’s the kind of person you want in your corner, guiding you through the challenges and helping you see the bigger picture.

I always come away from our sessions feeling enthusiastic, focused, confident and driven. Victoria is fantastic at getting me to answer my own questions with answers I already know.

Victoria coached me through a transition period. Victoria is extremely professional, always well-prepared, the goals and desired outcomes for every session were always clear upfront. She is also a really good listener and provided me with some excellent advice, both practical and how to approach the transition and my future professional opportunities at a high level. I would highly recommend her. I am grateful our paths crossed, and if faced with similar challenges in the future, I am glad I now know where to find her.

Working with Victoria has been an incredible and enriching experience. She is an excellent listener who not only understands but also provides tailored advice and practical techniques that truly fit the situation. I can clearly see the positive impact on my leadership competencies as a result of this journey. I am deeply grateful for her support and for the valuable learning path we shared. Thank you, Victoria, for accompanying me on this journey and for your encouragement, insight, and presence every step of the way.

Luckily for me, our business implemented Return to Work coaching and I leapt at the chance to work with Victoria. She gave me the space to voice my concerns, challenged me productively on the priority of certain worries, and helped me to navigate my return to work so that it was super successful and (dare I say!) seamless. I really enjoyed my time working with Victoria, she’s knowledgeable, empathetic and very solutions focused. After every session with Victoria I walked away with clarity and clear actions on how to move forward.

Working with Victoria enabled me to understand not only how to better motivate my team and help them to deliver the best results, but also to work with my own strengths and motivations to become a better manager.
