"I had the pleasure of working with Vanessa AvRuskin as my executive coach. I found her to be very effective in quickly identifying areas to work on together for an overall shift in mindset in leading a highly productive and collaborative team. She has a very direct yet warm way of teasing out the underlying hurdles that may be going on internally at all levels of communication. I would highly recommend Vanessa for individual leadership coaching as well as large team dynamic coaching."

"Vanessa AvRuskin is an incredibly impactful coach! I worked with her bi-weekly for six months. She was transparent and thoughtful in our sessions, adding significant value by pushing me to think differently and providing great practical tools that easily allowed me to action our insights. Unlike other executive coaches I interviewed, Vanessa didn't focus on only one area of expertise (e.g., presentation skills). I would highly recommend Vanessa - each session with her was impactful and a lot of fun!"
