WHO IS THE LEADERSHIP CONSULTANT?

Hi! Bienvenidos. Welcome. I'm Veronica, also known as Coach Vee and soon-to-be Dr. Vee. Consider me your expert ally in workplace optimization, where I turn good teams into great ones and help people reach their full potential.

The Leadership Consultant is a boutique agency that provides tailored

Leadership Development Coaching for Emerging Leaders and Middle Management and Fractional Operations Management Consulting.

I've had the incredible opportunity to complete projects for national and global leaders and teams in tech, legal, education, engineering, transportation, healthcare, and non-profit.

With a background in business and operations, I've seen firsthand the transformative impact of aligning people's strengths with the right challenges. I'm passionate about people - the heart and soul of any organization.

I bring real-life experience blended with a deep understanding of the science of human behavior. This combination is powerful and helps me see beyond the surface, identify potential instantly, and create environments where people don’t just succeed – they thrive.

I have a reputation for crafting workplace cultures that are vibrant, inclusive, and forward-thinking - places where every team member feels valued and motivated to contribute their best.

So, let’s talk about how we can make this happen for your organization. Whether you’re looking to reshape your team dynamics, enhance overall performance, or redefine leadership, I’m here to guide you through it.

STORYTIME

I'm a straight shooter with a professional career spanning 20+ years. My professional experience is squiggly working with, for, and partnering with start-ups, SMBs, and corporations. My work ethic is scrappy, having worked across many industries and honing my earliest leadership skills under servant leaders in nonprofits. I have a reputation for helping clients get out of their own way to develop the mindset and skills essential to leadership - of self and others. My style of coaching is consultative acting as the bridge to help clients get where they want and need to go faster.

Obsessed with personal and professional development, I hold many certifications and degrees in English (Bachelor's), Organizational Leadership (Master's), and a soon to be Doctor of Business Administration in I/O Psychology. When I'm not helping clients grow, I'm working on my doctoral dissertation about the Gender Wage Gap affecting Latinas in Tech.

A few things I've accomplished:

- Reimagined employee journeys for a mega-diverse workforce. Result? More flexibility, more efficiency, more happy dances.

- My upskilling programs are like a caffeine shot for team engagement – 25% boost in just three months.

- Turned feedback into a fine art, smashing KPIs like a rockstar.

- Transformed toxic vibes into inclusive, emotionally intelligent utopias.

- 500+ clients and counting. They come, they see, they conquer.

CORE VALUES: Growth, Authenticity, Connection, Impact, and Freedom

SUPERPOWERS: Radical Candor, Authenticity, Identify and Resolve Root Cause Issues vs. Symptoms VERY quickly

NONNEGOTIABLES: I refuse to work with anyone unwilling to put in the work nor will I tolerate any form of toxicity.
