Hear From Real Clients

"Personal 1-on-1 coaching really helped me form some concrete goals and objectives with respect to my family life and my career. I quickly began to see 'what worked for me and what did not'. Now that this foundation is set, I find it easier to make the decisions and choices that come across my path. Vicki brings a wonderful clarity to the coaching sessions, and although she has an easygoing manner, she never shies away from being bluntly honest. In fact, it is her honesty that was probably the most valuable to me.

I can’t imagine anyone not benefiting in some way from personal coaching, whether it be in their work life or home life. I feel that I have a plan now and I still refer to my ‘cheat sheet’ of notes from our coaching sessions on a regular basis to stay focused."

"I am deeply grateful to have worked with Vicki at different stages in my life, and each time Vicki has helped guide me to opportunities and achievements that are truly meaningful and fulfilling. Vicki helps me step back and gain perspective on what is most important and what ‘self-imposed’ barriers might be in my way. She coaches me to be bold, seeing life through a positive lens while remaining focused on what I most value.

Vicki’s wise, caring, and objective counsel has been instrumental in helping me find my dream job, be a more effective leader and achieve work/life balance as a busy executive and single parent. Vicki helps me have meaningful, loving relationships with my daughters and a wonderful relationship with my life partner. I know there will be challenges along the way but with Vicki by my side I have confidence that I can meet those challenges and more! Vicki is simply an awesome ‘gift to the world’ and I encourage anyone who aspires to fulfill their life’s dreams to work with her."

"After another 18 months of working with Vicki, I can honestly say that where I am now makes where I was two years ago seem like a bad dream. Even with having another child, changing job duties again to take on more responsibility, and managing through a global pandemic, I wake up with a smile on my face ready to tackle the challenges of the day. There is nothing anymore that is too much for me to handle on either a personal or professional basis and I’m excited to see where the journey takes me.

I recommend Vicki to everyone in my life and network and would encourage anyone feeling even the slightest bit lost or overwhelmed to reach out to Vicki immediately – this will not be something you regret."

"Vicki has challenged me to become a higher-level leader. She has helped me realize that I surrender my power as a leader when I perpetuate a position of being a victim in situations of conflict. I am now on my way to regaining my power and influence and am a more authentic, confident servant leader."

"I started working with Vicki because I saw a great opportunity to strengthen our team and to create a better awareness of each other's strengths. I really liked how she projected a positive framework from which to develop a greater sense of team and individual and collective strengths. This is the opposite of coming in as ‘You're broken, we need to fix you’, as so many consultants do.

Vicki is very positive and affirming, focusing on your current strengths and opportunities for growth and development. She was so optimistic and uplifting that our people were really excited for the second part of her training."

"Vicki is an extremely gifted listener and can discern nuances and hear between the lines. She is insightful and courageous enough to ask the necessary questions for you to advance. Sometimes you're unconscious of things, other times you are aware of them but haven't wanted to name them. Either way, Vicki helps you address it."

"I have known and worked with Vicki on and off over the past 35 years. Each time we have worked together, I have been able to overcome whatever challenge I was facing and move forward in my life with clarity, power, and confidence. As a Registered Clinical Counsellor, I know how important it is to keep my slate clean. Vicki is who I go to when I want or need to learn and grow.

My most recent challenge has probably been my hardest by far. Several years ago, my husband began to experience some very serious health issues. In my calls with Vicki, she kept observing how hard I am on myself. This led to some conversations about self-compassion – a concept I had never considered. My growth in this area alone has been a game-changer for me in what I am currently dealing with. My husband – at just 63 years old – has now just been diagnosed with early-onset dementia. Had this happened before discovering how to have self-compassion, I can only imagine what a state I would be in. Not only has this learning helped me get through all the challenges we have been facing, but it has also greatly impacted my practice and benefited my clients. It has been my saving grace. Investing in coaching is an investment in myself, my family, and my business.

For a coach who will walk with you through whatever you are facing and call you out (in a gentle, loving, and respectful way) when that is what you need, I highly recommend Vicki Fenn."

"I am so fortunate to have been able to work with Vicki for the past 12 months. She has been able to help me tap into my strengths and identify blind spots. Her style and ability to actively listen have been very effective in helping me to refocus some of my energies and reframe my mindset to see situations in a different light so I can respond and lead more effectively. My return on investment and time spent with her have been significant. I highly recommend working with Vicki as a trusted advisor and coach!"

"Facing dramatic growth in our operations with a very diverse team from all kinds of ethnic, social, and professional backgrounds, I faced a dilemma trying to fathom how to bring this new group together to sync. In comes Vicki, who helped us get to know ourselves better through personal evaluations, understanding what makes us tick under various conditions. The icing on the cake was bringing us all together during a three-day workshop. Through many exercises and discussions, we got to know each other and how to best communicate toward a common goal. The learnings will take us well beyond our little group and help us manage our internal and external relationships as we grow.

For my career, I have gone through various company-imposed self-evaluations, but none ever brought the learnings into context or, let alone even provided feedback. This last journey with Vicki was, however, an eye-opener. Vicki is a fantastic person; dedicated, passionate, composed, calm, direct, friendly, and fun to work with. She truly made this an enjoyable experience for us all. Thank you, Vicki."

"I invite you to consider engaging in the services of Vicki Fenn; I did, and her work made a strong contribution to the success of my department. I knew of Vicki's services while I was Director of Human Resources at BC Hydro, and heard really positive things about the results she had produced with some of my colleagues. I decided to contact her in the spring of 2008 for assistance with a project in my new role as Vice President, Human Resources with BC Lotteries Corporation.

I engaged Vicki to conduct a study for us to clarify the needs and concerns of our customers. Vicki was proactive in helping us to clearly identify our objectives and in determining the best methodology for the study. She listened to our concerns, provided valuable guidance for the process, and was effective in developing a plan of action which satisfied our needs.

I was very pleased with the work Vicki has done for us. In conducting the interviews, she provided a safe forum for people to candidly voice their concerns, which not only provided us with the feedback we needed but also offered our customers and staff the opportunity to be heard and validated. She conducted herself professionally, and not only provided comprehensive reports which contained valuable feedback for our team, but she also offered support to us in terms of how to accept and use the feedback in helpful ways. I am pleased to recommend Vicki's services."
