I am Vered, and I’m not afraid to admit that…

  1. I used to believe that being in control was the key to success.


    I thought I had to have all the answers, to always be the one leading the way. I believed that if I loosened my grip, things would fall apart. But life has a way of humbling you. The moment I started listening more, trusting more, and allowing space for the unexpected – everything changed. My business, my relationships, my sense of purpose. Now, I help business owners step out of survival mode and into real, sustainable growth – not by holding on tighter, but by learning when to let go.


  1. For years, I tried to make myself invisible.


    In a male dominated work environment back in my engineering days, I wanted to be taken seriously, so I played by the unspoken rules. I kept my voice measured, my energy neutral, my clothing plain – anything to make sure my skills, not my gender, were the only thing people noticed. I thought blending-in was the way to succeed. But I was wrong. The moment I stopped hiding and embraced all of who I am – the colours, the intuition, the different way of seeing things – was the moment everything shifted. Today, I help others step into their power, not by fitting in, but by standing out.


  2. For years it seemed as if success belonged to the loudest voices in the room.


    The ones who spoke first, took up space, and demanded attention. But I always believed differently. And with over 25 years of leadership experience behind me, I know that it’s not the loudest who create the greatest impact – it’s the ones who listen deeply, notice what others miss, and think in ways no one else does. My strength has never been in taking the spotlight – it’s been in using out-of-the-box thinking to create extraordinary results. I don’t believe leadership looks just one way. And I don’t believe you have to be someone you’re not to succeed.


  3. For a long time, I kept telling myself “not yet.”


    I wanted to be a coach. I knew it, I felt it. But as an engineer, every time I got close, I found a reason to wait. “I need more experience.” “I need another qualification.” “I need to be more ready.” The truth? I was waiting for permission. Until one day, I realised that no one was coming to give it to me. The moment I stopped waiting and started moving – imperfectly, uncertainly – was the moment my dream became real, the moment I gave myself permission to be a coach. And that’s why I do what I do now. It’s never too late to go after what you love, and if I can help you do it faster, with less doubt and more clarity – I will.


  4. As a project manager, I used to believe that success came from careful planning.


    You set a goal, break it down into steps, and execute. That’s how you get results. That’s how things work. At least, that’s what I thought. But some of my biggest breakthroughs – in business, in personal growth, in opportunities I never could have imagined – came from the moments I didn’t plan for. The unexpected twists, the doors that closed, the times I had to step into the unknown with nothing but trust. And those moments led to things bigger than anything I could have dreamed or structured in a plan. Now, I help others balance both – strategy and intuition, logic and trust, planning and embracing what we can’t yet see. Because sometimes, the best things happen when you allow space for the unknown.


Now it’s your turn - What is one thing that you are not afraid to admit about yourself?
