“It is my strong believe that leadership goes beyond roles, or a career titles. Leadership is a mindset and a skill that can be nurtured & developed. To truly lead a team and drive business success, one must first master the art of self-leadership.
I also believe in the power of cohesive teams. High performing individuals do not always make high performing teams. This is where I step in to assist you and your team in elevating performance and fostering engagement.
My own ‘journey’ consists of continuous education, years of professional experience in leadership roles, and dedicated personal development.
Using coaching as my primary methodology, I specialize in empowering company executives, teams, and individuals to unlock their full potential and achieve their goals. It would be my pleasure to support you and your team on the path to success”.
Companies spend billions on leadership and team development trainings, yet most teams still struggle with communication breakdowns, trust issues, and role ambiguity
Business leaders estimate their teams lose an average of 7.47 hours per week due to poor communication.
These challenges lead to decreased performance, missed deadlines, and burnout.
What is the real cost?
Lost opportunities, disengaged employees, heated arguments, conflict, misalignment, disrupted team dynamics, exhaustion, reduced quality of work, misunderstandings, unclear priorities, reduced collaboration… The list is endless.
The Numbers are talking
Globally, only 23% of employees are engaged and thriving at work, and this is the highest percentage since 2009!
59% of employees are quiet quitting (not engaged) and 18% are actively disengaged, harming their organization.
Middle managers are the most disengaged layer of a company. 75% of employees leave because of them, and the ones who stay cost the business an extra 34% in lost productivity and reputation.
60-80% of all problems in a company are due to clashes of values, personalities, and failures.
It is clear that organizations need different approaches in learning and development. Leaders need to learn how to lead in a way that makes employees feel understood and engaged instead of draining each other and suffocating the business.
We collaborate with forward-thinking organizations, managers, and team leaders who want to elevate their teams to peak performance, and we address these challenges on two levels:
Individual Level: Most people use 10% of their personality, and the other 90% is waiting to be unlocked. (1-2-1 programs)
Group/Team Level: High-performing individuals do not necessarily create high-performing teams. Companies want to create teams by combining different skill sets in people. 79% of their potential gets lost due to interaction gaps… that is not great for business.
We have proven solutions to dramatically improve both levels by expanding teams’ comfort zones and enhancing their behavioral flexibility. Our work is based on 5 pillars:
1. ASSESS: We use the latest solutions to assess and diagnose your leaders’ and teams’ pain points.
2. VISUALIZE: Awareness comes before change. We create awareness by visualizing the impact of these challenges on team dynamics and leaders’ results.
3. CO-CREATE: We co-create the goals and tailor solutions that work for your leaders and their specific needs.
4. GROW: On a regular basis, we collaborate for 3-12 months (upon agreement) to achieve sustainable results.
5. MEAURING PROGRESS & ROI: We measure progress, so you know the impact and the return of your Investment.

Working with Vaso has been transformational for me. Vaso has taught me frameworks to use when approaching challenging conversations so I can act with clarity and confidence, which has been both empowering and effective. She is warm, wise and challenges my ways of thinking and patterns with respect and empathy. I feel very grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Vaso and am proud to know her.

BBC StudiosMy collaboration with Vaso found me at a significant and unexpected turning point in my life. A chronic issue with anger management and lack of diplomacy often led to conflicts, where I would always lose my right. I believe that after these sessions, I started to understand how communication with others and self-control exponentially enhance the impact of a person with skills. Without these elements, no matter how right or intelligent someone may be, the result is disastrous. Coaching is essentially the beginning of self-improvement.

NeurosurgeonI was lucky enough to have Vaso mentor me during a difficult period whilst my father was terminally ill and when he sadly passed away. Vaso was extremely supportive and instrumental in my return to work and in my personal life. From running at million miles an hour caring for my dad, family and a full time job. Vaso helped me restructure, prioritize and adapt to my new life as no longer a career and encouraged me to invest to get to the best version of me.

Booking.comVaso Vardaki caught my attention from the first time I heard her speak. She is an amazing public speaker. She captures the attention and allures her audience with her witty, authentic and energetic presence. Her aura and tone of voice send a clear signal that she has something of importance to share with you. Something that is of high interest to you, that you wouldn’t want to miss. I have observed Vaso present in a variety of occasions and in every case you get the feeling that she knows and understands her audience well. Her themes are well prepared and strategically engaging, delivering concise and valuable messages.

Her experience stems from many fields (coaching, mentoring, workshops, facilitation sessions, etc) and this enables her to create and structure keynotes that will not only appeal to and touch her audience but also help it to formulate be necessary next steps. The fact that she is empathic helps her connect with an audience of few or many in a unique and unprecedented way.

T.C.Christoforou LtdI have had the opportunity to go through 6-months coaching journey with Vaso and I have to say that she has helped me a lot gain perspective and focus on my leadership career. She is an amazing coach that promotes the advantages of listening, owning responsibility of performed actions and always focusing on the big picture, aspects that sometimes are missed when dealing with day-to-day struggles in this role. I strongly recommend her as a coach and I believe that an experience like this helps contour the way forward especially because she focuses on practical frameworks that help leaders in taking action differently with perspective and the desired result in mind. It has been an honor and I have learned a lot crossing paths with Vaso.

What made our partnership great was both the consistency and the professionalism she showed.

I managed to have more quality time not only for my professional work but also for my personal life with my family. Coaching for me has been very effective and I strongly suggest to anyone who would like to bring change to their life or business to commit to it with a professional coach like Vaso.

EntrepreneurAt first, I had my concerns if working with a coach would meet my expectations. However when I made the decision to approach Vaso I felt I was in a safe environment that I could trust and work. My collaboration with Vaso was amazing! I would do it again without any hesitation! Through our sessions I have learned to set priorities for my business and for my life. I have learned to recognize my own boundaries, the boundaries of others, to go beyond my comfort zone with more courage and strength and to constantly evolve. My stress has been reduced to levels that I have now realized is a matter of seconds to manage the emotions that cause it and to feel calm and balanced. I have increased my levels of self-esteem and self-confidence and can make more correct decisions with a clear mind both for my personal life and for my business. Coaching now, is a very powerful tool that I will return when I need it. It completely changed my way of thinking, helped me live a more quality life and grow my business.
