HELLO

In a complex world, individuals, teams and even entire organisations can lose their way.

Are you ready to lead the new world of work with confidence, courage and unreasonable ambition?

I’m Vanessa Vershaw and I specialise in the psychology of transformation at work.

I have spent the last two decades working with leaders, teams and organisations to be at their best when it matters the most and often when facing extraordinary challenges.

Through the intelligent and creative application of neuroscience, empathy, organisational behaviour and design and informed by robust evidence and psychological practice, I work with you to create the conditions for transformation and growth.

I am passionate about helping leaders make purposeful contributions and leave a legacy that lasts.

our vision is to connect minds, hearts and hands to create a thriving future for all humankind.

Because WE ARE THE FUTURE OF EVERYTHING

UNREASONABLE AMBITION

UNREASONABLE AMBITION

Unreasonable Ambition helps people do Extraordinary Things.

Created as a handbook for current and emerging leaders, readers will walk away with a new perspective and toolkit to face the revolutionary era we are living in.

“Vanessa Vershaw has written an excellent leadership book that is perfect for the times we find ourselves in. The concept of UNREASONABLE AMBITION is a strategy to help those with big ambitions to actually realise them. Backed with a solid framework, a depth of experience as a high level executive leadership coach as well as being a psychologist - Vanessa Vershaw has written an ambitious book for this powerful concept. A very enjoyable and inspirational read.”

- Andrew Griffiths, The Entrepreneurial Futurist

we help leaders and organisations reimagine their future, creating strategies and orchestrating experiences to thrive
