“Veronica is one of the smartest and most gifted professional coaches I know. She’s fierce in her ability to assist others in seeing what’s in their way. She masterfully supports people in discovering what’s possible without their limitations, and then partners with them into their next level of growth and success. Her coaching is not for the faint of heart – she is both demanding and encouraging in ways most people have never experienced – and the results her clients get are beyond what they ever imagined. My bottom line is don’t miss an opportunity to be coached by Veronica Alweiss – it will be a game changer.”

“When Veronica and I met, I was at a high-stakes crossroads in my work life and sought the advice of an experienced executive coach. From our first moments, I sensed deep compassion in her as well as seasoned business intelligence.
While we initially connected over my professional life, our work together laid open other areas in my life that warranted a good look: finance, marriage, parenting, self and friendship. It’s possible that each of these could have been addressed in silos – or not at all – but together we spied themes (behaviors, beliefs) weaving throughout. We took it on. All of it.
Working with Veronica was demanding.
She was incisive, calling me on things others might not even notice. For instance, a side comment about salary led to an in-depth exploration of my relationship with money.
With her, false dichotomies were dissolved. At one point, Veronica encouraged me to blow up my mental model of pursuing two separate career paths – work that would feed my soul vs. pay the bills. Instead, I embarked on the messy, freeing adventure of meeting people I’ve had work crushes on for years and exploring topics I found fascinating but had punted, like information visualization and systems thinking.
Finally, Veronica is devoted and skilled. Equal parts pragmatic and intuitive, she artfully combined her arsenal of tools with her passion for helping me define and fulfill my vision.
On the other side of our time together, I’m in a job I love and that loves me back; it calls on the skills I most enjoy and it’s a role where I can serve meaningfully. I’m more deeply connected to the people and interests I love most in life. And, I’m newly fluent in skills that will allow me to continue refining and fulfilling my vision over a lifetime.”

“It has been invaluable to partner with Veronica for the past year and half as my executive coach. Facebook’s leadership culture is about getting better each day, constantly reinventing ourselves, and a commitment to repeatedly raising the bar — as an individual, team and organization. Veronica has helped me drive sharp focus on what matters most to me — professionally and personally, and I am forever a better leader because of this partnership.
Veronica has an uncanny knack of asking the simple questions, intently listening, and rapidly helping identify the 1-2 things that matter most. Every session is thoroughly energizing where we dig deep together on the why, what, when, and how of the areas to work on — and leave with clear outcomes.
I especially appreciated her holistic approach to coaching, her support in between the live sessions, and the wealth of knowledge and tools she has in her arsenal — from expert coaching on how to create agreements vs. expectations resulting in fostering high-performance teams to introducing me to the practice of Yoga Nidra in service to my work/life balance — she covered it all. I am also deeply grateful for her attitude of service to each of us here at Facebook, with whom she partners.”

People I have known all of my life are impressed and in awe of the accomplishments I achieved during my time working with Veronica. In two years of highly-focused, deep, challenging and rewarding work together, we tackled my big life issues and wants. As a result, I launched my dream company, deepened the relationship with my life partner and improved my health and diet. The path to my journey was not one I could have done alone and attained the same level of success.
Veronica helped me uncover my blindspots, own my strengths, and leverage both to take on the big challenges and successes ahead.The coaching was enlightening. I identified and owned my rote behaviors and unhelpful patterns. I could see why I made certain decisions and that I had an option to make new ones. I delved into the courageous work to do just that. I learned and applied powerful, real-time tools to accomplish what I want most.
Veronica is herself the best testament to what is possible. She challenges herself and practices the same methods she teaches her clients to get "unstuck" and move forward at high velocity towards your passions.
There is nothing impossible when working with Veronica if you commit to yourself and put in the time and hard work. Working with Veronica is inspirational. She holds her clients to their intentions for the end-goal of leading the life they love living — and she does it with a devotion to your goals, inspiration and warmth.
I'm so very grateful for my work with Veronica and the lessons learned along the way. I genuinely recommend Veronica to the individual ready to take an honest look at themself and achieve their dreams.

“I began working with Veronica as I started my journey as a new leader with overwhelming responsibilities. She coached me in my first year in this new leadership role. Veronica has helped me to create a vision for the team and myself, think strategically, and held me accountable for executing on the plan we set together. Veronica is open, candid, direct and bold in identifying opportunities for me to develop. What I especially appreciate is her perspective and approach to tackling developmental areas as potential strengths vs. weaknesses that I had to overcome.
I am still not 100% clear on what the role of a “coach” is…but Veronica comes pretty darn close to someone I’d want as a partner for self-discovery and leadership development in business and personal life. At the core, Veronica has made me a much better leader, and most importantly a better human being.”

“I was in a pivotal fork in my life and knew enough to know I needed professional guidance to help me navigate towards the results I was frustratingly unable to grasp through my own efforts. I’m a spiritual person in nature and knew I wanted to work with a professional who also spoke some type of spiritual language as I believe so much of our path relies on inner guidance. I consider working with a life coach as having an extraordinary dance partner – someone who can teach you how to dance through the variety of music you will encounter in your life – and that is exactly what Veronica did for me. Through working with her I learned to strengthen my thinking, move beyond my limiting perspectives and align my thoughts and actions to my heartfelt vision for my life. Above all, I learned to more deeply listen to and heed the wisdom of my inner guidance.
The changes in my life were extraordinary. On a monetary level, I increased my yearly salary by over 40% within my first month of working with Veronica, because I finally embodied the courage to declare my worth. On a spiritual and emotional level, I healed old wounds, which opened me up to a new way of being and navigating my life – I’m kinder to myself, I act more courageously on my behalf and I hold myself to a higher esteem because my purpose is so clearly aligned now.
I’m living my version of success today because of these cornerstones. I have since started my own personal development ghostwriting business and have co-written three books and just had my first book published this past year, with another currently in the works. I credit Veronica with being the perfect life dance partner to take the lead when I needed guidance the most. If you struggle with fragmented efforts and repeating old patterns and getting the same results, I highly recommend her.”

“As a top-notch coach, Veronica motivates you and supports you in having big dreams and taking even bigger actions. When I came to her I was stuck at a career crossroads. With Veronica’s help, I went from being unable to make a decision about what I wanted to having a clear vision, game plan and the enthusiasm to get there.
A few months later, I have not only met but I have surpassed my original vision – one that at the time seemed unattainable. If you need change in your life but you are unsure about how to create it, you need Veronica.”
– Damona Hoffman, Certified Dating Coach, Radio Host, and TV Personality
“I’ve been fortunate to have worked with several executive coaches during my career, all of whom have had differing styles and methodologies. While all my coaches have proven valuable, I can say without a doubt that Veronica has been the most beneficial to my professional and personal success.
All coaches listen and provide guidance. What I love about Veronica is she listens, puts herself in your situation, and then not only guides, but expertly assesses, counsels, mentors, and at times, pushes you to act and succeed towards your short and long term goals.
Over a sustained period, Veronica proved immensely helpful as I was leading a regional Asia Pacific team. In particular, she coached me on how to work effectively with a broad spectrum of peers and leaders across different cultures and regions. Further, when I transitioned to a venture funded start-up, I engaged Veronica directly to guide me through the challenges of working with limited resources. I can’t recommend Veronica enough to help anyone at any level to make a huge difference in one’s life and career.”

“It has been a transformational experience working with Veronica in the last year as my executive coach. We were able to discuss openly regarding challenges I faced every day and we worked hard together on my development areas. I discovered so much about myself through the process. Looking back at where I was a year ago, I could proudly say that I have grown so much because of this joint partnership.”
