Interview Excerpt

Could you elaborate on how Vitamin CS Coaching was founded and discuss the initial vision behind its establishment?

Vitamin CS Coaching was founded with a mission to empower early-stage startups and small businesses to achieve sustainable growth and long-term success by delivering clarity, confidence, and strategic direction. After years of working in diverse business roles and experiencing the entrepreneurial journey firsthand, I witnessed a recurring pattern: many entrepreneurs feel overwhelmed, isolated, and uncertain about where to focus their limited time, energy, and resources.

The challenges are often multifaceted—functional needs like creating a solid strategy, crafting an impactful pitch, or scaling operations; and emotional struggles like self-doubt, decision fatigue, and the constant pressure to perform. These pain points can leave even the most passionate entrepreneurs feeling stuck and disconnected from their vision.

At Vitamin CS Coaching, we understand these struggles deeply, and that's why we’ve designed our coaching to meet entrepreneurs where they are—helping them not only identify what truly matters but also take confident and meaningful action. Our approach combines a clear roadmap for growth with empathetic guidance, ensuring our clients feel supported and empowered at every step.

Our results speak for themselves: international recognition through accolades like the Global Globee Awards and Bizz Awards, as well as powerful testimonials from clients whose businesses—and lives—have been transformed through our coaching. We’re not just here to guide you; we’re here to be your ally, your catalyst, and your game-changer in creating a thriving business and fulfilling entrepreneurial journey.

How does Vitamin CS Coaching help clients achieve clarity, confidence, and contentment to reach success?

At Vitamin CS Coaching, we believe that success is not just about numbers—it's about the deeply fulfilling journey of turning your vision into reality while feeling empowered every step of the way. We understand that entrepreneurship can often feel like an uphill battle—overwhelming decisions, constant self-doubt, and the fear of failure can leave even the most passionate individuals feeling lost and drained.

This is where we step in—not just as coaches, but as partners in your transformation. Through our personalized approach, we help you uncover the clarity you need to focus on what truly matters: the strategies, actions, and tasks that bring tangible, sustainable results. Imagine waking up every morning, knowing exactly where to channel your energy and feeling that spark of confidence as you see your business grow and thrive.

Our process is not about adding more to your plate—it’s about removing the unnecessary clutter that’s weighing you down. We help you work with joy and ease, so you can let go of stress and embrace the excitement of building a business that aligns with your deepest aspirations. Whether it’s streamlining operations, crafting a pitch that moves hearts, or conquering a challenging market, we’re here to ensure you feel supported, capable, and unstoppable.

And the results? They’re nothing short of life-changing. Many of our clients have experienced profound growth, from increased profitability to achieving scalable businesses. Beyond the metrics, they’ve rediscovered their passion, confidence, and a sense of contentment that drives them forward.

With Vitamin CS Coaching, success is no longer a distant dream—it’s a joyful, exhilarating journey, and we’re here to walk it with you, every step of the way.

How does Vitamin CS Coaching deliver value through its online and in-person coaching services?

Our mission is to provide more than just guidance—we deliver a transformative experience that ignites growth, clarity, and confidence in every entrepreneur we work with. Through our customized online and in-person coaching services, we meet our clients where they are, offering tailored solutions that address their unique needs and challenges. 

For many of our clients, running a business can feel like navigating a storm—confusion, self-doubt, and an endless to-do list often obscure the path forward. Our online coaching sessions are designed to cut through the noise, providing actionable feedback and strategies that bring immediate clarity and focus. These virtual sessions are more than just conversations—they’re moments of breakthrough, where ideas click, obstacles dissolve, and possibilities expand.

For those who prefer a more hands-on approach, our in-person coaching goes even deeper. Picture sitting side-by-side with a trusted ally who rolls up their sleeves with you, tackling real-time challenges, crafting strategies, and creating solutions that not only work but resonate deeply with your vision. The energy, connection, and synergy in these sessions leave our clients feeling empowered, equipped, and ready to take on the world.

But it’s not just about strategies and results—it’s about the emotional transformation that comes with our coaching. Our clients often tell us that they feel a weight lifted off their shoulders, a renewed sense of purpose, and a spark of excitement for their future. They no longer feel alone in their journey because they know we’re right there with them, guiding them toward success.

With over 200 success stories and counting, the results speak for themselves. From significant business growth to clear and actionable strategies, our clients walk away with more than just progress—they gain a renewed belief in themselves and their ability to achieve their dreams. At Vitamin CS Coaching, we don’t just help you reach your goals; we make the journey to success one of joy, clarity, and profound transformation.

How does the diverse and experienced team at Vitamin CS Coaching ensure client success and deliver measurable results?

At Vitamin CS Coaching, we pride ourselves on a team that doesn’t just understand business challenges—they’ve lived them. Our diverse and experienced team of ICF-certified coaches (International Coaching Federation) brings a gold standard of professionalism, ethics, and expertise to every client engagement. This globally recognized certification ensures our coaches are trained to the highest standards, equipping them to deliver transformative coaching experiences that drive real results.

From the moment we start working with a client, we immerse ourselves in their vision. Our structured approach begins with a deep dive into their current situation—not just the numbers but the heartbeat of their business. We listen intently to their goals, dreams, and even their fears, crafting a personalized roadmap that not only outlines the steps to success but also provides clear metrics to track progress every step of the way.

Our team’s diversity isn’t just about backgrounds; it’s about perspectives. We bring fresh, innovative ideas to the table, tailoring strategies that align with each client’s unique strengths and aspirations. And because the entrepreneurial journey is rarely linear, our coaches provide ongoing support, adapting strategies to evolving circumstances and ensuring our clients stay resilient and on track, no matter what challenges arise.

The results are remarkable: increased revenue, successful funding rounds, and expansions into international markets are just a few of the measurable outcomes our clients achieve. But the transformation goes beyond metrics. Our clients find clarity in their direction, confidence in their decisions, and renewed belief in their ability to lead their businesses to success.

At Vitamin CS Coaching, success isn’t just a destination; it’s a journey we take together. With every milestone achieved and every KPI met, we celebrate not only the growth of a business but the personal evolution of an entrepreneur stepping into their fullest potential. Our team isn’t just here to guide you—we’re here to champion your vision, empower your leadership, and help you build a legacy of sustainable success.

How does Vitamin CS Coaching contribute to the growth and sustainability of the coaching profession through its partnership with the International Coaching Federation (ICF)?

We are deeply committed to advancing the coaching profession. As a team of ICF-certified coaches, we bring the highest standards of integrity, ethics, and best practices to every interaction. Our affiliation with the International Coaching Federation (ICF) reflects our dedication to upholding the values that define coaching excellence worldwide.

This commitment isn’t just about what we do for our clients—it’s about how we contribute to the profession itself. I have personally invested in the growth of the coaching community by mentoring aspiring coaches, helping them build their confidence and expertise, and fostering their success. Through workshops and knowledge-sharing on business growth, I aim to equip coaches with the tools they need to thrive in a competitive landscape.

The impact of our efforts extends far beyond individual achievements. Every entrepreneur we guide and every coach we mentor strengthens the foundation of a profession that transforms lives and businesses. By using ICF-aligned methodologies, we ensure our approach is not only impactful but also ethical and sustainable, building trust and credibility in coaching as a global profession.

Our growing global client base reflects the ripple effect of our work. We’re not just helping businesses scale sustainably; we’re inspiring a new generation of coaches to dream bigger, achieve more, and elevate the standards of the profession itself. At Vitamin CS Coaching, we’re proud to play a role in shaping a future where coaching continues to be a powerful force for change, growth, and empowerment worldwide.
