HELLO, I'M VANESSA

My clients describe me as a creative genius, being their co-pilot in disguise. Helping them to bring their ideas into the world. Better and faster than they would do on their own.

After graduating from Nyenrode Business School, I have worked on the creative side of business for over 25 years. Developing strategies and concepts for all kinds of corporates, love brands, NGO's, creators and entrepreneurs.

But I felt the calling to work on a more personal level. With people. Where I can use my super power, seeing the remarkable in people and helping them to connect the dots to create a remarkable business concepts, or how I like to call it, their Big Idea

The Big Idea Journey is where I put my heart and soul in to make it an unforgettable and transformational journey. For all participants.

And that is also the reason why I am selective who is ready to join. Please sign up for the list, so that we can have a talk about your ideas and if you are ready to make it happen.

A selection of my corporate portfolio.

"I was grappling with a lack of a clear story and constant uncertainty about the main problem I was solving. It was frustrating to be caught in a cycle of doubt without a clear solution in sight.


During our stay, I had an amazing experience. It was a breakthrough for me in my business, reigniting my passion and bringing clarity to what I do. Emotionally and spiritually, I felt a deep connection and knowing.


Now, my horizon is bursting with possibilities. To anyone who is hesitant about joining, I would say, go for it. In just three days, you can accomplish what may otherwise take three months. Vanessa has the power to help you break through."

Godelieve Meeuwissen

"Vanessa has developed a step-by-step plan, the Superformula, and it works. It is so well put together that it is accessible to everyone, regardless of what stage you are in or what your level of knowledge is.

She explains all the steps and then you are free to fill it in the way you want. Whether alone in the room or outside, the location offered many possibilities for this. Or in consultation with other participants.

It was very uplifting to do it together with other (aspiring) entrepreneurs. Not only because it makes you braver, because you see others doing this too."
Marjolein Baghuis
