About four months prior to getting into IGC Coach Training, VP and her family were homeless just three months after the birth of her second child. She was at the point of being fed-up with her life and her work, so VP hired a business coach who could assist in helping VP figure out what her own business could be (even though VP had years of experience running and helping other people build businesses for themselves). Turns out, that business was not only as a Life Coach and creative business mentor, but also included using her degree in Comparative Ethnic Studies from Washington State University to educate folks on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. VP was able to blend all of these things into a successful coaching, speaking, and education business to the point where she scaled up to six figures fairly quickly! VP also has a Certificate in Global Leadership from Washington State University, is a Certified Life Coach through Inner Glow Circle and has been featured in and by Yahoo Finance, NPR, MSNBC, Boss Babe, Girlboss, Vox, and Voyage Houston.
Roselle has always had big, creative, dreams and ideas that she wanted to share with the world however, she never felt safe and supported enough to go after them. She found herself in a job she hated and with a degree she loved – but didn’t know how to use. Roselle realized she was struggling because she was always seeking permission from other people. Eventually, Roselle decided to put her creative work out there – vlogging, blogging, testing out different business ideas – and realized she was passionate about being of service to other entrepreneurs that are changing other lives. She now combines her years of sales and marketing experience to help women gain the confidence and clarity to build impactful businesses. Roselle has a Bachelor’s in Psychology and Communications and is a 2020 graduate of IGC Coach Training and Leaders Rising. She also has an ACC credential with the ICF and she believes that life feels more purposeful when you give yourself permission to create whatever your heart and soul desires. To do this, you truly have to take ownership of becoming the creator in all facets of your life.

Now an ICF, ACC Certified Coach, Kendell specializes in helping people in transition, building confidence, and finding their purpose and passion through their work or service to live lives they love.
