Momentum
An ongoing strategic sounding board for clarity and execution.
When thinking needs continuity
There are moments when you keep circling the same ideas. Mostly because you’re too close and involved to see the way forward clearly.
Momentum is designed for exactly those phases. When clarity is emerging, but not yet crystal clear. And execution has to happen alongside everything else you’re managing; work, responsibilities and life in general.
What Momentum is
Momentum is an ongoing 1:1 strategic collaboration over three to twelve months.
We work together at a steady rhythm to sharpen thinking, connect the dots and keep direction coherent as you build. Not through pressure or constant activity, but through sustained perspective and well-timed intervention.
I will help you:
- Examine ideas from multiple angles
spot blind spots and patterns that are easy to miss from the inside. - Test assumptions before they harden into strategy.
- Translate clarity into decisions you can actually act on.
When Momentum fits
- You’re actively building and want to avoid drifting or second-guessing
- You value having an independent outside mind alongside you
- You don’t need motivation, but perspective
you want continuity without turning the work into a heavy trajectory - It’s particularly suited for people with original ideas and strong intuition, who want their thinking to be both expansive and disciplined.
Creative Kickstart Session
Considering a deeper collaboration, but not sure what fits best?
In this short discovery call, we look at your context and what you’re building to determine which way of working makes sense, Oracle Session, Momentum, Full Strategy + Concept, or something else.
This conversation is about alignment and fit.
Oracle Session
Sometimes a single, focused session is enough to bring clarity and a fresh perspective.
The Oracle Session is a strategic sounding board where we examine your ideas, test assumptions and identify blind spots, creating space for clearer choices and new direction.
Well suited for experienced decision-makers who value clarity and want to move forward with confidence.

If you're looking for someone who can be critical, who thinks nothing is too crazy or weird, or someone without judgment: Vanessa is your go to person. Someone who can infuse others with enthusiasm, does not inhibit and can convert a creative process into concrete ideas.
I advise people in all professions who can't figure it out to call Vanessa. People trapped in a tunnel. Who think they have a helicopter view, but don't get much higher with their jumping pole to get away from the problem and see the opportunities that lie there.

As a starting natural wine maker in France, Loire region, we ran into difficult times in 2020 due to the Corona crisis. We quickly hired expertise and knowledge. And also the professional help of Vanessa. She helped us to set up and shape the 'help our vineyard' campaign.
We turned our business model from B2B to the consumer market in a very short time. In less than 1 month we reached our set goal; 3,000 bottles of wine are sold to the consumer market in The Netherlands.

Vanessa has a tremendously creative mind; she is a 'think different' kind of person and is also a very delightful person to work with.
She not only contributes ideas about the question that lies ahead, but also goes above and beyond to see in which other areas profit can be made. In addition, she does not shy away from pulling you out of your comfort zone or – in a pleasant way – confronting you with weaknesses or pitfalls.
During our brainstorm about Spoony, the 'question for help' was to think along about a specific campaign, but the outcome was much more about ensuring that the tone of voice of all expressions did not become too well behaved – a justified pitfall that she pointed out.
The great thing is that her brain stays 'on' even after a session. She continues to feed you with new ideas, relevant examples or current events and is therefore a lasting source of inspiration.
Jess
Vanessa has this amazing capacity to bring clarity to my business ideas, translating what felt more like spaghetti in my mind into a clearly structured concept within a matter of minutes.
She encouraged me and helped me bring my big vision to life, breaking it down to a short/medium/long term roadmap leaving me with a clear focus and actionable insights.
I can highly recommend Vanessa's services to any business owner or organisation, seeking clarity and creative guidance to turn their ideas into a concrete business or brand concept.
