Voices of the 21st Century: Women Who Influence, Inspire and Make a Difference by Gail Watson

Veronica is pleased to be among the 30 inspiring women authors featured in the collaborative book, Voices of the 21st Century: Women Who Influence, Inspire and Make a Difference. We are at a defining moment in history . . .

The world is shifting into a new era, one with women ascending to the forefront as leaders in the twenty-first century. Within these pages, you’ll discover powerful female voices rising up to educate, guide, and inspire. Veronica’s chapter is entitled, Your Mind is a Gold Mine, and addresses the importance of mining your mind, your most valuable asset, and maintaining a champion mindset, concluding with an evolutionary poem entitled “Freedom.”

Behind each story is a woman bold and brave enough to have her voice be heard.

Veronica’s voice stirred something in the crowd — a spark, a shift, a knowing. After the applause faded, women came forward, not just moved, but ready to move. That’s when her platform became a pathway. Transformational coaching became the bridge between her message and their breakthrough.

Coach Veronica

Develop a Champion Mindset & Live a Victorious, Fulfilling Life!

“Are you feeling stuck? Unfulfilled? Are you silently suffering in a sea of shame? Or, are you simply ready to expand your awareness and elevate your consciousness to a higher level by developing a Champion Mindset? If so, I can help you do that. The conscious mind is powerful, but many underestimate or are unaware of the astounding power of the subconscious mind. Learning to harmonize the two requires deliberate engagement. Navigating through many adversities, life challenges, and wildernesses caused me unnecessary anxiety until I sought, studied and cultivated a Champion Mindset. The inner peace and harmony was so liberating! Coaching others on the technique has been my purposeful pleasure!

Whatever the challenge is that has you stuck, I can help guide you through a process of identification and discovery to uncover and unleash your greatest gift and power. The channels of creativity expand when you’re dwelling in a sanctuary of peace, purpose, and passion. Peace of mind is just one of the staples of a Champion Mindset. Other tenets enable you to be free, resilient, determined, action-oriented, energized, focused, and grateful. I would love to partner with you in your journey to design and live the victorious life you imagine. Life can be fulfilling as you rise to your next level of greatness! The formula is simple, proven, and reliable.”

As a Certified Life Coach, Veronica successfully helps women to gain or regain self-confidence, identify and overcome obstacles, as well as, discover their purpose. Incorporating life coaching was a natural expansion for Veronica as she mentored at-risk youth via the Detroit Compact Program and others throughout her life. The teenage girls she mentored were rebellious and outspoken, yet receptive to being mentored, which made Veronica’s job challenging and rewarding. “Being a role model and mentor to the girls was my absolute pleasure because I had an opportunity to influence and eye-witness their growth and development in real time,” Cunningham recalled.

The Champion Effect: When Transformation Speaks for Itself

Having someone who understands and survived a lot in life and is spiritual and has experience plus training, and the heart to help made Veronica’s coaching so helpful to me at a difficult period in my life. I for sure have a champion mindset. Thank you!

I didn’t think I needed coaching until I met Veronica at her Evening of Inspiration. After we talked I had a discovery session with her. I saw value in her insight and ability to listen and mentor me in ways I didn’t realize I needed. I highly recommend Veronica as a coach because she is patient, a good listener and insightful. I have made improvements in my life based on having a champion mindset now. I look forward to more.
