About Vanessa Loder

Vanessa Loder is a women’s leadership expert who has been featured in Fast Company, Forbes, Women’s Health, Glamour Magazine, The Huffington Post and several other publications. Her Tedx talk “How To Lean In Without Burning Out” has over 135,000 views.

In her previous life, Loder was a successful private equity investor who advised fast growing companies. She is a self described over-achiever whose unfulfilling experience of continual career climbing left her burned out, exhausted and eager to find another way.

Earning her MBA from Stanford and working in finance for almost ten years, Vanessa felt that she had climbed to the top of the ladder only to realize it was the wrong ladder!

After quitting her job in finance to seek meaningful work, Vanessa discovered the traditional career search was not helpful.

She began studying mindfulness, neuroscience, optimal performance, spirituality and behavioral psychology. Her personal transformation, subsequent research and work have led to thousands of women clarifying their next career move and creating success in an entirely different way.

Vanessa currently lives in Lafayette, CA with her husband and two children.
