In today’s episode of the Tranquil Awakenings Podcast, Debbie will be in conversation with Vanya Mander who is a Leadership Development and Transformation Coach who is passionate about helping people become better communicators and leaders by increasing their emotional and social intelligence as a first step.
Growing up, Vanya loved learning different languages. As she developed this skill, she became fascinated with people, learning about their different perspectives and ways of living. As her professional career developed into adulthood within various corporate roles, she began a journey of self-discovery, igniting her passion to support others with their growth.

BEST MOMENTS
- “And for me, it was really learning those languages, it gave me exposure to more people. I was able to communicate with more people, to discover how they think, how they live, their perspectives.”
- “I guess what led me into, you know, like coaching throughout my journey was really that desire to explore and to explore people in particular.”
- The first step, I believe, was a workshop I was lucky to attend from work, which was discovering your purpose and then I really reflected deeper, dipping into my childhood, into my crucial moments in life, into my strengths.”
- “It's a massive change. That really helps you being resilient because you can always get back to that purpose. And it kind of supports you and drives you.”
- When, a firefly is at threat, the light is off. And actually, when other fireflies help her, the light comes back on. And so, my idea is developing our inner strengths, our resilience to switch on our light. And if sometimes it's difficult, allowing other people, or other fireflies to continue with the metaphor, to actually inspire us. And so, it's all about for me, inspiring each other so that we continue to be in that field of fireflies.”
