Vanessa (or Ness) has an amazing story to share, which she does with
humour, charisma, honesty and candidness.
She has been lecturing, teaching and mentoring people since she can
remember but professionally since 1992.
AS A SPEAKER: Vanessa shares her life story with boundless energy, drive
and passion, which she injects into her audience as she unveils the highs and
lows of her own colourful journey:
- born in Cyprus;
- raised in England;
- immigrating to Australia in
1968 (six weeks at sea);
- bullied at school because
she was different (English & horsey);
- fiercely defending her
chosen career path;
- global travel to pursue a
dream;
- a marriage breakdown;
- a partner with
depression;
- turmoils with gold mining
companies showering her roof with rocks (Erin Brockovitch equivalent!);
- achieving Olympic success
with the son (Irish Jester) of her homebred stallion; and
- developing her
property, Gold Fields (a real Field of Dreams
tenfold) throughout floods, droughts, fires, and locusts to host the Pony Club State Championships in 2009. This property
was then subjected to one of the worst environmental disasters in
Victoria, being covered with chemicals from nearby mining operations,
forcing Vanessa shut down, enduring a major Government investigation and
to eventually relocate and start all over again at Euroa
Horse Park.
As a speaker in corporate life Vanessa is best known as The Ness Factor. Her lectures and
presentations are engaging, entertaining and educational and highly
