Dr. Velmarie Albertini’s Story

Who I am today as a woman, entrepreneur, leader, and family caregiver is influenced by my family. I am blessed to have many strong, confident, and highly motivated women in my life. I am also a product of my Caribbean heritage which taught me to embrace and respect people from all walks of life.
As a Certified Professional Coach, I practice with confidence, compassion, and courage. My skills include the COR.E Leadership Dynamics™ Specialist distinction and the Energy Leadership™ Index Master Practitioner certification from the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching (iPEC), which, most importantly, is accredited by International Coaching Federation (ICF).
What is Coaching, and What to Expect?
Coaching is a highly personalized, forward-moving, and solution-focused experience. It is different from therapy, mentoring, consulting, or training in that, with the coach, clients are viewed as the expert and leaders of their lives and circumstances. While therapy focuses on mental health and emotional healing, coaching focuses on setting and achieving goals. People who invest in coaching are investing in the opportunity to live and lead their best life. The general goal is to do just that.
The coaching process helps you:
- Clarify your personal and professional goals
- Take action steps that relate directly to your goals
- Achieve the results you want
