She has various formal qualifications, including a Master of Business Administration (specialising in Project Management, Marketing and New Business Development), Certificate IV in Training and Assessment and a Certified International Result Coach, along with various others, including private courses.
One thing Virginia has experienced first-hand is that education comes in all forms...
Virginia is committed to giving back to the community, particularly to support others who might be struggling to get their ideas off the ground. And so, she was inspired to share her journey – the highs and the lows – and create the Dream it. C it. Do it. course.
Virginia is originally from New Zealand and goes back frequently. She has travelled all over the world and currently resides in Sydney.
A note on Confidentiality...
Having experienced an abuse of trust in business first-hand, Virginia takes confidentiality seriously. If you decide to sign up and particularly for mentoring/coaching, rest assured that any information you disclose in conversation, email or in general, is strictly confidential.
Virginia is the Founder & Director of Visual Intelligence Pty Ltd, which trades as Dream it. C it. Do it. She also runs iimageStock, a picture library site currently in production. Even in the world of AI, authentic, real pictures are becoming increasingly rare and valuable. Along with Vision Fusion 360, professional and personal coaching.
One of Virginia's businesses for well over a decade was Silk Attraction. Pure Silk & European Lace Sleepwear was developed, created and designed by Virginia and manufactured in Australia & New Zealand and was sold globally into retail stores, big and small and online.
After the Global Financial Crisis (GFC), when boutiques & stores went under owing her money, she then decided to mitigate the situation and close the business as the market at that time was not conducive to high-priced quality garments. Sometimes you have to make hard decisions in business that you'd rather not have to make.
