My Journey

When I became a teen mom and experienced one of the most challenging times in my life, I overcame those challenges and became a first-generation college graduate. When I struggled with communication and connection with my teenage daughter, I founded a program and 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization to help us gain an unbreakable connection and helped many other families in my community as well. When I became an empty nester after ensuring both my children were on their own desired path to success, I became a certified coach, entrepreneur, and author.

I now realize that all the obstacles I faced in my life were preparing me for this very moment. The moment I get to take almost 20 years of experience as an authentic, passionate, effective, and results-oriented Information Technology (IT) leader and coach; over 15 years of experience in mentoring and coaching others as a nonprofit and community leader; and my strong desire to inspire, motivate, and uplift others for empowering YOU to turn your obstacles into opportunities to live the life you desire.

I was made for my purpose, and I am fully living into it. YOU were made for your purpose as well. As a result of working with me, you will be clear about your wants and the actions to take for achieving them, you will be inspired to take the journey that supports the life you desire, and you will experience support and positive, unstoppable energy from me as your motivation and empowerment partner.

Proceed through the Uncomfortable depicts a journey of overcoming obstacles and getting to the other side of your wants. Vonetta Wade, a certified professional life coach, describes her experience of becoming a mother at the age of sixteen and how focusing on providing a better life for her daughter led to her becoming a first-generation college graduate and having a successful career in corporate America. By sharing how she overcame her struggles and her most recent journey of experiencing internal growth and success after becoming an empty nester, Vonetta inspires readers to pivot from living on autopilot to thriving and being intentional while proceeding through fear, uncertainty, and discomfort.

This book is for those who are pursuing a better life for themselves; for those who need a boost to gain their self-confidence; for those who have become comfortable and seek the courage to be uncomfortable; for those who are on a journey to love and accept themselves; for those searching for their purpose; and for everyone in between. It’s like having your very own life coach to inspire you on your journey.

Vonetta Wade was invited to RMHS to kick off our inaugural monthly speaker series and she was dynamic! She was able to connect with students virtually during her interactive presentation where she shared stories about her life's journey to help our students "proceed through the uncomfortable" points in their lives. This was especially applicable during the current pandemic. The structure of Ms. Wade's presentation is conversation-like as opposed to her simply engaging in one way communication. If you are looking for an engaging speaker for teens, please consider booking Ms. Wade

On May 22, 2021, I had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Vonetta Wade. She conducted a Zoom workshop for Sara's House/Place. We are a non-profit organization that serves Metropolitan Detroit area pregnant women and teens in need of assistance. The workshop was centered around her book “Proceed Through the Uncomfortable”. I genuinely enjoyed Vonetta. She was compelling, intriguing, and very transparent. The women that participated were fully engaged and did not want the session to end. They had a lot of questions, and she was willing to answer them all.

If you are looking for a facilitator for your conference or workshop that will keep the women engaged and motivated, then I highly recommend Vonetta Wade.
