Women who have built high-achieving careers understand what it means to pour their entire selves into someone else’s vision. Many who balanced demanding careers while prioritizing family know all too well the compromises involved—often putting others’ desires ahead of their own. It’s no surprise that, eventually, a quiet voice becomes impossible to ignore: Now it’s my turn. It’s my time.
Veronique Gautier, a seasoned transformation strategist and mentor known to her clients simply as V, has made it her mission to support women at this pivotal point—when they begin asking themselves: Now what? What do I want?
Drawing from her own evolution through corporate success, personal upheaval, and a quest for vitality, V offers a proven, highly effective System of Transformation. Her work guides women through bold, authentic reinvention. As they move through the process, they gain clarity and confidence to launch what she calls their Act 2—a stage of life where being true to oneself is no longer optional.
The End Point is the Beginning
V works with women standing at a life-altering crossroads—post-first-career, post-child-rearing, often post-divorce feeling restrained in a life that no longer fits.
“They come to me frozen-in-time — exhausted, frustrated, even sick,” she says. “They’ve lost themselves in the process of life, and now it’s time to turn the tables and put themselves first.”
V doesn’t just encourage change—she guides women through a full-spectrum transformation that is strategic, scientific, and spiritual; personal-through-business.
“When we align who we are with how we live and what we do, the first sign is that vitality returns,” she explains. “It’s like unkinking a hose. Life starts flowing again.”
The 4 Questions to Reinvention: Clarity as Power
At the heart of V’s process lies her signature blueprint: 4 Questions to Reinvention—a framework that unlocks clarity and catalyzes personal transformation..
It begins with the question: Who am I now? Many people live through outdated identities shaped by cultural norms, old roles, or others’ expectations. V invites women to discover who they are today by identifying their Distinctive Natural Assets®, what is unique, authentic, and can be leveraged to create value for themselves. This identity tool becomes their first prism of creation.
Next comes: What do I want now? Beyond traditional goal-setting, V teaches the art and science of dream-setting through DreamBuilder® technology. This process erases the bounds of current limitations, circumstances, or conditions, reopening the field of possibilities and reconnecting individuals with their deep callings and authentic desires for a life they would love living. By practicing ‘coming from the dream,’ one begins to embody a possible version of themselves—leading forward from dissatisfaction into a life that can be lived now.
“The brain doesn’t distinguish between real or imagined experience,” she explains. “When we think and act from the dream, we build it into our reality.”
The third question—Who am I designed to be?—is often puzzling. Who am I designed to be? But here the answer appears by itself, as women naturally lean into the calling of their dream, and pass through invisible boundaries of old identity beliefs to become it. They experience aligning with their ultimate design, what V calls their Spiritual DNA®. It’s the ignition point where the trajectory appears and the momentum is activated. “Living by their own design now is what creates the fire that fuels the transformation into their new life,” V says.
The final question turns authentic identity into reality: What am I here to do, share, or give? Once women know the ‘who’ – who they are and who they are here to be – the ‘what’ becomes evident. Their Business DNA® becomes a direct extension of their DNA®. It is their most authentic, value-creation and decision-making tool across everything they do: career, contribution, or leadership. Am I expressing my DNA® or not? It informs everything they do and filters out everything else. They learn to use the power of the will to focus their energy solely on building their vision. That process frees a lot of energy, now available to live fully now. The framework supports individuals in dream building their lives in the boldest and most authentic way; hence the vitality that naturally arises regardless of age and walk of life.
Mentorship Grounded in Experience
V’s insights don’t come from textbooks—they come from experience and lived transformation.
Once a high-performing corporate strategist with the golden touch, she suddenly felt like she was failing at everything when she welcomed her child.” I added a family to my life, and everything wobbled. I put myself last. I supported my husband’s dreams, and I lost mine” she shares. “After my divorce, I wasn’t sure of who I was. I felt stuck in a life that didn’t fit. Everything was off. Then I got sick.”
That breaking point sparked her own reinvention. She combined decades of leadership with years of study in neuroscience, quantum physics, psychology, and biology, to produce her Signature method, called the DNA® that bridges the Art and Science of Transformation and Value Creation. Her Mentoring programs are principally geared at Women embarking on their Act2 and entrepreneurs choosing to create a higher level of impact: veronique-gautier.com; while her Consultancy, The BrandnaLab, is where she develops innovations focused on ‘Tech for Humans’.
From Burnout to Vitality: A New Definition of Health
High-achieving women often mistake stress-fueled productivity for vitality, and agitation for action. But V explains that true vitality comes from coherence. “We have to retrain our nervous system to rely on joy and passion vs. adrenaline to create energy.”
“We push through, ignore exhaustion, and become addicted to stress hormones,” she says. “Eventually, our bodies run out and we’re out of fuel.”
Her method focuses on harmonizing our entire system: mind and body, and brain and heart—a foundation for greater performance, higher creativity, and improved vitality. As inner conflicts quiet, energy begins to flow more freely. “Vitality is your natural state,” she reminds. “It returns when you start living as your true self.”
Redefining Success: Inner Alignment is the way to Accomplishment
“Success isn’t about titles or power,” V says. “It’s about expression—being who you were designed to be and sharing that with the world.”
For women who know they have an Act2 in them, even if they don’t know what it is yet, V encourages them to start inside and seek to create an inside-out momentum that identifies and activates their unique source of value, their DNA®. “Success has a sequence, and it always starts within.”
This is why, V explains, her ‘9-month to rebirth’ signature program starts with Identity, follows with Vision, uncovers Vocation and lands on brand-led Business-building.
Women leave knowing their Distinctive Natural Influence® and equipped to own it.
Vision-Led Leadership for Act 2
V refers to this next phase of life as a call to Vision-Led Leadership. The framework encourages a shift from striving to aligning, from competition to contribution—a redefinition of leadership rooted in full-fledged personal integrity. The gift is a renewed vitality.
For those navigating transitions, rethinking their next chapter, seeking more truth and more life in their lives, V offers more than insights. She provides a highly transformational process of self-discovery, where clients update and upgrade their identity, re-imagine what’s possible, crystallize their next Act, and dream build it into reality.
