The Life & Leadership Accelerator

I'm Vanessa Calderon, MD

I was the ultimate hyper-achieving, ambitious leader. 

I graduated with two professional degrees, including a Master's degree from Harvard (because an MD wasn't enough).

I did everything to optimize every second of my day. Within one year after my residency training, I was appointed Chief of my Department, and was offered my first executive role as Chief Medical Officer soon afterwards.

I was also a mom of two young kids, which meant I was up working before my kids would get up and back to work when I'd put them to sleep. I overworked consistently and with pride. Even though I'd say my family was my first priority, my calendar was over-booked with work commitments with little time for anything else. Though I was hustling, I wasn't achieving the results I wanted in all areas of my life.

I knew there had to be a different way.

Using the tools I teach in the Leadership Accelerator, I was able to tap into new parts of my brain that helped me improve my productivity and do more with less time.

I'm still ambitious and creating big things, but am doing so with ease and joy. And, I now have more free time and mental space to be present for the people I love.
