Dr. Vicki Vandaveer's word for her career is serendipity – and once you hear the whole arc, it is easy to understand why. In this episode of our Past Presidents series, host Daniel Ogunyemi talks with Vicki as she chronicles her journey through family, learning statistics over one terrifying weekend, pursuing a graduate degree, and the ebbs and flows toward consulting and coaching. She speaks passionately about the shift from a nomothetic to idiographic perspective and continues to speak regularly about coaching as process facilitation – helping people think, rather than telling them what to do. Dr. Vandaveer is a Fellow of APA, SIOP, SCP, and the International Society for Coaching Psychology, and founder of The Vandaveer Group.
