Vicki Ibaugh

I’m the owner of Know You to Grow You and a Certified Professional Coach and Kolbe Consultant. The biggest risk I took years ago was to step away from a job that was sucking the life out of me to search for what I really wanted – Work that was fulfilling, done on my terms, and that allowed me time with family and to travel. Teaching, coaching, inspiring and innovating had always played a role in my 20+ year career as an instructional designer (course creator), but I did not realize until later that these strengths were my secret sauce for success as an entrepreneur. When I first started out, because I was a newbie, I followed all the gurus and didn’t realize following the model of someone not like me was setting me up to fail. Over time I realized my greatest successes came when I honored my way of doing things. Today I embrace being a natural innovator, coach, and teacher, as well as my divine downloads that add a unique twist to everything I do. I love that I get to support other women entrepreneurs to discover their natural gifts and way of working so they can create (or recreate) a profitable business that they love. FUN FACTS – I love to travel, hike, and read. I split time between Orlando, Florida and Gnaw Bone, Indiana. I began my career as a nurse and nurse practitioner. I then spent 20+ years designing and creating online courses including courses for the CDC and Dept. of Defense.
