Imagine having a team of competent leaders, confident communicators, solution-focused team players, and avid champions of your business...
ATTENTION BUSINESS OWNERS & LEADERS,
I'm Lindsay Vastola, a corporate manager-turned-entreprenuer on a mission to help business owners and leaders build businesses powered by healthy high performers.
Over the last 20 years, I've built businesses, led teams, and experienced first-hand, the pressures of wearing all the hats all while trying to hire, train, and develop employees to be competent leaders, confident communicators, and avid champions of the business.
As business owners, most of us became the "Accidental" Chief Human Resources Officer
and the Learning & Development Coordinator (among other titles!).
Frankly...most of us weren't prepared or properly trained for the challenges of hiring, training and developing employees required to build a strong, resilient business (and to avoid sleepless nights...).
But the fact remains, our people are the most important asset in our business.
Sadly, many owners and leaders are missing the mark, don't invest in their people, and don't know how to effectively hire or develop employees, resulting in employee burnout, resentment and quiet quitting.
And these blindspots are hugely impacting the bottom line.
Or, there are leaders who want to invest in their employees' growth and development, but just don't have the time or the tools.
(If you're the latter...keep reading!).
Let's face it...you're highly skilled and experienced in many areas (it's why you're the leader!), but there are certain skills you're frankly not equipped to teach.
And the fact is, you shouldn't have to! Your time should be focused on building the business, not figuring out new, creative ways to upskill your employees.
The good news is, you don't have to bear the brunt of it all.
In fact, most successful companies deliberately hire companies that specialize in employee training and development. Especially to train up employees on what I call, "Impact Skills."
Impact Skills are the skills necessary for employees to perform at their peak potential, but aren't necessarily skills you'll see listed on their resume as degrees, work experience, or credentials.
These Impact Skills include Emotional Intelligence (EQ), communication, decision-making, stress resilience, awareness, relationship management...just to name a few.
Impact Skills are the difference between:
- new revenue and lost revenue
- keeping a client and losing a client
- an engaged employee and one does the bare minimum
- a good night's sleep knowing you have a rockstar team and a thriving business, and tossing and turning worrying about your business
These are also the skills that are the foundation of a positive company culture that no one wants to leave!
Here's the hard truth:
Employees are too often HIRED because of their resume skills.
But too often FIRED because their lack of IMPACT SKILLS!
(think about that!)
I believe business owners need this employee development support more than ever!
This is why I've created IGNITE360.
I've combined my two decades of experience as a business owner and leader with my extensive training in Emotional Intelligence, communication, leadership, and workplace well-being to create a one-of-a-kind, completely immersive professional development program your employees will thank you for!
I've taken my most requested trainings and workshops I've used to train employees of small businesses to Fortune 500 companies. No matter size your business or team, the same principles make all the difference.
If you are a business owner or leader who wants to build your employees' Impact Skills and create a business no one ever wants to leave, I want to partner with you!
Let's empower your rising leaders and linchpin employees by upskilling these critical skillsets so that your employees wins, you win, and the business wins!

Lindsay Vastola is a New York City corporate manager-turned-entrepreneur on a mission to help success-driven professionals win at work and life as healthy high achievers.
After experiencing the first-hand realities of burnout early in her corporate career, Lindsay took the plunge into entrepreneurship and started her first business – a fitness and wellness company tailored for busy professionals. After 15 years of coaching thousands of highly-driven individuals – many on the brink of burnout – she realized that most did not want “work-life balance.” What they really wanted were more effective ways to successfully shoulder the everyday demands of work and life – without giving up one for the other. This inspired her second venture, VastPotential, a professional development company helping businesses and leaders build cultures of healthy high performance.
Lindsay has been featured in national media for her work, and is a speaker across industries, energizing audiences of all sizes with her out-of-the-box presentations and workshops on topics that impact all facets of work and life.
With an entertaining combination of relatable stories and simple strategies, she’s inspired thousands of goal-driven professionals to elevate their potential, win at work and life, and conquer goals that once seemed impossible. Her signature presentations include Habits of Healthy High Achievers, Trickle Down Leadership, and Better Than Balance. Her book, The Healthy High Achiever: A Playbook for Winning at Work Without Losing Yourself is set to release in Summer, 2024.
"Lindsay, this event was special because of the connections we all made with like-minded professionals who are dedicated to not only great quality of service but building their businesses and ideal life as well. This event was very transparent and sparked even more life into my soul on this sometimes very challenging entrepreneurial journey. Your expertise on emotional intelligence will bring life to the systems and make the culture part of any company begin to thrive and breathe a life of its own. I was amazed at your clarity and ability to articulate very abstract concepts in such a short period of time in a way that made practical business sense. This get together was a total win and had a family feel to it. I'd recommend any business owner in this industry take this meeting seriously and make the time for sharpening their mind, business, and overall life."

"Having Lindsay do her Emotional Intelligence workshop with our team in person was amazing. I learned a lot about myself but also my co-workers which was helpful and enlightening. It was great to see her work with everyone one-on-one while in a group setting. We had some uncomfortable topics come up that are often hard to talk about in front of others, but Lindsay made the space comfortable and judgment-free so we were able to really say how we felt and break thru some barriers. I would DEFINITELY do it again and recommend it to any company wanting to grow personally and professionally. Thank You Lindsay!"
