Meredith Vaish is an Intuitive Leadership Coach, speaker, and creator of the Nothing To Prove framework, a leadership methodology that helps high-functioning women disrupt pressure patterns that stall growth.

After years inside high-performance environments, including tech startups and a 16-year career at Stanford University, she turned her attention to a deeper question: what shifts when capable women stop using pressure as their primary engine?

Her work introduces practical frameworks such as the SETTLE Method™, a six-step process for interrupting pressure in real time and restoring clarity when stakes are high.

Blending behavioral insight, somatic regulation, and strategic reflection, she equips founders and corporate leaders with tools that strengthen steadiness without sacrificing performance.

She also explores the human side of AI, asking how we remain grounded and self-led as technology becomes more personal and powerful.

Meredith speaks nationally on sustainable leadership and how to remain steady when stakes are high.
