This week, Ivy Slater, host of Her Success Story, chats with her guest, Wendie Veloz. The two talk about how Wendie’s journey as a macro-level social worker and advocate, shaped by her years in federal and local government, inspired her to create a company focused on sustainable, scalable solutions that align business with community values.

In this episode, we discuss:

How Wendie transitioned from a government career to starting her own business
What kinds of clients and projects Wendie support
When Wendie realized it was time to work for herself and focus on impactful work she cared about
Why social impact is central to Wendie’s work
The importance of community and ongoing learning

Wendie Veloz is a social impact strategist, coach, and facilitator dedicated to helping visionary leaders like you create meaningful change while staying aligned with your mission and energy. My journey into social impact started from a deep passion for creating equitable, sustainable (and scalable) solutions for communities. With over 20 years of experience as a macro-level social worker, advocate, project manager, and strategist, I’ve seen firsthand the struggles leaders face trying to balance their mission with the realities of funding, leadership, and organizational growth. After years of serving as a funder and leader in the federal and local government, I found myself burnt out and at a crossroads. I realized that after the pandemic there are a lot of leaders that have found themselves at a point in their career where impact is the top priority and want to make change in their own way. I work with social entrepreneurs, nonprofit professionals, and business leaders to build sustainable, purpose-driven organizations through: ✅ The Social Impact Level Up Collective: A dynamic community for connection, collaboration, and leadership growth. ✅ Idea Surgery Sessions: Strategy-focused workshops that help leaders clarify priorities, solve challenges, and craft innovative solutions. ✅ Elevate Her Worth Events: Transformative experiences designed to empower women entrepreneurs to lead authentically and build resilient businesses. ✅ Executive Coaching: Personalized coaching for nonprofit and business leaders to amplify their leadership capabilities, foster team collaboration, and drive organizational success. ✅ Speaking & Facilitation: Engaging talks and workshops on purpose-driven entrepreneurship, energy alignment, and transformational leadership. I created Wendie Veloz Enterprises, LLC (WVE) because I believe that every changemaker deserves the support, tools, and alignment to thrive—not just survive.
