About me

Alison Vaux-Bjerke, MPH, MCHES, ACC, Principal at Empowered Presence Coaching, LLC, began her formal leadership and career coaching journey in 2022. She received her Associate Certified Coach (ACC) credential through the International Coaching Federation (ICF) in 2025. Informally, coaching has been part of her life since she can remember. She has always been drawn to helping others, be it through teaching, being an ear or a shoulder for someone in need, or at one point in her life, as a recess coach! Her coaching philosophy is centered on the belief that YOU are creative, resourceful, and whole. YOU are the expert in your life and I create an open and safe space to help identify what internal resources you possesses to achieve your desired goals. As a coach, I pride myself on being a neutral, but empathetic ear and helping clients identify sticking points to work through. I believe that authentic confidence is the key to thriving professionally and have coached individuals through time management and prioritization, self-advocacy, and action planning towards a goal. I look forward to continuing to grow my coaching practice in new ways with you!
