Success, to Vivian, means becoming the architect of your own life. She wanted to take her passion for people and business and turn it into a career that fulfilled her, and would enable her to help like-minded entrepreneurs back themselves to do the same.
That journey began with Typenest, her website development business, where she helped translate business owner’s vision for their business into a visual reality. But, after the initial freedom and fulfillment that came with doing things on her own terms wore off, she soon knew that helping businesses create their website wasn’t enough.
She wanted to help others remove the mental roadblocks that stood between them and achieving their goals; realize the immediate, actionable power they had over their futures; and provide the guidance they needed to find clarity and purpose in their way forward.
She wanted to help them build, realize and live their dream.
And so, Sette was born.
Vivian’s career began as so many of ours do – climbing the corporate ladder. She was great with people management, had the ability to untangle problems, and was absorbing all the ins and outs of business at a senior level. In the eyes of everyone around her? She was ‘successful’.
But inherently, she didn’t feel it. She didn’t feel appreciated. She was taken for granted. Her energy was spent building a kingdom for someone else. And it felt… unfulfilling. Quickly, she realized that sitting at a desk from 9-5 for something she didn’t wholeheartedly believe in, just wasn’t for her.
Problem untangler. Leaper of faith. Life student.

Meet Vivian
Because to be frank, there is more to life than to simply get out of bed, pay the bills, and wait for the weekend.
We say “no” to settling for the mediocre. We say “no” to living life on someone else’s terms. And we say “yes” to being our own life architects.
With the firm belief that we all have it in us and merely need the right tools and mindset, we exist as a collective that enkindles, empowers and uplifts so our ideas, ambitions and our purpose are driven forward.
At Sette, we are driven by the “extra-ordinary.”
What Fuels Us
Vivian's way of being exudes what it means to be a passionate and extremely caring business coach that you want around in your space. She is clearly able to identify what's working and what's not working in your business, and does so in a graceful and challenging way that inspires you to take action.
Vivian got to the bottom of what was driving some of my fears as a new business owner and did so in a kind, supportive way. I could tell she genuinely cared about my goals and concerns based on the questions that she asked me, as well as her willingness to listen to what I was saying without making judgments.
I have a clearer vision of what I can and should do from now on. She also made me feel like I could do this. I felt motivated and that the goals I had were reachable. She was able to pinpoint my hesitations and fears and address them.
I feel like I can more clearly articulate the steps I need to take next to achieve my goals. Working with Vivian encouraged me to open myself up to thinking about what I really want.
