I am an author, scriptwriter & speaker I write character-driven drama stories focusing on women and the challenges they face in today’s society.
In my work, I focus on bringing kindness and positivity into the world. I am the co-founder of Open Circles Academy, located in Amsterdam. I have worked with more than 150,000 people and have written several books on motivation and relationships. My book, “Financial Independence for Women” has sold more than 50,000 copies.
In 2010 Vered was awarded the TIAW World of Difference Award, an award given to women whose efforts have advanced the economic empowerment of women locally, regionally or worldwide.
I’ve been an archaeologist, a top manager in high-tech companies and health institutions and, for nearly 30 years, a personal coach, trainer, and motivational speaker while owning and running the fastest-growing training centre for entrepreneurs in The Netherlands.
But after doing all that, I came to realise that I’m not growing anymore. I still had more things I wanted to learn and develop, which is how I came to challenge myself with a new career as a writer. Being heavily dyslexic, as a non-native English speaker, writing novels or scripts seemed like a Mission Impossible for me. Add to it years of non-supportive beliefs that I’m bad at writing and that I am not creative enough, and that sounded like a good challenge to tackle and grow through.
Since I started on this journey in 2017, I’ve written 4 movies and TV scripts, 2 novels, and I am now developing a TV series and writing my 3rd novel.
