Exploring Life & Business with Roberta Vommaro of Roberta Vommaro

Today we’d like to introduce you to Roberta Vommaro.

Hi Roberta, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
Before founding two businesses, a wellness center and a consulting agency, I practiced international tax law in New York and Canada. This work gave me a deep understanding of the demands and pressures of the corporate world, and what it takes to build reputation and legacy in high-stakes environments.

Alongside that work, I have been practicing meditation and training in mindfulness for nearly three decades. My TEDx talk, Don’t Quit Your Job. Meditate., reached global audiences and established my reputation at the intersection of strategy, presence, and inner mastery.

Because of this unique positioning, a lawyer with deep training in mindfulness and meditation, my advisory work expanded across North America, Europe, and Asia. For nearly two decades, I have advised founders, senior executives, top lawyers, artists, and political and religious figures navigating high-visibility roles and complex responsibility.

This high-touch advisory work spans leadership advisory, executive presence, inner mastery, and personal brand strategy for individuals shaping the future of their fields, and forms the foundation of my forthcoming book, Magnetic Identity.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It hasn’t been a smooth road, largely because my path has never followed a single discipline. Moving between law, entrepreneurship, meditation, and creative work meant there was no clear roadmap to follow, and very few reference points for how these worlds could speak to each other in a rigorous way.

One of the ongoing challenges was learning how to translate depth into something people could actually use. I was working with individuals under real pressure, where clarity, presence, and decision-making have tangible consequences. That required constant refinement, stripping ideas down until they were precise rather than theoretical.

Over time, that process forced me to articulate my work more clearly and build my own structures instead of borrowing existing models. That evolution eventually became the foundation for the framework behind my advisory work and, later, my book. In hindsight, the lack of a predefined path was what allowed the work to mature with integrity.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
Roberta Vommaro is a private advisory practice working at the intersection of leadership, identity, and inner mastery. The work focuses on how identity and internal architecture shape presence, reputation, and long-term impact in environments where visibility and responsibility are real.

Grounded in two decades across international law, entrepreneurship, and long-term meditation practice, the advisory supports founders, leaders, and creatives navigating growth, reinvention, and high-stakes decision-making. Clients come when performance is no longer sustainable and clarity becomes essential.

What sets this work apart is its focus on freedom from performance. There is no fluffy coaching, no performative personas, and no branding tricks. The work is about dismantling the internal strain of trying to be someone you’re not in order to succeed, while still producing real results. When performance drops away, presence stabilizes, decisions sharpen, and impact compounds. Magnetism, influence, and growth become consequences of coherence rather than effort.

Brand-wise, I’m most proud of the integrity and discretion of the work. Engagements are selective and highly personalized. My forthcoming book “Magnetic Identity” distills the framework that underpins this advisory work.

Do you any memories from childhood that you can share with us?
One of my favorite childhood memories is discovering yoga and meditation as a teenager and realizing it was something I could return to on my own. I remember practicing alone, without any sense of performance or audience, simply because it brought clarity and steadiness that nothing else did.

At that age, I didn’t think of it as spirituality or self-development. It was just a space where I felt grounded, focused, and unmistakably myself. Looking back, that early relationship with practice shaped everything that came later. It taught me that real strength doesn’t come from trying to be impressive, but from learning how to inhabit yourself fully.
