Unstoppable - An Inspirational Talk Living a life of No Excuses

A personal journey of overcoming childhood abuse and trauma to ultimately live a life of #NoExcuses, becoming a successful Corporate Executive, Author, Brand & Networking leader.
Take Aways: Very motivational. Highly inspiring with hard won, leadership lessons.
Ideal for: Sales, Human Resources, Women’s Empowerment and Motivation.

Diversity & Inclusion – Intentionality for Inclusion

Companies talk the talk of Diversity & Inclusion, but fail to create environments where D&I is an integral part of the organizational culture. This keynote focuses on strategies that help organizations create a genuine, high-performing D&I culture. Victoria also explores unconscious bias, ways to address and educate employees, as well as technology that assists in Talent Acquisition/Recruitment using a variety of innovative solutions. Victoria also shares her personal story as the youngest executive in the room, at 24 years old, and the only woman.
Take Aways: Actionable steps on how to develop D&I strategies and tactics to move the needle, moving the conversation from talk, to measurable action.
Ideal for: Business and HR leaders/professionals, as well as senior management.

Future of Work in the Era of the Great Resignation
Look Up! There's No Glass Ceiling

An exciting #NoExcuses keynote on how women can achieve a limitless career AND have the personal life that they choose (It’s not, “family OR career”; It’s possible to have both – and more!)
Take Aways: Learn Victoria’s insights on how she’s attained it all without compromising: Family, career, AND outside passions and “side hustles.” Victoria shares key tactics on managing your brand, networking, negotiations, performance and boundaries.
Ideal for: Women - of all ages and stages of their career; very targeted to those in early to mid management.

Accelerating Your Career Through Strategic Networking and Building Your Brand

Accelerate your career, and your success, through strategic networking. More than simply sending “connect” requests on Linkedin, strategic networking is about building your personal brand, and forming authentic relationships that will turbocharge your career.
Take Aways: Actionable steps on how to craft a brand, start/maintain a network, and leverage that network for true success. Victoria also explores the surprising reasons why developing work-related personal connections can be difficult, especially in today’s highly corporate environment, and why it’s also a crucial skill to accelerate advancement.
Ideal for: Any client facing corporate audience (sales, client management, marketing), early professionals, front-line and mid level management.

Testimonials (5)
  • Victoria is a prolific speaker, whose personal story carries so much strength, that she leaves her audience breathless and wanting more. There is so much power in her truth, and he level of vulnerability is hard to match. She has triumphed through her adversity and continues to grow and expand her human as she experiences more and more of all that life has to offer. What tops it for me, is her level of generosity and willingness to help others by sharing what she can about her experiences that have made her successful. She is an incredible human with an unmatched passion for life and a magnetic personal energy that lingers long after she has left the room.

  • This review is in regards to the latest webinar session I attended where Victoria was sharing her experience and knowledge on Personal Branding. Victoria is so incredible in what she does and shares with everyone- so raw and motivates to produce results! She is spot on in regards to, " what we do, what do I want to be known for" and controlling the narrative around it! I get inspired overtime from anything recent I've come across from her and bring it to the board with other senior Partners- plus can't tell how much joy and inspiration that brings!! I personally have so much to share and learn especially around having your voice because that's what sets you apart and to never lose that. Victoria's passion for giving back while managing everything else at a leadership role is remarkable. I can't wait for any opportunity in future that I'd get to meet her virtually or in-person! Thanks so much for everything you do! As always, having a Full Fan Girl Moment, Arsh
