Unstoppable and No Excuses - Journey from Adversity to Leadership and Success - Victoria Pelletier : 137

Because Everyone Has A Story - BEHAS

In this episode, we explore the extraordinary journey of Victoria Pelletier, whose challenging childhood transformed her into a model of resilience and success. Adopted into a loving but financially struggling family, Victoria's determination and her adoptive mother's encouragement propelled her to academic excellence despite her facing social exclusion.

Victoria, an award-winning executive leader, bestselling author, and professional public speaker, has over 20 years of experience as a corporate executive. Known as the "Turn Around Queen" and the "CEO Whisperer," she inspires and empowers her team and clients to change mindsets and drive growth in business, leadership, and culture. She broke barriers by becoming one of the youngest Chief Operating Officers at age 24, president by 35, and CEO by 41.

Victoria shares valuable insights on success, leadership, and work-life balance in our conversation, particularly in high-stress environments like mergers and acquisitions. She highlights the importance of confidence, physical presence, and authenticity in leadership roles and discusses how mentors and opportunities have shaped her career. Victoria also addresses the reluctance of some leaders to nurture talent due to fear and insecurity and how embracing vulnerability can foster trust and strengthen team relationships.

We explore personal branding through her book Influence Unleashed - Forging a Lasting Legacy Through Personal Branding and her upcoming release, Whole Human Leadership. This new book aims to inspire a shift toward more compassionate, heart-centered leadership. Victoria's journey of writing during a career transition, her passion for public speaking, and her personal anecdotes offer invaluable lessons on managing a modern workforce with purpose and profit.

Enjoy her inspiring story.
