“When you are working on your contest, it is hard to get valuable feedback to improve your speech that goes beyond adjusting the details. Vicky has the heart and soul of a storyteller. She gave me feedback that strengthen my message by enhancing the story. She demonstrated the connection my speech could have with the audience by telling parts on my speech back to me in a way that was more impactful. My hope with getting feedback, is not to just fixing my speech, it’s to become a better speaker. Vicky has put me on the right path to becoming a better speaker that can win the most important award…the heart of the audience.”
“At our recent “Fly Like a Girl” discussion Victoria helped draw out a range of ideas and thoughts by taking ideas and suggestions from the audience. She is an excellent facilitator, reading the speakers, reading the room, and coming well prepared to stimulate and encourage deeper conversations. I would heartily recommend Victoria as a panel or discussion facilitator. She prepares thoroughly, has a personable style, doesn’t back away from the hard questions, but uses velvet glove approach so no one is on the defensive.”
“Victoria has been emcee for one of our most important events twice now and she is fantastic. She really connects with the audience and is so comfortable at the mic that everyone sits back and listens when they’re supposed to and really engages when she encourages them to. She is also very professional and well prepared. We would invite her again without hesitation.”
“Victoria Trabosh was a phenomenal keynote speaker and conversation facilitator at the Women in ITE Workshop at the International ITE Annual Meeting in Portland, Oregon, in August 2023. The icebreaker activity that Victoria led was so insightful and provided unique opportunities to foster long-lasting relationships among ITE members. Ms. Trabosh commanded the room and left every participant with lasting impressions of how we can make the most out of conference attendance, emphasizing how we are all more alike than different. Victoria came highly recommended as a keynote speaker, and we were pleased with her passion and professionalism throughout the workshop planning and execution.”
“Having a conversation with Victoria Trabosh is like being hit by a lightning bolt. With her wisdom she ignites your passion and fuels performance. She is truly extraordinary.”
“I’ve been to MANY leadership and motivational workshops to further my direct sales business and people interaction skills. I can honestly say that your speech was by far the most inspirational I’ve ever encountered. It touched my heart not only on a professional level, but a personal one as well.”
“I so enjoyed Vicky’s presentation. While seeming to effortlessly engage the whole room with fun and laughter, she shared at such a deep level that I felt like I was part of an intimate conversation rather than a networking event. Vicky’s personal insights into leadership apply directly to a woman’s business but cross over into every other area of her life. I’m very glad I had the chance to benefit from her rich life experiences.”
“Thank you for the words and passion you shared at the recent Flourish salon. One insight that struck a chord with me: people reach those points in their lives when they’re ready to play in a bigger game; and there’s no going back. Your journey is an inspiration for all of us to rise up to those small (or loud) voices in our hearts and act: now, now, now!”
“Stretch your boundaries, expand your creativity, and most of all enjoy the ride. A partnership with Vicky breathes new life into old patterns. And, after 20 years at the helm, Vicky has taught this old dog some new tricks.”
“Before I began working with Vicky my business had been stagnant. In the first year we worked together my sales increased 50%, and my profit margin and efficiency skyrocketed.”
“Signing up with Vicky was the best business decision I have made in years. This investment in myself is paying off in every aspect of my personal and professional life. Her no-nonsense approach yields big benefits after each conversation.”
“Vicky is more than a coach; she is my trusted advisor… a catalyst, change agent and friend.”
“Victoria has helped me take my life and business planning to a higher level of success. With her executive coaching, I have been able to experience the power of identifying and understanding what matters to me, and to execute my plan with continuity and accountability to myself.”
“Thank you again for speaking to the WEO group last night. Your presentation was wonderful and I think I can speak for everyone and say we will want you to speak again maybe after your book is published?
We always forward the comments that are made on the feedback forms to our speakers and you will find them below, they are I am sure some of the best we have ever received.
Thank you again!”
“Just one phone call with Vicky helped me to laser-focus on some areas I needed to work on. She pinpointed important issues, gave specific recommendations, and was encouraging and empowering in all her suggestions. I highly recommend her!”

As a speaker, she eloquently expresses concepts and thoughts that can both be acted upon and used to take pause.

She was able keep me focused on my strengths, avoid becoming overwhelmed by changes, and see that greatness can only be achieved when we truly open our minds to radical ideas and challenges.

She is expert at helping clients drill to the core issues, adding strategic insights and guiding them to the clarity and perspective needed to bring about positive results. I consider Vicky a highly trusted resource when working through critical challenges in both business and personal situations.”

If you engage her completely and with integrity, she can help you chart your own course of action and purpose in life. Thanks, Vic.”
“Vicky Trabosh, as our career coach, works with us both individually and as a team to develop and achieve our personal and corporate goals. She does a splendid job teaching us to meld the strengths of our disparate personalities into a synergistic whole, and to have fun doing so. Vicky is such a pro that she makes this look easy, and we leave her meetings feeling empowered, validated, and ready to go out and make a difference. Yes, Vicky’s that good at what she does, and she’s that passionate about helping people to achieve their full potential. Thanks, Vicky!”
“Vicky Trabosh has a gift for bringing out the winner in us all. Recently, Vicky worked with a non profit arts in healthcare board I am involved in. Vicky had razor sharp intuition and a truly astounding ability to ascertain our issues very quickly. She helped us refine our mission as an organization and ironed out our flaws as a board. Her few hours with us resulted in a fundamental “shift” that is difficult to explain, except that it felt like magic. We have achieved great things since, even in this down economy. In 2005, I was making a major career shift. I hired Vicky to help me redefine my life, goals and new path. With Vicky’s professional guidance and infectious enthusiasm, I was able to craft a life that has brought me great rewards – financial security and a deep passion for what I do each day.”
“I first saw Vicky speak at a Portland Female Executives meeting. I had been invited to attend since I was scheduled to speak at a meeting a few months later. I was immediately struck by her passion, which coincidentally, was what she was speaking about that night. Her talk struck me so deeply that I left that evening determined to find out what my passion was and turn it into a reality. A few months later I delivered what is now a standard keynote address and soon-to-be book, The Permission Principle. That same night I had the pleasure of meeting Vicky and telling her what a big a part she played, albeit unknowingly, in my address! I can’t thank her enough for her impact on my work, even though I did not know her personally at the time. That is how powerful Vicky’s speaking is. I have since come to know her as a friend and count myself blessed to have connected with such a powerful, passionate advocate for change in the world.”
“Vicky and I shared the stage at the same event.I walked into the room and she was already presenting. I sat down and soon found myself caught up in her words and presentation style. She was one of the most authentic speakers I have run into a VERY long time. She was concise, warm and provided a wide range of tools to the group that were so practical. She was believable because she had real stories to back up her statements. No question you got the sense she knew what she was talking about. A two-hour conversation after our presentations made understand that this woman walks her talk. She’s real and she’s fun!”
“Passionate, articulate, brilliant and funny, Vicky Trabosh is an amazing woman. She is a powerful speaker who shares from the heart in a way that touches deeply. She has a clear focus on her life purpose and is extremely generous in guiding and inspiring others to find theirs as well. Vicky has been an inspiration and her spot-on guidance and support have truly been life changing.”
“I have worked in law enforcement and private investigations for over 25 years. I have led a life in which I believed I had met just about any person you could meet in a lifetime…until I had the privilege of meeting Vicky. If you have not yet had the pleasure of meeting, or hiring Vicky Trabosh for your business needs, I strongly encourage anyone to take advantage of her skills and ability to change your life. You will not be disappointed!”
“It’s simple. Victoria is one of the most savvy, inspiring, and entertaining people I have ever known–from her compassionate work to enable Rwandan women, to her pep-talks for friends and clients. Do not miss your chance to know this woman!”
“Vicky is not kidding when she says she is drop dead serious about making a difference in the world. She is! Her energy is contagious. Who she is oozes out and leaves you better for it. Her direct no nonsense insights wrapped up in plenty of funny stories leave you inspired and ready to make changes to be your own personal best. Thanks Vicky, for being you!”
“When your dreams take flight, do they cross international waters; do they land in countries away from home? Victoria inspires others by living her dreams. Just by encouraging us all to “Pay it Forward” she is contributing to the growth of a country (Rwanda) one brick at a time. Victoria has now seen her dream grow three years old. It continues to make an impact on people… those who give and those propelled forward by the impact of the contributions. I have hosted and attended events with Vicky, she is an amazing motivational speaker/organizer/world changer. Her stories can carry you to another place and they constantly challenge you and add wings to your dreams. I recommend Vicky to anyone who wants to see the extraordinary in the world.”
“I have know Vicky for many years and have always been impressed with her drive, enthusiasm and passion for helping others. Only until she became my Executive Coach did I really understand how all of those attributes (and many more!) would help me embark on my new career. It has been truly a pleasure working with her and having her help me discover ways to succeed in my business that I never thought possible. I enthusiastically and highly recommend Victoria Trabosh as an Executive Coach. If you want to really MOVE in your career and in your life, give her a call and don’t delay!!!”
“Vicky spoke at our institution in Rwanda in 2006. Our staff were extremely motivated and deeply touched by her message and her outreach.”
“I met Vicky as she was developing her executive coaching business in 2003. It was a joy to create her brand identity and marketing materials. Vicky is one of the most passionate, clear-minded and decisive people I’ve ever had the pleasure to know. Her insights and warm heart lend a gentle yet powerful tone to everything she does. It is inspiring to work with her and see how many lives she touches in such a positive way.”
“Inspiring. Articulate. Deeply passionate. Hilarious. Creative. Eminently professional. I could go on for days about wonder that is Vicky Trabosh, but she is someone best experienced first hand. Imagine the best of Yoda, Madeline Albright and Barbara Stanwick in one fabulous package. She was and continues to be one of my all-time favorite clients, and has been a transformative force in my professional career.”
“In composing an endorsement for any individual that has so much to offer, it helps to try to jot down a few words and ideas that come to mind. As I look back over the years I have known Vicki Trabosh, words like good, and professional are not sufficient to convey the real benefit from working with her. She helps define the broader questions that we all need to answer about personal self-worth, personal direction and our own goals. There are times where a pragmatic straightforward assessment of our direction, and abilities, coupled with personal accountability for growth and a dose of encouragement are very beneficial. Vicki provides exactly that in a no-nonsense, intelligent and encouraging way.”
