“My team and I engaged Vicky to help us move beyond the typical marketing team and to truly excel as leaders in our field. Vicky has been able to understand our University, each of our team members, and the challenges we need to overcome with ease and poise. Her ability to challenge, coach and engage people is second-to-none – which is why within just one week of our first session we felt and saw a notable difference in how the team were operating.
