 “I first saw Vicky speak at a Portland Female Executives meeting.  I was immediately struck by her passion.  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. 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.”  Sari de la Motte, Owner, Nonverbal Solutions

“Vicky Trabosh has a gift for bringing out the winner in us all. Recently, she worked with a nonprofit art in healthcare board I am involved in. With her razor sharp intuition and a truly astounding ability to ascertain our issues, she very quickly helped us refine our mission as an organization and ironed out our flaws as a board. Just a 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.” Janelle Fendall Baglien

 ”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!” Kathy Condon , Executive Coach, Speaker and Trainer
