Quiet Power & Rewriting the Rules
You don’t have to be the loudest in the room to be the most powerful.
Join nationally recognized entrepreneur and strategic advisor Victoria, CEO of Encore Media Agency and Co-Founder of Strategic Executive Alliance (SEA)
for an honest and empowering conversation about what it really takes to succeed as a woman in business today.
In a world that often celebrates volume over value, Victoria challenges the myth that leadership looks (or sounds) a certain way.
From her early career as a designer at Ralph Lauren to being named one of Consulting Magazine’s Leadership Honoree’s and a CNY 40 Under 40, Victoria shares her journey of building businesses, battling doubt, and learning how to lead without losing herself.
Whether you’re launching something new or feeling stuck in the noise, this conversation will leave you with:
-A fresh understanding of how to own your voice (even if it’s not the loudest)
-Mindset shifts for turning self-doubt into momentum
-Practical strategies for showing up, standing out, and staying grounded.
This is for the quiet builders, the thoughtful leaders, and the women rewriting the rules.....You don’t need permission. You don’t need to shout. You just need to start!
