Welcome back to another episode of Profits Unleashed, where I inspire coaches and consultants to use podcasting—both as guests and as hosts—to grow their business with authority, impact, and authenticity.

In this episode, I’m joined by the one they call The Turnaround Queen and the CEO Whisperer, Victoria Pelletier. Victoria is a corporate executive, board director, keynote speaker, TEDx speaker, globally recognised DEI advocate, and the #1 bestselling author of The Power of Whole Human Leadership. With over 25 years of experience leading large-scale business transformations, this conversation is powerful, honest, and deeply insightful.

Victoria shares her non-traditional journey into the corporate world—starting in banking while planning for law school, and quickly realising she thrived in leadership and complex environments. What stood out to me most is how clearly she articulated that transformation isn’t just about fixing numbers—it’s about leadership, accountability, and trust.

We dive into what really holds businesses back, and time and time again, it comes down to people. Victoria doesn’t shy away from the hard truths: loyalty can sometimes disguise fear of making difficult decisions, and leaders must ensure the right people are in the right roles for the current stage of the business. Culture, she reminds us, is a by-product of leadership behaviour—not a buzzword.

We also explore the evolving role of AI, and I loved Victoria’s grounded take. AI isn’t about replacing humans—it’s about elevating them. The future belongs to organisations that combine technology with human power skills like problem-solving, storytelling, and emotional intelligence.

Victoria also shares how building a strong personal brand led to one of her biggest wins—being invited to open a TEDx event on resilience—proof that consistency, authenticity, and visibility truly compound over time.

This episode is a masterclass in leadership, transformation, and telling the truth with integrity.
