In this episode of Breakthrough Innovation, we’re joined by Victoria Pelletier, known as the “Turnaround Queen” and “CEO Whisperer” — a former COO at 24, president by 35, and CEO by 41. She’s led 40+ transformations and has the scars (and stories) to show for it.

Victoria shares how healthy resilience, inclusive leadership, and “whole human” cultures drive real business outcomes.

🔥 Why “resilience” doesn’t mean building walls — and what healthy resilience looks like

🧠 What leaders get wrong about DEI (and how to do it right)

👥 Why diverse teams innovate better — but only if they feel safe to speak

💬 The myth of top-down leadership — and what truly builds trust

⚙️ How to lead through transformation without burning your people out

If you’re navigating change, leading teams, or transforming culture — this is the blueprint you need.
