Program Consulting
Victoria believes that company success relies on the development and respect of those who are directly and indirectly in touch with clients. Based on a company’s mission and goals, she strategically taps into staff expertise by assessing individual strengths and challenges. By discovering people’s passion and tapping into individual motivation therein lies the keys to meeting company objectives. Through a focused approach and honoring skills each team member brings to the table she develops tools to enhance the collective effort and goals of a company.
With over 2 decades of experience, Victoria has worked with companies to improve character, moral, and company outcomes.
She used her talents to coordinate and implement conferences and meetings with companies such as the University of Minnesota, Medtronic, and St. Jude Medical. In 2012, she founded Cre8ive Consulting where she has expanded to help companies raise their bottom lines and improve company morale.
