Leadership isn’t about perfection—it’s about purpose!
Dr. Victoria Farris
Â
Hi, I'm Victoria
Â
This is my StoryÂ
Â
I’ve wanted to change the world for as long as I can remember.
When I was little, adults would ask what I wanted to be when I grew up, and my answer was always some version of “I want to change the world.” That desire never left, it just became more grounded, more courageous, and more precise.
Today, I help leaders do exactly that.
For more than a decade, I’ve worked with thousands of leaders across industries, coaching executives, facilitating transformational workshops, and guiding leadership cohorts, all grounded in rigorous research and deeply human practice. My work is rooted in a simple but radical belief:
The way we lead shapes the way people live.
Leadership isn’t just about performance, strategy, or results. It’s one of the most powerful tools we have for transforming workplaces, and by extension, communities and culture, from the inside out.
Â
My Approach
My work lives at the intersection of research, human behavior, liberation, and belonging.
I guide leaders to lead with clarity, alignment, and purpose. Not by performing a version of leadership that burns them out, but by returning to themselves and learning how to lead from that place.
Whether I’m coaching a senior executive, facilitating a leadership cohort, or speaking to a room full of leaders, the work is the same at its core:
-
Strengthening self-trust to strengthen decision-making
-
Building emotional resilience to steadily navigate disruption and change
-
Developing nervous-system-aware leadership to build trust, innovation, and engagement
-
Creating cultures where people feel seen, valued, and empowered so that teams and organizations thrive
Because people don’t thrive in systems that demand conformity over leadership, and neither do organizations.Â
Â
My Background
I earned my doctorate from the University of Pennsylvania, where my research on disrupting racism in organizational contexts earned double distinction. That work continues to shape everything I do, not as theory for theory’s sake, but as lived, practical leadership.
I’m a:
-
Scholar
-
Certified hypnotherapist
-
Executive and leadership coach
-
Facilitator and speaker
But more than anything, I’m someone who believes leadership should feel alive, grounded, and human.
Academic rigor matters to me, and so does embodiment. Strategy matters, and so does nervous system regulation. Equity matters, and so does joy.

The Human Part
Because leadership is human work, here’s the human part of me.
I’m a proud Mom + Bonus Mom. An activist. A seeker of joy, awe, and truth. I love to travel, try new things, eat the most delicious foods, and savor adventure. I look at the moon, hug trees, and read books. I believe deeply that your leadership should feel like you, not a role you perform.
The greatest privilege of my career is watching leaders return to themselves and then go on to transform their teams, organizations, and communities in the process.
