Dr Victoria Stakelum
"My journey with NLP (Neuro-linguistic programming) began in 2001 when I was lucky enough to be trained in NLP as part of a graduate scheme. It was only upon revisiting my NLP Practitioner Certification in 2019 that I realised what a huge part these techniques had played in my life, leadership career and success!"
Those successes include:
- Being appointed as a Global Strategy Director, Executive Shareholder and Deputy CEO, before her 40th birthday and usually as the only woman at the leadership table.
- Being awarded an Honorary Doctorate for her role in launching the groundbreaking Arden University - an organisation that she led from a loss making £6m turnover business to a £35m success story.
- Relocating her family from the UK to rural Ireland to enjoy a more spacious, fulfilling and flexible life growing veggies and keeping chickens
- Starting a successful international Coaching and Therapy business in complete fulfilment and alignment to her life's purpose - to help others unlock their true potential for freedom and fulfilment
- Being awarded a place on 'The Break' Fellowship - an EU initiative to nurture entrepreneurialism in women.
My Secret Weapon
Since then, I have gone on to both research mindfulness as well as significantly deepen my own experience of it, through adopting the Vipassana tradition of mindfulness practice into my life. I'm always happy to chat about the role such practices can have in the creation of success - feel free to book a chat with me if you'd like to learn more!"
