Hi, I’m Victoria Walsh, Certified Executive / Career Coach and Leadership Consultant passionate about enabling people and teams to optimise their ability to make everyday a best day.
I bring a back story of over 20 years commercial and leadership experience having spent two decades working in the world of marketing agencies before transitioning and setting up my own coaching and consultancy business in 2015. With an enthusiasm for positive psychology in the workplace, my focus is on enabling people to confidently step-up and lead themselves and those around them more effectively in careers they love, untapping their maximum performance potential and within cultures which inspire growth and positive wellbeing.

I can honestly say that working with Victoria has been a life-changing experience.I’ve spent many years being unhappy with my career. I knew what I was doing wasn’t really ‘me’ – but I didn’t have the confidence or clarity to be able to do anything about it.
With Victoria’s calm, warm and wise guidance I have made huge strides towards changing career and finding work that feels authentic to me. But perhaps more importantly, she has helped me identify the values that are at my core and understand what makes me happy and gives my life purpose and meaning. Victoria has an amazing ability to coax ideas and thoughts out of me – things that on reflection seem so obvious, but without her, I would never have recognised. And thanks to Victoria, I now have tools that I can use for the rest of my life to make better decisions and that give me the confidence to take positive action when I’m feeling stuck.
We used Victoria as part of a programme to prepare our staff for a transition to a new review system. She successfully delivered a series of concise sessions ("Giving and Receiving Feedback") to small groups and it was notable that staff at all levels rated her delivery highly, with a few sceptics converted along the way by her confidence in engaging with all perspectives. She was also able to give us some thoughtful insights gained from each session, understanding the themes and concerns expressed by staff which were effectively summarised for us to take on board. I have no doubt that we will be using Victoria's services again.
My journey with Victoria has been immensely positive for me and I am so pleased with myself that I made the investment. From the very first session I could see results. In a short space of time I quickly built my confidence using strategies and tools Victoria shared. She helped me to understand my passions and priorities and I am using insight to drive towards change in career and my location. Victoria’s focused coaching has helped me realise and empowered me to stretch to my full potential.
We really enjoyed our collaboration with Victoria Walsh as part of our Refinery29 UK x adidas post run events series at the adidas Brick Lane Studio in London. Victoria took part in a Refinery29 UK Facebook Live as well as giving a post run talk on ‘How can we manage a busy life effectively’. Her involvement was a highlight for us and for our audience!
