Victor Thompson, MBA & Certified Executive

Executive Coach and Consultant
"Many leaders can see the patterns around them, identify the problems in any situation and figure out ways to solve the problem. This is good. However, transformative leaders know that they don’t and shouldn’t have ALL the answers. They rise above their persona to create inclusive environments that invite ALL to belong, they organize fluid teams, and encourage continual adaption to ever-changing environments. They develop and fine tune a mindset of abundance; support and mentor emerging leaders; and they lead with love. This is great."
