From Foster Care to Financial Freedom: Victoria Pelletier Shares How She Said Goodbye to a Hard-Knock Life and Leveraged Trauma to Create a Trauma-Informed Workplace
Show Notes

Victoria Pelletier has vivid memories of the day her biological mother relinquished care of her to a family to be fostered and adopted. She credits a supportive adoptive family and a drive for more that led her to be a COO at the age of 24, and the reason diversity, equity, and inclusion are key values to her today.

You will learn:

  • Overachieving is sometimes a compensatory effort from those who've experienced trauma.
  • Adaptations learned during surviving hard times can be leveraged well in the workplace.
  • The need to feel at home and included is universal, and facilitating that experience can be both monetarily and morally advantageous.
