    Turnaround Queen: Victoria Pelletier on Resilience & Whole-Human Leadership

    What does it really take to be in the top 5% of leaders - without burning yourself out or armouring up? In this episode of Driving Impact: The Top 5% Method, Katheline Jean-Pierre sits down with Victoria Pelletier - “turnaround queen”, transformation executive, and former “Iron Maiden” - to unpack what healthy resilience looks like in real life, and how to lead as a whole human in an AI-driven world. Born to a drug-addicted teenage mother, adopted into a low-income family, and carrying decades of unprocessed trauma, Victoria became a COO at 24 and a CEO at 41. In this conversation, she shares how she moved from rigid armour to authentic, vulnerable leadership - and why that shift unlocked deeper trust, better teams, and bigger business results. We also dive into how organizations can implement AI in a way that actually works for people, not just for the slide deck. In this episode, we cover: Healthy resilience vs. protective armour - why “toughing it out” eventually breaks youHow Victoria carried her “Iron Maiden” persona for decades - and what finally cracked itBecoming COO at 24 and leading a 6,000-person organization without a traditional pathWhy confidence is often mistaken for competence (and how she backs it up with execution)Building high-performing teams and earning the nickname “turnaround queen”Values-driven leadership: saying no to performative DEI and misaligned workWhole-human leadership - bringing your full lived experience into the way you leadHow to balance high expectations with genuine care, trust, and vulnerabilityThe 3 A’s of AI transformation: Alignment, Adoption & AbilityWhy AI success is 70% people and process, not just algorithms and toolingWhat Victoria learned from horrible leaders (and how not to lead)The biggest lie about success - and how she defines it nowWhat the top 5% achievers do that the other 95% don’tThe one lesson every founder needs to hear about not doing it all themselvesConnect with Victoria Pelletier via her website: victoria-pelletier.com Subscribe for more conversations with top 5% leaders who are building careers, companies, and cultures that truly drive impact.

Rather than relying on memory, she argues your calendar tells the truth about how you actually spend your time. By reviewing month-by-month and categorizing hours across work, side projects, relationships, health, learning, and reactive versus strategic tasks, you'll uncover the gap between your stated values and reality. Katheline shares her own example: she claimed health was a priority but her calendar showed only 3 hours monthly—far below what she'd previously committed. The audit isn't about judgment; it's the data foundation needed to intentionally redesign how you spend your time in 2026. 00:00 Thanksgiving Reflections and Career Reinvention 01:19 The Importance of a Calendar Audit 02:09 Redesigning Your Career: A New Approach 02:39 Podcast Intro & Outro.mp4

It's a masterclass in what happens when you strip away every external marker of success—the title, the salary, the respect, and have to find worth in yourself when society tells you you're worthless. She mopped floors while building an empire. She scored recreational basketball games while creating content that would reach hundreds of thousands. She did whatever it took because she understood something fundamental: your value isn't determined by your job title or your LinkedIn profile. Real transformation isn't pretty... sometimes you have to bury the old version of yourself in whatever vessel you can find and start over.
