  • A Real-Life Field of Dreams

    A Real-Life Field of Dreams

    Recently, I made a career decision that wasn’t driven by title, compensation, or what looked good on paper. It was driven by my heart. This wasn’t about chasing a paycheck. It was about following a leader who is building something worth believing in. When the pandemic hit, many of us were suddenly scattered. Like so…

    The Universe’s Catalyst: a beautiful tragedy

    At the beginning of August, I hit a hard realization — I might never have the kind of relationship I’d always imagined having with my child. From day one, things just didn’t go the way I’d pictured them. Lately, the thought that kept looping in my mind was, maybe doing this alone wasn’t the best…

    A Rainy Cape Cod Sunday morning…

    I was in Brooklyn for Thanksgiving; while hanging with some close friends, I was surprised when one said, “Hey, why aren’t you blogging anymore?” then all chimed in – yeah, why – they were great! At that moment, I realized that I had not blogged since the passing of my best friend and brother from…

    VC the BP?

    Has anyone ever told you, you have a big personality, and you wondered what that meant? Lately, while getting into the zone of finding a career home, I have heard a lot about “my big personality.” Is that a bad thing? I say hell no. Look at those adjectives: stable, agreeable, open, extraverted, conscientious. Over…

  • Dear Covid,

    Dear Covid,

    You changed the entire world, and unlike WWII, which transformed the US in positive ways – for one, the ability to mass produce penicillin which saved my life when I was three – you changed the world differently. In a way that no of my generation could have ever imagined. I work hard each day…

    OMG… I am meditating…

    Anyone who knows me knows I am not the type to meditate. But my new thing is to do as many things that make me uncomfortable as possible. Hence this blog!! Meditation is at the top of my list for uncomfortable. Is this really going to help? If I had a nickel for how many…

    It’s Thanksgiving, and I was booted from my Tribe!!

    For the past 27 years, I have always looked forward to sending cards, and gifts, reviewing the past year’s successes, and planning for the upcoming with my clients. The best part was that as the years went by and I became known for my relationship-building skills – it was more like chatting with friends and…

  • How I got here

    How I got here

    It is exciting for me to step into my uncomfortable place with the launch of my blog: They call me VC. I wish I had a nickel for every time I introduced myself and said …” Hi, I’m Victoria Conti, but they call me VC. Who the hell are they?? (haha) Well, “they” are pretty…
