Leadership and Self-Deception, with Victoria Trammel

In this podcast episode, Dr. Jonathan H. Westover talks with Victoria Trammel about leadership and self-deception. Victoria Trammel is a seasoned facilitator and leadership consultant who brings almost two decades of experience supporting the Intelligence Community to her work with Arbinger. Her expertise in strategic planning, employee engagement, leadership development and process improvement were sharpened in the fast-paced and ever-dynamic world of human intelligence operations. She began her career in joint counterterrorism operations, igniting a love of instructional design and facilitation while supporting partners around the globe. In subsequent positions, Victoria continued to embrace opportunities for learning and people development through leadership roles across the Intelligence Community from small niche operational programs to enterprise-wide software development programs to corporate culture initiatives. Most recently as a program manager of 65 employees at Leidos, Victoria had the opportunity to establish and develop her program leadership team under the guidance and coaching of the Arbinger Institute. Through the power of Arbinger’s work, the team evolved from a loose gathering of individuals with vague responsibilities to a passionate, innovative group of leaders who love their people as much as the mission. In doing so, they emerged as the next generation of leaders for the organization. Victoria has indispensable hands-on, real-world experience of creating organizational culture change through the Outward mindset. Victoria has a beautiful, blended family of 6 that enjoys planning vacations around experiencing different cultures through the power of food. She is fluent in French and speaks a couple other languages, though most of her vocabulary revolves around eating. Learn more about your ad choices.
