Meet Victoria Patenaude
High-Stakes Communication Expert
Victoria helps elite teams discover why the top 1% succeed under pressure while everyone else falters—and how to scale that advantage across their entire organization.
After earning a Master's degree from Columbia University in Communication Sciences and Disorders and working with hundreds of professionals, Victoria discovered something surprising: what separates elite performers from everyone else is not confidence, mindset, or technique. It's Flashpoint Congruence—the ability to maintain signal alignment when pressure peaks. This allows top performers to signal trust at every level when stakes are highest.
Her methodology, refined through 15 years of work across neurorehabilitation, professional voice, and high-stakes communication, reveals the invisible vocal and physiological markers that clients' brains process subconsciously in milliseconds—before rational evaluation begins. What elite professionals do naturally can now be understood, measured, and built systematically.
"I can confidently say that Victoria is a master of her craft. Working with her is a transformative journey."
