Looking for a speaker who's fun? Has energy? Will make your audience laugh? That's Vicki Hitzges.

Vicki Hitzges polished her communication skills hosting TV news and talk shows at Dallas, TX affiliates for Fox, CBS and ABC and the NBC affiliate in Corpus Christi, TX where she won a National Press Club "Headliner" Award.

From TV, Vicki entered the business world as a corporate publicist where she directed the Public Relations campaign for BeautiControl Cosmetics, the world's third-largest direct-sales cosmetics company. Right away she attracted other prestigious clients including motivational guru, Zig Ziglar. Impressed with her vitality and creativity, Zig invited Vicki to be one of the few speakers he would personally mentor.

Within three years, Vicki Hitzges had spoken from New England to New Zealand and has since spoken across the U.S., in Puerto Rico, Thailand, Panama and the South Pacific.

Pleased clients include such powerhouse companies as Microsoft, Cisco, Southwest Airlines, Pac Bell, Hilton Corporation, Safeway, Merck Pharmaceutical and New York Life Insurance.

Meeting planners recommend Vicki because she understands business AND she's fun. Audiences enjoy listening to her. Meeting planners give rave reviews because groups want to listen. As a result, they learn. They get practical information they can begin using right away.

Vicki has a flashing smile. She has lots of energy and loves to laugh. Audiences enjoy Vicki's insight and vibrant delivery. Your group will, too!

One reason Vicki has such a dramatic impact is that her work is tailored to the needs and dynamics of each group. Vicki doesn’t believe in one-size-fits-all speeches. She welcomes the opportunity to talk with key decision-makers in advance, so she can maximize her relevance.
