Vicki Hitzges

A trailblazing broadcast journalist with a dynamic career, Vicki brings captivating storytelling, humor, and energy to her presentations, which makes her a sought-after speaker worldwide. 

Vicki was the first woman and youngest person to hold the title of Dallas Bureau Chief at KTVT in Dallas, at the time, the largest, independent TV station in the nation. She also anchored the news for the NBC affiliate (KRIS) in Corpus Christi, Texas where she won the prestigious Headliner Award from the National Press Club.

Back in Dallas, she co-hosted the popular Dallas Cowboy's weekly TV show, Special Edition, before becoming a publicist. In that role, her clients included the world's top motivational speaker, Zig Ziglar. Impressed with her creativity, Ziglar invited Vicki to be one of the few speakers he would personally mentor.  You’ll find that training combined with her natural story-telling skills will benefit YOU!

Vicki captivates audiences with enthralling stories, dry humor, and carbonated energy-- never Power Point.  Her rich content combined with her entertaining style make her an in-demand speaker for meeting planners who need a proven, strong message about how to deal with people, pressure, and the temptation to procrastinate at work.

Publications ranging from Entrepreneur magazine to the Chicago Tribune to the Dallas Morning News seek her guidance. Even the British Broadcasting Corporation’s frustrated hosts called her for motivational advice for their soccer team, Manchester United. (After the call, the famed soccer team won!)

Vicki holds a Certified Speaking Professional designation - an earned title given to less than 10% of speakers internationally and only a few hundred women.

She's authored two books, the first of which sold out the first day it was on the market. Now in multiple printings, it's sold around the world. That book, Attitude is Everything - 10 Steps to Staying Positive, sells strongly as does her second book, Stuck on Stop - How to Quit Procrastinating.
 
She's single. Has a strong faith. And she divides her time between eating too much Rocky Road and torturing herself by not eating anything to make up for it.
