VICKI HITZGES
Motivational, Communication & Change Speaker
Vicki Hitzges started out as a reporter and interviewer. That’s where she developed a talent for talking to anyone about anything. The National Press Club recognized her reporting ability with its prestigious Headliner Award. Vicki Hitzges hosted TV newscasts for NBC in Corpus Christi. She also hosted talk shows, anchored and reported for Fox, CBS and ABC affiliates in Dallas.
Here’sVicki Hitzge's “most” list of celebrities she’s interviewed:
Most fun: Bette Midler.
Most famous: Elizabeth Taylor.
Most pumped: Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Most relaxed: Cheech and Chong.
Most glamorous: Farrah Fawcett
Most difficult (surprisingly): Bill Cosby
From the wonderful world of TV, Vicki Hitzges headed into public relations. One of her clients was America’s foremost motivational teacher, Zig Ziglar. Zig admired Vicki Hitzge's creativity and invited her to be one of the few speakers he has personally mentored.
Since making the transition into public speaking, Vicki Hitzges has achieved numerous milestones. She was the first female speaker ever invited to address the California Business Leadership Summit. The following year she was invited back as a special guest to meet the second female speaker, former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Vicki Hitzge's spoken to enthusiastic audiences across the United States as well as in Canada, Thailand, Panama and New Zealand.
Vicki Hitzge's as energetic off stage as she is on. In fact, she’s ready and willing to take on just about any challenge. Her proudest achievement? She once installed a toilet in her guest bathroom, aided only by over-the-phone, step-by-step instructions from the guy at the hardware store.
