Gaining clarity through holistic coaching

Victoria Baylor runs the type of business you don’t know you need until you’re knee-deep in your own success. Even though the world around you is operating as normal, and people approach you as “the strong friend,” somehow you look in the mirror at yourself and you don’t recognize your own reflection.

Serving locally and internationally as a Mindset and Clarity Coach, a TEDx speaker of “You Are Who You Are Not What You Do,” and the host of the “Awakening Brilliance” podcast, Baylor offers high level coaching to professional and entrepreneur women. Though these women are often very high achieving, Baylor said in her experience, many of these women haven’t had someone they can be honest with and say, “I’m making $200,000 a year, but I feel really insecure,” or, “I struggle when I get up,” or, “I just got this promotion, but I don’t feel smart enough.”

The Mindset Coach has resided in Savannah for over 20 years, having graduated from Savannah State with a degree in Marine Biology. During what she labels as “the first chapter of her life,” It was her dream. When she first saw Jacques Cousteau on television at the age of 8-years old she fell in love with marine biology, and she wanted to pursue it as her life-long career.

She landed internships early in her career, got through college with high honors, and even managed her full-time relationship while in school. After school, she lived her dream of working in the field of Research Science, traveled the world, worked on multi-million-dollar projects, and had many phenomenal experiences making her dreams come true. Still, somehow, Baylor ended up hitting a wall one day.

“It was never a big deal for me to achieve, but I started to notice I had some trouble and issues with my confidence the more I moved forward,” she said. “And now, looking back I realize that I never really knew my value. I didn’t have my own identity set in my personal value. Therefore, I couldn’t fight against that [lack of confidence], so I just kind of crumbled. And the worst part about it is that no one knew; they couldn’t tell.

“If I had a broken arm, people would be able to see it and tell me to put it in a sling. But what happens when part of your mind is broken and you don’t really understand yourself and the self-doubt is getting you and the lack of confidence and all of that?”

Baylor said, because of her analytical nature, she began to realize patterns within herself as her self-doubts would arrive. So, eventually, she did a deep dive into the inner workings of her own mind to get to the root of those patterns. She, then, adjusted the behavior, and now she works with other women to help them do the same.

“That became the coaching program that I put women through,” she said. “I help them to do the deep dive to gain clarity and insight on who they are and it really works wonders.”

The Clarity and Mindset Coaching Program takes a holistic approach by taking women through necessary steps including increasing self-knowledge, mindset building, exploring their “zone of brilliance” and developing their personal brand.

Since she began coaching, Baylor said she has helped hundreds of women over the last decade.

“I’ve had clients get elected to office, clients that launch big endeavors, publications, get instant raises just because they ask,” Baylor said. “It’s time for the tide to turn. Statistically, 86% of women, specifically entrepreneurs, don’t make over the six-figure point and I don’t think it’s the lack of competence. Many women just don’t have the confidence in themselves to push the envelope on what they’re capable of doing and being successful at.”

Baylor truly enjoys the work that she does. Though she already services women internationally, she plans to expand her services even further, take on many more speaking engagements, and become a New York Times Bestseller after she launches her first novel in January 2022.

“You can tell when a woman looks at herself differently,” she said. “You can see it in her face and you can see it in the way that she talks about herself and you can hear that confidence. I love watching these women transform. It excites me.”
