#achieveitforward Dinners
A New Unique Location and Topic Each Dinner
The intention will be to put together a new #achieveitforward dinner every month. Each dinner will be co-created with a maximum of 8-10 people, and the location will fit with the theme of discussion for the evening throughout my journeys around the world. A local charity will be selected for donations to be paid forward to at each dinner.

“I met Victoria ten years ago, over an incredible family style meal in Northern Italy. I was immediately captivated by her intellectual curiosity and effervescence, and, when I finally returned to Vancouver a decade later, I knew that I had to attend one of her dinner parties. Through her masterful facilitation, warm and grounding presence, and collaborative leadership, we spent the evening developing ideas, facilitating connections, and engendering possibilities to help carry our ideas, aspirations, and visions to the next level.
Victoria derives her strength and influence not from steadfast individualism but from her capacity not only to see the best but also to bring out the best in everyone around her. The dinners, just like her, are convivial, unpretentious, energizing, and, for lack of a better word, inspiring. And these feelings of community, connection, and empowerment transcend our time together at the table.”
“I’ve had the privilege of attending two of Victoria’s dinners. I was so impressed with the first one that I had to do it again! Victoria brought some very special people together in an open atmosphere that really facilitated deep connections and self reflection. A level of vulnerability I wasn’t expecting. Ate some delicious food, made some great connections and left better than I arrived!”
“The experience of Umami Journeys is brilliant; Victoria has the unique ability to facilitate an environment that produces personal interactions that run deeper than a title or label. As I have seen it play out, the events and classes have ultimately led to high value engagements and strong professional and personal relationships. I highly recommend Umami’s programs and facilitator events as a step into a higher quality of connecting for your business and your life.”
