Grow with Hortiki Plant's Founder Victoria LeBeaux, PhD

Grow in Business, Performance, and Impact

What if the key to growth isn't working harder—but working smarter with play and curiosity?

Dr. Victoria LeBeaux, Founder of Hortiki Plants, spent years following traditional advice to scale her business: push harder, hustle more, never quit. But those approaches led to burnout, not breakthroughs. Taking a cue from Hortiki's guiding principle of play, she discovered a better path: sustainable growth through systems, not stress.

Her keynotes deliver practical frameworks for scaling businesses, executing without burnout, innovating under pressure, and sustaining performance—joyfully. With energy and warmth, she equips audiences with science-backed tools they can implement immediately.

Science meets joy. Strategy meets play. Let's grow!

Victoria was an excellent addition to our recent Entrepreneurship Event!

She opened up her actual process for our audience of entrepreneurs, providing real world examples from the tools she uses to her business structure. Her actionable advice and positive attitude truly energized the room. I felt inspired to put everything I have into my small business and I don't even own a small business!

Dr. LeBeaux brings the energy, the science, and the proof: play isn't a break from work, it's a tool that helps us work with resilience through all the challenges life has to offer. Drawing from neuroscience and her own healing journey, she reveals how specific forms of play can activate rapid neuroplasticity, offering immediate, powerful shifts that often bypass the slow, linear progress of traditional remedies.
