About Us
Victorio Consulting is a family business, established in 2001. Change and the art of being in change has always fascinated us. For 25 years, as the improv comedy duo of Victorio and Mann, Ricci and Raymond Victorio focused their curiosity onstage to develop a unique training approach for ensemble-based improvisational theater. They founded Creative Agility, leading Applied Improvisation workshops & retreats for professionals to enhance creativity, intuition and connection with others. Having grown up in the business, Natalie formally joined the team in 2009 and contributes in leading candidate recruiting, leadership training and assessment programs.
In 1994, Ricci started to work with organizations and family businesses across the country. We found our approach was extremely effective in helping teams navigate change, find their creative flow and work together more effectively, or as we like to call it, become an ensemble. We continue to coach teams through difficult topics to help each individual contribute in building the roadmap for the future and have become recognized innovators in leadership, building team morale and navigating change.
Ricci and Natalie are Certified Mentors and Trainers with the Professional Dynametric Programs (PDP), which helps them identify and match the perfect candidates to build synergistic teams for their clients. They bring a compassionate and professional perspective to the complex psychology of helping people navigate through rapid change.
