Where ambitious women prepare to be seen, heard, and promoted— with science, strategy, and fearless self-belief

If you’re standing on the edge, you’re exactly where leadership begins

“Vicki has an extraordinary talent for recognizing potential and helping individuals unlock it.” Kathleen Terry, Leadership Coach and Founder of Participative Management Systems Manhattan Beach, USA
“I met Vicki 12 years ago in a 9-month leadership program to educate and develop future community leaders. She is an amazing force of positivity. A doer. A person of action. She draws people and resources together to achieve great outcomes.” Sandra King, Manhattan Beach, USA
“What sets Vicki apart is her ability to balance leadership with authenticity. It’s clear she is deeply passionate about making a positive impact on the lives of young leaders around the world.” Kylie Smith , Resilience & Wellbeing Consultant NSW, Australia

You don’t need more advice. You need a game plan.

At The Grow Zone Layer, we don’t just cheer women on—we coach them forward.


You’ve got ambition. We give it direction.


Our programmes blend brain science, behavioural psychology, and a journey utilising practical leadership tools to help you move from overlooked— to promotion ready at work, empowered in your personal life, and in every room you walk into.

Using the P.A.I.R framework we help you get ahead avoiding burning out, fitting in, or playing small.

Our founder, Vicki Tyler, has been where you are.


After rebuilding her life—twice—and rising from retail to president of a global company, Vicki created The Grow Zone Layer to give ambitious women the edge they need to access more of what they are capable of.

This isn’t about hype. Vicki uses strategy, science, and teaches a unique .045% mindset. 

This number? It represents the likelihood she is still alive, let alone walking after 2 near death spinal accidents in her 20’s.

Vicki shares stories and exercises to reflect the fragility of life inspiring a “lets go ladies” mindset.

And leadership ISN’T something you wait for. It’s something you compound through intentional actions, supported by a mentor who has walked the talk.

This year I was fortunate enough to go to the USA with Vicki Tyler as a part of a lifeguard exchange. She leads in a way that inspires and motivates everyone, pushing us to become the best versions of ourselves. She is the most open minded person, which is an infectious attribute, ultimately helping us to do the same and make the most of our time overseas. Vicki is empowering and makes the people around her feel confident, brave, and positive and I think that anyone who gets to learn from, and be inspired by her is incredibly lucky.

As a leader I found Vicki to be extremely encouraging. She is very empathetic and strives towards making situations better for everyone involved and helping everyone in any way she can. She made me feel as though my hopes for becoming a coach on the next exchange can come true and I can achieve my goals. I enjoyed her enthusiasm because it brought out the best in everyone.
