HELLO
I’m Vitale, President & CEO
Vitale Buford Hardin, CSP, is a transformational leader, nationally recognized speaker, and the visionary CEO of Vitale & Company. With two decades of experience revolutionizing corporate culture and individual performance, Vitale is not your typical consultant—she’s a trailblazer. She has led three groundbreaking university research studies uncovering the pervasive grip of perfectionism in today’s organizations. Her work spans industries and leadership levels, helping executives and teams build cultures where trust is a measurable advantage.
Vitale’s journey isn’t just about corporate results—it’s about personal transformation. Overcoming her own battles with perfectionism and addiction fueled her drive to write her 2020 memoir, Addicted to Perfect, become an iPEC-certified executive coach, and inspire thousands as a nationally featured speaker.
Vitale delivers high-impact culture change initiatives, strategic advisory, custom trainings, and performance coaching. She equips leaders with the tools to quiet perfectionism, elevate self-trust, deepen emotional intelligence, and build high-trust, high-performance cultures that last.
When she’s not leading change inside organizations, you’ll find her in Lexington, Kentucky with her husband and two sons. Vitale’s favorite things? Fleetwood Mac, M&M Blizzards, early mornings, and walk-and-talks with friends.
