WENDY IRELAND
Podcaster & TOASTMASTER
"To work with Val is to be seen. Instead of telling me what to do or how to improve my speaking skills, Val offered specific techniques based on her observations and my skill set. Her exercises and techniques allowed me to feel the difference through practice, which created more meaningful change."
DAVE WERKLUND
CEO WERKLUND VENTURES
"Valerie, from the moment I met her, there was something special in how she made me feel. She makes people believe in themselves. She helped me verify what it is that drives me and then articulate it with conviction. She is able to pull what is important to me out of my stories to give my talks more meaning and purpose."

Ways to work with me
With wedding season just around the corner... you might be expected to speak. Will you rise to this special occasion?
Grab a template and you won't miss.
Special moments deserve more than a copy-paste speech. Start with a pro-built template, then make it your own.
Weddings. Toasts. Eulogies. Graduations.
Take my classes, enrol in my course, or hire me for personal speech coaching. I've worked with leaders, billionaires, speech competitors, and the wedding party.
Your next talk matters. So does your long game.
Whether it’s nerves, rambling, or just not feeling completely confident on stage, let’s fix it—for good.
Whether you have a high-stakes presentation coming up or just want to feel more confident speaking in front of any audience, the first step is knowing what’s holding you back—and how to fix it.
Public speaking shouldn’t feel like a panic attack waiting to happen and it doesn't have to, trust me...
I see you, game changer...
Join a crew of ambitious speakers doing hard, but rewarding things and getting fresh inspiration from me, Off the Cuff!
I'm an award-winning speaker, Ironman, certified personal and speaking coach, public speaking nerd, and I love a good adventure.
