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."
I've given keynotes, won competitions, and MC'd for Royal Weddings (just kidding on that last one).
