I have worked with Valerie both on a personal level and with my previous company, We hired Valerie to run a Strengths Workshop for our staff or 45. She facilitated the assessment tool directly with our staff, planned the workshop based on our expressed interests, took time to understand our culture and presented the material in a fun, energetic, and knowledgeable way. Valerie is so flexible and easy to work with. She is passionate about development of teams and believes in the power of her work. I would recommend Valerie for knowledge-based workshops on leadership development, strengths based topics, and career development. She provides a high level of value at a very reasonable price. I would definitely have Valerie back for other discussions and topics.

Her combination of HR expertise and deep knowledge of strengths-based development makes her a terrific partner in evaluating and designing programs aimed at your objectives, and she was resourceful and creative problem-solver on everything from time constraints, budget parameters and a very short lead time for planning. Valerie’s energy, expertise and engaging style ensured that our workshop with 300 staff felt personal and relevant. The best evidence of Valerie’s impact resides in our ongoing strengths program, with 900 staff now able to use their strengths every day.
