  • Valerie has an amazing gift of collaboration and bringing the right people together to collaborate, drive change, lean in on tough topics. I was honored to be invited to participate in her exclusive women’s group of high-powered successful thought leaders. Together we leaned in hard during the Covid challenges of 2020 to build something new which allowed us to be authentic leaders who all had responsibility of leading teams/organizations/projects and work together to rise up and take charge with new vision and solutions to help work through the chaos. With Valeries insight to build that group of women we now have numerous success stories from our leadership meetings that can measure the benefit and outcome of her vision for the group. I know I have become a better influencer and leader because of those brilliant people she brought together as one unit.
