Testimonials

 I originally hired Valerie as my business/life coach because I needed a safe space with someone I could trust, to help me work through personal issues that were blocking my business success. However, I received so much more! Her support has truly been extraordinarily valuable. Her excellent coaching skills have enabled me to identify and clearly assess barriers to my personal and business growth. The accountability component of the coaching has caused me to take more timely action in initiating changes that are leading to more balance in my personal life, and growth and structure in my business. Valerie is an excellent listener. She provides thought-provoking, non-judgmental feedback. Her approach fosters openness and continuous self-reflection. There have been many times when I’ve continued to reflect on our discussion long after our meeting. I’m so glad that I made the decision to work with Valerie. It’s not an overstatement to say that it has been both personally and professionally transformative.

 I had the most spectacular career coaching session with Valerie. She opened our call with intention, setting the tone for a session that felt deep, meaningful, and custom-tailored to me. Valerie has a true gift for listening and tuning in to what you most need to hear. Because of our session, I took important steps toward prioritizing myself and aligning with the future I’m building. I had been feeling stuck, and after working with her, breakthroughs, clarity and momentum began to emerge. Since then, I’ve already made real progress. - Stephanie H. life. Each time, I have spoken with Valerie, I can humbly say, I have taken away precious jewels that I know will take me to the next level. To sum it up, Valerie possesses self-awareness, self-management, social awareness and relationship management and it shows each time she speaks with empathy, understanding, compassion and bringing women together to share their stories. 

Steph Houle: Design Leader and Consultant

 I met with Valerie at a time when I felt my business was a bit "stuck". I somehow envisaged her being able to advise me on whether I had too many offerings, the wrong ones, or that I was not "marketing" myself authentically. To my surprise, we didn't speak much about my business - but rather about ME, and more about how I was showing up. And as Valerie was talking, I fully realised just how much I was in my own way! Valerie was able to "hear" me beyond my words, and additionally, reflect back to me a few key, foundational elements that immediately began to have a profound impact on how I show up. Within 48 hours of us meeting, things were already shifting around me as I allowed myself to embody these elements. Valerie is amazing and her no nonsense approach is hugely refreshing! Thank you Valerie. .

 I am grateful to have attended the past two webinars you held on social justice/advocacy for BIPOC with disabilities. The format was welcoming to constructive conversation and also provided excellent information to empower the learners who were present. I would look forward to continued learning opportunities!

 Today I received my book, “The Power of Networking: Where Your Career and Your Well-being Meet,” by Valerie Lyons. It was a page-turner, so much so, I read the book in the same day. It was an easy and practical read. The content blessed me and shifted my perspective on networking. I don’t see it as a chore to get anxiety about, but it can be considered self care because Im expanding my reach and resources that can make me better and take me further. The self reflection questions at the end of the chapters guided me to evaluate my weaknesses and highlight my strengths. This is a great book with some great gems of wisdom. I would recommend as a resource for anyone struggling with networking.
