About
Greetings, my name is Val. I was promoted to a leadership position without any proper training which led to difficulties with my team's performance, behavior, and morality. However, I was determined not to fail and decided to immerse myself in various educational resources such as books, earning an MBA degree, and obtaining coaching and organizational culture certification. Through this, I acquired knowledge on what motivates people internally and leveraged that to turnaround my struggling team.

Having left my corporate job, I established Executive Muse with the goal of providing leadership training to both small and large companies including prominent organizations like Citrix, Facebook, and Gonzaga University. My mission is to assist others in creating a highly engaged workforce.

I intend to achieve this through various means including public speaking, personal coaching, online courses, and my recent publication, "Chief Inspiration Officer: How to Lead the Team Everyone wants to be on". With these resources, I hope to guide you towards the development of a thriving work culture.

Not many people have the exceptional ability to positively and deeply influence your life in a brief period of time. After participating in Val's coaching sessions, I felt empowered, certain, and armed with practical resources. It was the most valuable personal investment of my time and money. Thank you, Val!

Val was a speaker at our engineering conference where she presented on the subject of "Developing a thriving culture." Her discussion was both captivating and thought-provoking, prompting us to examine our own culture and find ways to enhance retention, engagement, and overall productivity. As a result, Val is now a consultant for our company and has provided us with concrete and practical ideas for improving our approach to people management. We highly recommend her services!
