Valerie Renee, MCPC

Valerie Renee has built her career - and her life - around one central theme: meaningful connection. Whether in business, coaching, or on stage, she has consistently demonstrated that when people feel connected to themselves and to others, they unlock their greatest potential.

Her career began in real estate, where she quickly learned the value of trust, relationship-building, and effective communication. Those skills became the foundation of a 16-year journey in the non-commercial foodservice industry, where Valerie held roles in marketing, business development, and ultimately sales leadership. One of her proudest professional milestones came when she led the sales team of a tech startup, helping to drive growth in a highly competitive market. In every role, she was recognized not only for results, but also for her ability to inspire, mentor, and elevate the people around her.

While achieving success in sales, Valerie also felt a growing pull toward work that tapped into her deeper passion: helping people grow. She pursued advanced training and became a Master Certified Professional Coach (MCPC). Today, she blends her business expertise with her coaching skills to help individuals and organizations thrive. Her coaching focuses on showing people how to build meaningful connections, both within themselves to strengthen self-awareness, and with others to enhance collaboration, leadership, and culture. The result is greater well-being, resilience, and success in every arena of life.

As a speaker, Valerie brings her message to conferences, corporate gatherings, and professional associations. Her keynote, Wired for Connection, equips audiences with science-based insights and practical tools for creating stronger personal and professional relationships. Known for her engaging, relatable style, she combines storytelling with interactive elements to ensure participants walk away not only inspired but equipped to make lasting change. Event organizers consistently praise her ability to connect with diverse audiences and deliver takeaways that stick.

Beyond her professional life, Valerie lives her message of connection and adventure. Residing in the mountains of Colorado, she finds joy and renewal in skiing, hiking, mountain biking, and running. She treasures good food, good wine, and meaningful conversations with friends - all reminders that connection fuels both success and happiness.

Through every stage of her career, Valerie has proven that relationships are not just “soft skills” -they are the real bottom line. As a coach, speaker, and leader, she continues to champion connection as the key to engagement, culture, and performance, while also reminding people that true fulfillment starts with the relationship they have with themselves.
