GA, USDiscover how to transform any setback into your greatest comeback through the lens of someone who has mastered reinvention across three continents and at least six careers.
Harness your varied background of seemingly scattered experiences and learn how to weave them into your greatest strength.
As a licensed mediator, a qualified interpreter, a trained chef, and an international attorney, Valerie’s experience includes identifying and engaging diverse stakeholders in developing and implementing a shared strategic vision for improving the daily lives of anyone who is foreign trained.
Valerie has firsthand experience of the challenges of integrating into a new society without losing yourself. She is knowledgeable about how you can make your newfound home benefit from you as you find ways to benefit from it. As a lifelong learner, each of these roles she has occupied have taught her something essential about people; how we listen, how we lead, how we heal, and how we build bridges across even the widest divides.
She refers to herself as an international lawyer by training, a chef at heart, and someone who believes deeply in the power of resilience, reinvention, and human connection. Her path has never been linear and over the years, she has built a career that weaves together global law, cross-cultural communication, conflict resolution, and program leadership. Whether she is advocating in international legal forums, managing community-driven initiatives, or mediating complex disputes, she brings her full self to the work: curious, passionate, grounded, and committed to making space for others to thrive.
What drives her is simply empowering others to find their voice, adapt to change, and move forward with confidence. Life will no doubt throw us curveballs, but with the right mindset and support, we can all learn to pivot, to grow, and to lead with purpose.
Through Valerie’s talks you will learn the practical strategies and mindset shifts that turn life's inevitable transitions into opportunities for exponential growth. Her vast and diverse experiences provide her audiences with the forum to:
- Discover the 'global resilience framework' for thriving in any environment or industry.
