Testimonials

This was a training that was really needed and I received a lot from Val and the material. I am better prepared to handle some problems that I didn't really know that I was having. I will use this information in my presentations and my networking as I strive to be better. I have been applying what I have learned and I have a renewed focus and I have been inspired to go and deliver what I have been given.

Johnson & Johnson

Val is a business coach and meeting facilitator, par excellence! I held a retreat for my Advisory Council. They said it was the best they had attended in a long time. Val was our facilitator for an all day workshop and attendees have not stopped talking about it yet! It went better than I could have imagined. Val also worked very closely with me and quickly grasped what I wanted to accomplish and what our work is about. I cannot recommend him highly enough. You will be most pleased with Val Boston

University Director

We had our second workshop today and I wanted to let you know that Val did an excellent job facilitating the meeting. We were able to develop a council structure and a high level view of the committees. He's been wonderful to work with and provided my team with valuable resources as well as his expertise. It is very possible that we will need another workshop later in the year as we finalize our strategic plan
