Val is helping me to find creative ways to market myself that are also aligned with who I am and what I feel very comfortable doing. I would highly recommend Val for anyone who is working to find the ways to naturally express who they are and what their unique gifts and services are. I’m so thankful that I found Val when I did!

How Does Coaching Work?
We meet by phone or in person once a week. We can meet in my Northampton, MA, office or possibly at your office.
We’ll move forward in each meeting. I provide both marketing expertise and motivational coaching within each meeting.
Having worked with hundreds of clients over ten years, I’ve seen what works, what’s a waste of time, and what can backfire.
By the end of each meeting, your next steps will feel easy!
A three-month commitment to coaching is the most effective structure for ensuring long-term results. Maintenance plans are available after that initial start. Other arrangements may work in special cases.
Some of the time can be devoted to training and help with implementation. Our focus will be designed to fit your needs.
Where will you be 90 days from now with your marketing? Are you willing to achieve more — and have more ease?
My Approach
We can combine all three of these — and the combination is the secret to success!
- Thinking big.
- Keeping it simple.
- Being yourself.
Expected Outcomes
You’ll be working smarter, not harder…and you’ll have more fun.
If you follow the strategies we plan together (and you’ll have lots of support to do so!), you will:
- Build successful new business channels and strengthen existing ones.
- Feel confident that your web marketing and networking decisions are the most cost-effective and best fit for you.
- Turn free and low-cost networking opportunities into more leads, partnerships, and sales.
- Build a meaningful online audience that leads to increased income.
