About me
Welcome to my website!
My name is Valerie Woods. I am Canadian born and passionate about life! I love to travel and immerse myself in cultural and geographic diversity. I've been fortunate to have lived and worked in 3 countries: Canada, Kazakhstan and the United Kingdom. I love learning and I'm super curious about people and different perspectives, which is why coaching aligns with life's my purpose! I'm a proud mother of two grown children, and 'Nana' to two grandsons. My family and friends know me as an adventurer with many varied interests. I see myself as a life-long 'work-in-progress' with a keen desire to push myself as I relentlessly pursue the goal of being a better person. My sincerest hope is to inspire and support others who want to accelerate their own journey of possibilities and transformation!
Here's to you and your success!
Why I coach
Like most people, there are times when I feel overwhelmed, afraid, and exhausted by juggling life's responsibilities. This was never more true than the years when I was raising a family and concurrently going to university while also trying to build a solid career. I needed something to help me realize I could accomplish anything I set my mind to.
An opportunity came up to metaphorically face my fears, which ironically included a fear of heights. I took a leap of faith out of a perfectly good plane and ended up leaping into a phase of profound personal transformation that has changed my life and how I show up in the world.
By piercing my veil of fear, I discovered the courage to deal with life's challenges with confidence, joy, and the ability to make a difference. I also found my purpose in life: coaching others to help them find their purpose, their strengths, and their own path to transformation.
