Together, we turn vision into action and strategy into lasting impact.
Valda Valbrun is the quintessential systems thinker. She has an extraordinary ability to listen deeply, connect dots, and provide direction that is clear, compassionate, and supportive — always balancing professional growth with personal well-being. Valda pushes you to see beyond the current state, name the obstacles that hold you back, and design how to step forward with conviction.
I have worked with Valda as a school based leader through an executive leadership role. Valda’s coaching blends practical and professional wisdom with a core commitment to equity.
Through her awareness of the intersectional experiences of Black women in school district leadership and thought partnership, I navigated the complexities of a large scale reorganization without losing sight of my values or purpose. Valda’s influence on my leadership continues to remain impactful due to her commitment to equitable education opportunities for students and cultivating strong leaders such as myself. Valda’s work does not just change how you lead — it changes how you see yourself as a leader.
