Hi, I'm Velma

I learned a systematic approach to Developing Valuable Leaders in a unique way. 

When I was a young girl working in The Bahamas, I thought I knew what being a leader was all about. But I didn’t!

At each stage of my career, fueled with passion and potential, I found myself delivering successful projects, but deficient in people skills. Struggling to lead, communicate, and collaborate, I knew something needed to change. And it did.

I got fired!

It took 10 years for me to realize that being a valuable leader is less about projects and more about people. With relentless determination, I poured myself into leadership training, executive coaching, studying human behavior, and pursuing various certifications.

Armed with a new set of skills and a renewed purpose, as a Vice President of a multi-million-member association, I led one of the largest membership growth turnarounds in the history of the organization. 

Today, I have the honor of taking all the training and lessons I’ve learned to help organizations develop their leaders and teams with a culture focused on driving sustainable growth. 

Let’s Connect!
