Close Up Radio Spotlights Valerie Hope of Connect to Joy LLC

Dallas, TX – Valerie Hope is an accomplished leadership coach, podcaster, and founder of Connect to Joy, LLC. She supports global executives and mid-level managers to maximize performance and leverage their growth mindset to create positive change.

Valerie emphasizes her Three C’s for leadership success. First, leaders must be Conscious, meaning they must acknowledge their own beliefs, be mindful of their reactions, and have a clear and compelling vision. They know what they are committed to, and how that impacts the way they lead their team. The second is leaders must be Connected. Leaders must not only connect to themselves but also to others. “When we connect to ourselves,” Valerie says, “we readily identify strengths and our talents, we can leverage our unique perspectives, and facilitate extraordinary teams. When they connect with other people, they foster open communication and build sustainable relationships.” The third is leaders must be Creative. This opens up opportunities for new ways to solve problems, address complexities, and achieve goals in innovative ways. This maximizes their potential as well as their team’s potential.

A powerful keynote speaker, Valerie is also the host of her own successful podcast “Not quite Strangers,” where she invites individuals, who don’t know one another and come from different backgrounds and cultures into a conversation which proves that even strangers can establish a meaningful connection.

“My role is to guide and support people to become better leaders.”
