Valerie Martinelli
Valerie Martinelli is a Career Leadership Coach and the CEO of Valerie Martinelli Consulting, an award-winning coaching and consulting business, since 2016. VMC helps mid and senior-level executives land new roles, cultivate careers, and earn massive salary increases between $15K- $60K using 1:1 and group coaching strategies.
Valerie is a co-author of the #1 International bestselling book “Ready Connect Grow: Grow Your Business Through the Power of Your Connections”.

What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
I support Mid and Senior Executives in landing a new role in my comprehensive 4-month program. My coaching is different because I do not solely focus on a client’s career materials. I also provide guidance and strategy on finding fulfillment and passion in a career, avoiding burnout in a job search, and career path planning. I also teach clients how to properly negotiate a job offer to increase their salary. This has helped clients increase salaries between $15K-$60K on their job offers.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
The most critical thing that has contributed to my success as a coach is the coaching that I have received. It consistently provides me with the accountability that I need to grow my business and serve my clients to the level that they deserve. It has also provided me growth and learning opportunities so I can continue to bring my best each day, help others shine, and advance their careers.
