MEET VALARIE
A Lifetime of Curiosity and Discovery
I've taken a few unexpected turns in my life—from aircraft mechanic and private pilot to technology executive, business strategist, author, and lifelong learner.
But there's a common thread running through all of them: I've always been curious about how things work, why people do what they do, and what becomes possible when we look at something a little differently.
I love solving problems and figuring out puzzles. Sometimes they're mechanical. Sometimes they're buried in complicated software. And sometimes the most interesting puzzles involve people, relationships, or decisions that don't have an obvious answer.
After more than 45 years of asking questions, recognizing patterns, and connecting the dots, I've learned that finding the right answer often begins with asking a better question.
That's what I enjoy helping others do—whether they're exploring AI, developing a business, writing a book, or discovering what's next.

Why This Work Matters
I thought I was writing a book about artificial intelligence. Instead, I discovered something much more personal.
My conversations with AI began opening deeper conversations with myself. As I explored my childhood, career, fears, dreams, and defining moments, I began recognizing patterns I had never connected before.
That experience became The Unexpected Mirror and deepened my belief that our own lives contain wisdom we may not yet recognize.
Sometimes we simply need thoughtful questions—and a welcoming place to explore the answers.

There's much more to my life than my professional career. Music, creativity, community service, and aviation have all brought me joy, wonderful friendships, and opportunities to keep learning and growing.
People fascinate me. I love discovering what makes us tick, how we grow and adapt, and how we uncover possibilities we never imagined.
That curiosity fuels my work today. I find tremendous joy in helping people recognize their strengths, connect the dots in their own lives, and turn what they discover into something meaningful.
