Description

You were born to thrive!

Successful students are made not born.

The consequences of NOT graduating college on time and of not learning the skills, strategies, and habits you need to achieve academic, professional and personal success could cost you a great deal.

My goal is to teach you the strategies, habits, and skills you need to achieve success in college and beyond. You will become a strategic thinker, confident, memorable, and influential.

College education should be fun, inspiring, and rewarding.

My Approach:

  • Action ready - apply what you learn immediately in the real world

  • Science based - we know it will work for you as it did for me and for million of people 

  • Fun and entertaining - teaching and learning should be fun  

  • Empowering - knowledge is power and with it you can change the world

How This Course Will Change Your Life:

  • You will discover your values and passions and use it to build your future

  • You will learn how to plan and set goals the SMART way

  • You will become a confident

  • You will become empowered to go after what you want

  • You will learn the strategies and skills to achieve anything in life


    We will take care of these "challenges" once and for all:

  • Set goals inspired by your values and interests

  • Low Confidence - Increase your confidence and speak up for what you believe

  • Low Grades - You'll learn the habits you need to get anything done

  • Feeling Less Smart - "Feeling Smart" it's all perception

  • Being Afraid to Speak Up - Not anymore

  • Fear of speaking in public - You'll become a professional speaker if you really want - it's all about practice and hard work

  • Low Energy Level - Manage time and your energy and you'll never run out of it

  • Replace I can't with I CAN - Mindsets of winners - you'll learn how to become one yourself

  • Believe that YOU deserve to be happy, healthy and successful - Believe it and you'll achieve it

You'll have an opportunity to design your success based on what you want and what makes you happy or someone else will do it for you. Excellent course."

This course was very easy to follow, and I learnt a great deal from it. Be aware that this is not a quick course that you can finish in a day, as its got lots of great content, and you will learn a great deal about yourself and your personality following the self-assessment assignments. Also understand that the principles taught are applicable to anyone and at any stage of their lives, not just for college students. Val is a great presenter who is passionate about her life and teaching these productivity skills and success principles to others. I highly recommend this course to anyone who is willing to change and improve the quality of their life.

Many people could benefit from this course, but I would especially recommend it to college students who have had difficulty pulling together all aspects of their situations and themselves in order to excel in college/university in order to improve their lives. Val understands what you are going through because she left her small family farm in Romania and came to the United States, earned a doctorate degree, and became a professor, author and speaker. This course addresses the top six areas of your life you will need to manage in order to be successful in college and then provides key of resources to implement the best strategies in each of the six areas. If you’ve been struggling in college, maybe even have dropped out, stop the trial and error approach to your life. Val can guide you! I highly recommend this course to those looking for an approach to college success and beyond.
