Valery Satterwhite

Author, Consultant & Mentor.

Personal Summary:

Having had to bail her famed neuro-psychiatrist father out of jail and face a media frenzy Valery knows first hand some of the unique challenges that come from fame, fortune and the fickle finger of fate. The holy grail of public notoriety for talent, contribution and significance can come packaged with the stress and challenge of unrealistic expectations and impossible demands upon ones soul. While a positive public image takes years to build it can all come crashing down in a matter of seconds with one misguided deed.

It was painful to watch her father ruin his lucrative and esteemed career, along with his sense of pride, as a result of the pressure and perils that came with achieving his potential. Woefully unprepared for his good fortune, he didn't have a strong enough inner compass to guide him through the storm.

It was at that moment that Valery declared privately to herself: "For the love of cookies, I will do what it takes to help others leverage, rather than be overrun, by their achievement."

Valery leveraged her education, training and experience in supporting CEO's and entrepreneurs build and maintain reputable brands into personal brand management and peak performance mindset training. She supports those who find themselves willingly and unwilling thrown into the spotlight and the unique challenges that come with ubiquitous public and media attention. Valery also guides those who aspire fame and are seriously committed to building their brand persona while staying grounded, inspired and admired in the process.

Valery lives and plays by the beach in Los Angeles with her photographer husband, Al Satterwhite, a good bottle of wine and two Zen Masters - her two cats born in the storm of Hurricane Katrina.
