About me

Valerie Laventure, CRHA

Because trust is born from mutual understanding, and authenticity is rooted in solid foundations, I invite you to explore the path that shaped who I am.

I am a seasoned HR professional with over 13 years of experience, having held key roles as an HR Business Partner, Specialist Advisor, and Consultant. Over the years, I have worked closely with leadership teams to address complex challenges in employee relations, talent development, change management, and organizational transformation.

Throughout my career, I have guided professionals and leaders in developing their leadership skills, navigating transitions, and overcoming challenges with resilience. My expertise in problem-solving, team mobilization, and strategic growth initiatives has allowed me to act as a trusted advisor in high-impact environments.

Yet, beyond strategies and business processes, my true passion lies in the evolution of individuals, guiding them with wisdom and compassion through their transformative journeys.

A Holistic Approach to Career and Personal Growth

Over time, I have realized that career development cannot be separated from personal well-being. Each individual is a whole, and every transition—whether professional or personal—requires an approach that considers both the rational and the intuitive, the tangible and the unseen.

My own life experiences have shaped my understanding of transformation:

Motherhood has taught me patience, adaptability, and resilience, giving me unique insight into balancing performance and well-being.
Grief has reshaped my priorities, deepening my ability to help others find clarity and purpose in times of transition.
Single parenthood has strengthened my independence and resilience, allowing me to support individuals facing their own challenges with courage, confidence, and clarity.

These experiences have led me to integrate personal development and spiritual tools into my coaching, providing a comprehensive approach that truly embraces the whole individual.

Whether you are:

An emerging HR professional looking for mentorship and career guidance
In a career transition, seeking clarity and alignment with your deeper aspirations
On a path of personal growth, interested in exploring tools such as astrology, numerology, or other spiritual frameworks

… my mission is to guide you with compassion, structure, and depth toward lasting transformation.

A Tailored Coaching Experience, Rooted in Wisdom and Strategy

My academic, professional, and personal journey has shaped me into a dedicated coach and advisor. I believe in an approach that blends corporate expertise with personal growth strategies, as true alignment is found in the balance of structure and self-awareness.

Today, I am honored to share my experience and insights with you. Whether your journey is professional or deeply personal, I am here to support you in reclaiming confidence, clarity, and fulfillment.
