"Valor is a gamechanger"

5/5

What do you like best about Valor?

1:1 sessions with a coach who gets to know you and helps you define your goals (huge s/o to Niki for being positive, honest, and overall great). It's helpful to have someone to bounce ideas off of and explore tactics to make you a more effective and better coworker, leader, friend. This was the first time I've worked somewhere with a sponsored coaching program, and it has made me feel valued and seen.

As a business it's easy to spend time on business problems - but working on delivery, presentation skills, confidence, some of those softer skills is really impactful across the org, Valor can help with that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Valor?

I wish I had used the resources in the Valor Platform more. There's a wealth of exercises and presentations to look through, but it is hard to prioritize Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"You haven't taught until they've learned."

4.5/5

What do you like best about Valor?

First and foremost, I was matched with the perfect coach - Paul Ashbrook and I have a lot in common so we were able to discuss management concepts not only as they relate to the work environment but also outside of it in our personal lives. This was extremely useful in helping me to connect the dots on some of the more complex discussions we had. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Valor?

Not Applicable.I thought the content and discussions were useful and I learnt a lot . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Valor solving and how is that benefiting you?

My focus when I signed up for these sessions was very specific on how to pass the concept of accountability and ownership on to my team - In my sessions with Dr. Paul, which covered numerous topics around how this could be achieved, the main thing that stood out was the idea of having a very clearly defined mission and making sure that everyone on my team actually knows WHY that mission is important.

"Valor Coaching is a game changer!"

5/5

What do you like best about Valor?

I started working with Valor in 2019. HubSpot signed on to have their top-performing managers work 1:1 with a Valor coach over the course of 9 months. My coach Paul Ashbrook has been amazing to work with, and is the ultimate accountability partner. There is a tremendous amount of value to having a performance coach that works outside of your organization. I enjoyed the coaching so much that I opted to use HubSpot's tuition reimbursement program to continue my Valor coaching after the initial 9 month period. Valor coaching helped me develop a performance mindset, taught me how to avoid burnout, and helped me with goal setting/accountability. I would highly recommend Valor to any business professional that is looking to level up as a leader. In the 2+ years of working with Valor, I've also had the pleasure of interacting with Valor founder Sarah Milby, and Director of Sales Tim Mann. The Valor team truly cares about the success of everyone that joins their program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Valor solving and how is that benefiting you?

Valor has helped me develop a performance mindset, taught me how to avoid burnout, and helped me with goal setting/accountability. Before working with Valor, I was "successful" in my role, but I knew that I could be better. My coach Paul Ashbrook helped me take a big lofty goal, break it down into smaller goals, and hold myself accountable daily as I worked toward the bigger picture.

"World class coaching at a strikingly affordable price"

5/5

What do you like best about Valor?

The Valor coaching platform sets up a unique technology-enabled coaching experience for leaders. They have genuinely world-class coaches focused on optimizing your performance mindset in business. The coaching is framed by a set of core competencies that were easily transferable to our business. Since coaching is at its essence a 1 on 1 relationship, Valor does a great job pairing leaders with coaches. Occasionally, a leader/coach match might not work out, and the Valor team has always stepped right up to switch a coach. What I like the most is that it works. The leaders we have put through the Valor program have become observably better at leading their teams due to the coaching they have received. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Valor?

The only real downside has less to do with Valor and more to do with the person being coached. As the saying goes, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. The same is true here. You can enroll a leader in the Valor program, but there is no guarantee that person will take the coaching onboard and practice the new skills they may be introduced to or adopt the mindset that can allow them to be more effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Valor solving and how is that benefiting you?

Valor solves two key problems for us. The first is providing leaders with outside perspective and expertise. This is particularly useful for leaders that have risen within the organization. Getting outside perspective helps them broaden their leadership approach in meaningful ways. The second is around leader retention. It is essential to continue to invest in the development of our leaders. Contracting with individual leadership coaches can be prohibitively expensive. Valor provides us a cost-effective solution for supporting our leadership develpment efforts. The leaders we invest in stay longer and make more meaningful contributions to our success.

"Great platform and even better coaches!"

5/5

What do you like best about Valor?

Valor is different from any other coaching experience I've had. Easy to use platform for online sessions and trainings, and the live coaching sessions are great. I really valued the outsider perspectives which helped me think through some challenges I was dealing with differently. After just a few sessions, I felt like I had already gained a lot of helpful tips to take with me in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Valor?

I didn't dislike anything, but you have to commit time to yourself to complete exercises before the coaching sessions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Valor solving and how is that benefiting you?

In a fast-paced, growing start-up, your time and attention can be pulled in different directions, and my Valor coach helped me take a step back and look at one thing at a time. She helped me look at challenges in a different way and gave me more confidence in my decision-making. I always came out of the coaching sessions feeling less stressed and motivated to tackle the challenges we talked about that day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Definitely worth the investment for those serious about growing in all aspects of life"

5/5

What do you like best about Valor?

The Valor programs and coaching helped me and my team optimize our professional performances during unprecedented work conditions in 2020. Valor has also helped each of us focus on priorities and accomplishing goals not just at work but life responsibilities outside of work (family, health, etc.). I believe that Valor has also played a key role in driving positive employee feedback results as we’ve continued to expand our partnership over the last 2 years. In my opinion, the best part of valor offerings is that they can be consumed in many different ways (structured programs, readings, live coaching) to benefit the individual's preference of learning & collaboration.

"Valor High Performance Coaching"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Valor?

Valor has an incredible bench of former Olympic Athletes and high-performance coaches. They have an excellent system for coaching individuals through a proven program. We've had many area vice presidents who have benefitted from learning values endurance, emotional flexibility, and self-awareness power. Our leaders have grown, learned to recover and thrive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Valor?

Onboarding leaders in a hectic world can be challenging and impact slow until they commit to a regular cadence of online learning and 1:1 live coaching. They really can accelerate once they commit. Its long term opportunity for their growth and the people they lead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
