Meet Valerie Taloni, The Goal Diva
Author, Facilitator, Certified Coach, and Solo Entrepreneur

My friends and clients call me The Goal Diva.  I am an expert in setting and achieving goals, and I can teach you how to do the same.

Whether it was making the Honor Roll all those years ago (could the 50 cents for every “A” I brought home have influenced me?), or being named to the President’s Club in my corporate years, I’ve always been compelled to produce results. So, it’s no surprise that I’ve come full-circle to a place where my focus is on teaching others how they can achieve their dreams.

I’ve been an entrepreneur three times, and spent a fair amount of time in the corporate world, where my career included sales, client management, consulting, and training.  As a former award-winning top producer at American Express, where I managed a national account team responsible for $350 million in revenues, I know firsthand what it takes to achieve results, and I love sharing that knowledge with my clients.

In the mid-90’s, I worked for a sales consulting and training firm, where I coached sales people individually, and delivered sales training workshops. That work made me realize how much pleasure I derive from helping others set and achieve their goals.

Through my company, All About Results LLC, I’ve been helping individuals, teams, and organizations achieve new levels of performance for over a dozen years. My clients have included corporate executives, teams at Fortune 500 companies, non-profits, entrepreneurs, CEOs of small businesses,  solo entrepreneurs and home-based business owners. 

My professional certifications include the Individual and Organizational Coaching Certification from the Hudson Institute of Santa Barbara and the Situational Leadership® certification, received when I was part of the business coaching team for the American Management Association. I am also a Certified Behaviors Analyst for DISC. I am a program leader and business coach for the highly regarded individual and team planning and implementation program, Best Year Yet®, which is the foundation of most of my work. I started my career as a teacher.

For most of the year, I live in sunny Florida with my husband, Adam, and our two cats, Hugo and Louie. Several years ago I set a goal to find and purchase a deserted cottage on a lake.  I achieved that goal. (You can read more about that little adventure in my goal setting book.) We’ve been spending summers in that tiny lakeside cottage in New Hampshire for 5 years now. I love my work, and there are so many other things I enjoy when I have the time, including golf –  though my handicap has been stuck for a while – designing and creating  jewelry, travel, cooking, and gardening. Working out to stay fit and healthy has an important place in my life. I love hiking in the summer and I teach Nordic Pole Walking on the beach in Florida in the winter.

I love hiking. Here I am at the top of Mt. Kearsarge.
