Sandra is consistent in her attitude towards providing the facts and only the facts that are necessary to move individuals forward in attaining their personal and professional goals. I am very proud to know as a fellowToastmaster, collegue and friend.

Sandra comes to you with a lifetime of experience. Trained as a teacher, she uses these skills in all that she does to help others to advance and learn.
Her decades of service in Toastmasters International have helped her hone her speaking, leadership, and communication skills.
Her involvement in community provides an example of the importance of community in our lives; as a member of Grandmothers helping Grandmothers in Africa, helping new Canadians settle and climatize to our culture, guiding Toastmaster clubs in prisons, encouraging women in business to rise to the challenge of leadership and improve their job positions.
Sandra is well qualified to help you advance in your world.

Fun to work with. And if Sandra has something to say, she tells it to you straight with your best interests in mind so you can learn from it.

Sandra's zest for life and natural exuberance shows through in all her actions. She is a talented communicator with an ability to see through to the heart of a problem and suggest practical straight forward possible solutions. I have enjoyed knowing and conversing with her for some years now and always part with a smile and a fresh outlook. Sandra's own life experiences make her a natural as a life coach. Been there, done that and still standing!

Ever since we knew each other, you have brought out everything in me that I didn't know I had. You gave me the confidence to dream big and achieve scary and exciting goals. Working with you as my coach has shown me that everything is possible. You are a coach who is patient and who strives to bring the best out of people. The confidence you instilled in me showed me that I can be anything I want to be. I am glad we crossed paths.

Hi,

As a Communication Specialist, my calling is to help you bloom as an effective communicator and grow confident in unpacking the intricacies of money & complexities of emotional wellbeing.
I ask whoever is in need of finding clarity, strategies, action steps, etc in whatever you do or even in your personal life! Sandra Valks is the deal. Your life will never be the same!

The pleasure and pain of having worn many hats through this roller-coaster I call my life, has given me a sincere love and appreciation for the opportunity to spark joy and serve humanity till my last breath.
By pairing my compassionate straight-talk with my signature coaching process, I cut through the fluff to get to the meat of the matter that’s weighing you down, holding you back and entangling you in chains.
If you are coachable and truly ready to uncover your confidence in two key interconnected facets of your life (i.e., money and/or self-expression), then I’m a match for you.

It's important to her that you get what you need. She is a true humanitarian who really cares about people. On top of all her skills, she has a wonderful sense of humor, and is fun to be around! She has made a huge impact in my life, and I know I can call her anytime if I require more coaching.

Enhanced Care Clinician
Sandra is an astute listener and observer, able to see areas to improve in my presentation and business. And she’s fun! Just the other day I was in a zoom meeting and the way the computer was positioned I started to put my elbows on my desk. Her advice jumped into my mind and my elbows responded in kind, they promptly came down! I was then in a posture to better express myself. And during my masterclasses I make sure to stay relaxed and genuine to who I am, which is the best way I connect with others and am most effective. If you want honest, constructive coaching, then it’s Sandra, the Queen of Straight Talk!
