--- Quote ---Penelope Valentine, CC, is founder of NEXT STEP FOR SUCCESSSM and is a CTA Certified Coach.
Penelope brings a solid professional background of more than thirty-five years working in areas as diverse as airlines, corporate, private sector and non-profit administration, treatment center, and private education. Her educational background includes language studies, counseling, and alcohol and drug studies.
In 1987 Penelope made a major career and life-style change - moving from the corporate world to working with at-risk adolescents, young adults and their parents. She found a sense of fulfillment working in some of the country's premier emotional-growth schools and programs where she was instrumental in creating and developing a pioneer parent support and educational services department for parents of children enrolled in these specialty schools and programs. She has an in-depth knowledge of specialty school curriculum and teachings, of the challenges faced when making the decision to enroll a child or when transitioning out of these schools, and of the recovery process.
As a CTA Certified Coach Penelope brings her passion and expertise to her coaching so that each client can realize their goals and achieve fulfillment. It is her background as a counselor, teacher and administrator, along with her ability to guide, motivate and mentor, that gives Penelope unique skills.
Penelope is also co-founder of Ever Higher LLC and is responsible for the company's finance, marketing and logistics. Her talent for organization and logistical administration has supported more than a hundred workshops and seminars for Ever Higher LLC.
After growing up and living in five foreign countries, Penelope has put her roots down in Redmond, Oregon. Penelope is a step-mother and step-grandmother. She and her husband, Bill, live in beautiful Central Oregon, where she enjoys gardening, the great outdoors and her pets.
Bill Valentine, PsyD., CC, is founder of Ever Higher LLC. In 1987, after a successful thirty-year business career in fields as diverse as grain merchandising, publishing, advertising and outdoor adventure, Bill Valentine began a quest for opportunities to combine personal growth with service to others.
His search led him to a group of private, residential schools serving at-risk youth. It was here, in his work with hundreds of young people and their families as counselor, director of wilderness programs, academic dean, parent educator and Executive Director of California Operations, that Bill learned first hand of our children's greatest need - for models of healthy, growing adults.
Modeling his belief that "if you're not dead, you're not done", Bill obtained his Master of Arts degree in Education, his Doctor of Psychology degree, his professional Coach Certification, completed three marathons and numerous triathlons, climbed more than 20 major mountains, and is 1800 miles into his walk of The Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada - all after the age of 40.
In 2000, he started his third business, Ever Higher LLC, offering coaching, consulting, seminars, workshops and outdoor adventures to adults wanting to increase their successes as leaders, parents, partners and friends. Bill has challenged and led thousands of growing adults to personal summits through his workshops and seminars.
Dr. Bill Valentine has 17 years sobriety. He is a father and a grandfather, and lives in Redmond, Oregon, with his wife Penelope.
