"Myself and coworkers have had the pleasure of attending multiple speaking engagements Carla Valles has delivered, and she exceeded every expectation. If your organization is looking for a speaker who can genuinely connect with an audience, inspire practical change, and leave people feeling uplifted and energized, Carla is the speaker you want. What sets Carla apart is the unique way she blends humor, personal storytelling, faith and her own powerful life journey into a message that resonates with absolutely everyone in the room. She doesn't just talk to people, she engages them, relates to them, and brings them along on a journey with her in a way that feels authentic, uplifting and deeply motivating. Her stories are heartfelt and impactful, yet she delivers them with a warmth that make even the hardest topics approachable. She has a gift to make people laugh, reflect, and walk away with actionable insights that continue to inspire long after the event ends. Our team left the workshop feeling more connected, more hopeful, and more empowered to face challenges both professionally and personally. Several attendees agreed that Carla was "the best" speaker we've had" and requested her to speak again at future events.

If your business or organization is looking for someone who inspires genuine transformation, and does it with grace, humor and heart then book Carla. You will not regret it.

There are countless things I can credit Ms. Carla Valles with when it comes to my personal and professional development. I met her over 10 years ago when I signed up to be a mentor for Elyria High School students. A decade later, she has continued to mentor and guide me into my role as an RBT Supervisor at the school that I now proudly call home. Ms. Valles encouraged me to return to school to pursue my degree and helped me build the confidence to thrive in a professional world where I once believed I didn't belong. She is the true definition of resilience, and that strength reflects in everyone she invests in. She has dedicated her life to demonstrating the importance of accountability and showing others that it is never too late to follow through on your goals. I have had the remarkable honor of working side by side with this incredible woman, learning from her as she leads by example. If you or your organization have the opportunity to learn from Carla Valles, I strongly recommend taking advantage of it sooner rather than later.

Carla Valles is truly an exceptional individual, wonderful in spirit and genuinely personable in every interaction. She has a rare ability to make people feel seen, valued and encouraged, whether in a classroom, professional setting, or everyday conversation. Carla has taught numerous classes, that I have attended, on professionalism and personal growth, and her impact is undeniable. She doesn't just teach concepts, she lives them. Through her guidance, she empowers others to better themselves, sharpen their skills, and develop the confidence and character needed to be successful both at work and in life. Her lessons go beyond career development, focusing on integrity, accountability, and purposeful growth.

What sets Carla apart is her authenticity and dedication to helping others to reach their full potential. She leads with compassion and wisdom. Anyone who has had the opportunity to learn from or work with Carla is better for it.
