Serial Entrepreneur, Corporate Contributor, Motivator
Dr. Valerie “Val” McDonald is a Confidence and Transitional Life Coach whose mission is to help individuals rediscover their power, rebuild their identity, and rise into their next chapter with clarity and courage. As a proud Howard University alumna, her coaching philosophy is rooted in intentional growth, authenticity, and the belief that every transition is an invitation to elevate.
​
Having lived across the country and navigated numerous personal and professional transformations, Dr. McDonald brings lived experience, empathy, and strategy to her coaching practice. She specializes in helping clients who are facing major life pivots—whether relocation, reinvention, career transitions, identity shifts, or rediscovering self after loss, burnout, or new beginnings.
​
Her work centers on building confidence from the inside out, guiding her clients to embrace who they are naturally while equipping them with mindset tools to pursue who they are becoming. Passionate about helping both youth and adults, she empowers each person to pursue excellence, purpose, and alignment with their true path.
The motto that she lives by daily derives from the late Dr. Benjamin E. Mays: "Whatever you do, strive to do it so well that no man living and no man dead, and no man yet to be born can do it any better."
