VALERIE CADE BIOGRAPHY

Valerie Cade has earned worldwide acclaim as a professional keynote speaker and business consultant.  Valerie truly has a gift for inspiring those who work to support and lead others, whether it’s in healthcare, government, the corporate sector, education or not‐for‐profit settings. Her uplifting, inspirational and acclaimed presentation style always inspires the audience with practical solutions for teamwork, communication, workplace culture, leadership, conflict resolution and productivity.

1 out of 6 people have come face to face with a bully in their life.  Bullying has become a silent epidemic. Valerie brings hope for organizations and individuals to overcome destructive bullying and harassment behaviours by colleagues. The “winning with difficult people” strategies do not work with workplace bulling or highly adversarial situations.

In fact, traditional conflict resolution doesn’t work either, yet this is what people try to apply- but to no avail. Valerie Cade’s presentations are enthusiastic, engaging, creative, humorous and genuine. She gives attention and takes pride in researching each client’s situation to tailor her presentation to meet and exceed audience member needs and aspirations.

Valerie Cade is an award-winning presenter who is one of North America’s top experts in the field of coping with and stopping workplace bullying. She is author of the best selling book “Bully Free at Work: What You Can Do To Stop Workplace Bullying Now” which is currently distributed in over 100 countries. With a solid organizational development background, not purely an academic or an “opinion based” approach, Valerie’s style is not only informational, but inspirational; you will feel hope to turn the corner – even with the most challenging situations.

Valerie’s 20 years of experience as a relevant and results based implementation practitioner have had her sought after by organizations throughout North America. For the past 20 years, Cade has led hundreds of sessions throughout North America, Europe, China and Russia, with a relevant, humorous and heartfelt approach combined with a true sense of wisdom. She has a stand up comedian presence while still talking seriously and strategically about the realities and implementation of workplace bullying in organizations.

In addition, Valerie Cade became a Certified Speaking Professional Designation (CSP) in 2001. The CSP is the highest speaking designation in the world with less than 1000 recipients worldwide. She is one of the Canada’s first females to receive the CSP. Valerie’s presentation ratings average 4.9/5.0 for all size audiences. As CEO of one of Canada’s largest training companies for 10 years, Valerie helped turn this near-­‐bankrupt company into profitable success. In addition, her work in creating inspired workplaces, where people “want to”, helped raise satisfaction levels in organizations to over 80 – 90% -­‐ sustained.

Valerie Cade was the 2002 National President of the Canadian Association of Professional Speakers and has received the President’s Award for distinguished service – twice! She was also unanimously voted by the National Board to receive the “Spirit of CAPS” Award for her outstanding contribution and professionalism to the speaking industry worldwide.

Cade understands dedication as she is the first woman to receive the Top Candidate Award for Canadian Basic Military Training. Valerie Cade has a genuine passion for helping people and organizations to become world class and receive the respect and dignity they deserve. Above all Valerie Cade is knowledgeable, well‐researched and can deliver powerful presentations in an inspirational way. Valerie is genuine and possesses a great amount of compassion. Her presentations offer audiences and individuals solutions to improve communication, become more resilient and deal with conflicts in the workplace in a calculated and constructive approach.

Penny Mickanuck

Executive Director The John Howard Society of Grande Prairie

We were very impressed with the content of Valerie’s presentation and her depth of knowledge; we also very much enjoyed and benefitted from her delivery style which captivated the room. There was much anticipation before the 90 minute session and Valerie did not disappoint! The content was understandable and direct, and Valerie really helped humanize and organize a topic that is often hard to approach and get your arms around. We highly recommend Valerie for her well-researched content as well as her amiable and appealing delivery style. In fact, we have had several requests to have Valerie join us again for another session next year. We look forward to having her back.

Gudrun McLean

First of all Valerie, may I once again thank you for your outstanding preparation, “above the bar” presentation with awesome style and relevance, and the complete acceptance and admiration of each and every one of our Pharmacy group attendees at our conference. Over the past 18 years, you are the first one who helped us not only gain an insight in going from “first class to world class”, who adrenalized our motivations to come forward, but most importantly, made us feel better about ourselves. And you did it in such a naturally genuine “conversational” style. Thank you!
