Valerie Tremblay is a dynamic speaker, executive coach, and facilitator with over 25 years of experience guiding leaders through complexity, building resilience, and thriving in a rapidly changing world. With a proven track record as a former Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) at billion-dollar corporations, she brings deep insight into leading through uncertainty, cultivating high-performance cultures, and driving meaningful transformation.

In this episode, Jason and Valerie discuss:

• Maintaining an optimistic mindset during life’s volatility
• Personal resilience through major life challenges and loss
• Process of navigating and adapting to change effectively
• Finding freedom in letting go of physical attachments
• Building psychological safety and resilience amid rapid transformations like AI

Key Takeaways: 

• Cultivating resilience and a high-performing mindset is not just beneficial but essential for leading through uncertainty and enacting meaningful change.
• Personal hardships like divorce, relocation, and the loss of possessions are reframed not as defeats but as catalysts for growth, showcasing resilience as a mindset rooted in optimism and adaptability.
• Rather than resisting disruption, a methodical approach to change is embraced—acknowledging emotions, shifting perspectives, and advancing through small, intentional steps that foster momentum.
• In choosing to detach from material possessions after a natural disaster, an unexpected liberation is uncovered, reinforcing the psychological strength found in minimalism and emotional clarity.
• With AI and rapid transformation shaping the future, success hinges on staying anchored in possibilities, leaning into relationships, and remaining open to evolving through each wave of change.

“Sometimes life throws you off course—not because you’ve failed, but because that path wasn’t meant for you. It’s frustrating—your time, energy, and heart were all in it. But shifts happen. And suddenly, you’re somewhere else entirely. The key? Keep your mind in believing places.”
