Katherine Putnam, Miss Louisiana 2009,
Third Runner-up Miss America 2010
“I wanted to develop my fullest potential in interview, and I knew from the moment I first spoke with Valerie that she would help me reach that goal. Valerie adapted to my learning style, and actually broke down the most challenging political issues and their entire histories into a storybook format! Interview became something I looked forward to, and as weeks passed, I began to see significant results in the way I thought, spoke, and delivered my opinions. I was focused, confident, and fully prepared to handle the Miss America interview. Valerie Hayes is the best of the best!”
Hannah Brewer, Miss Appalachia’s Outstanding Teen 2011, Second Runner-up , Overall Interview Winner at Miss Maryland’s Outstanding Teen 2011
“Can I just say AMAZING?!?! Anyone lucky enough to get Valerie for an interview coach is blessed. I’ve worked with Valerie for 2 years and have gone from inexperienced to 2nd Runner-up and Overall Interview Winner in the Miss Maryland Outstanding Teen program. Valerie has always been there when I needed her and has helped me to deal with many interviews successfully and with complete confidence. She has also helped me to market myself as a titleholder. I certainly attribute my success to you, Valerie!”
Brandy Wendler, Mrs. Alaska United States 2011
“Despite the fact that I live in Alaska (over 4,200 miles away), Valerie was able to do long-distance coaching with me over the phone, though e-mails and Skype. I was a little hesitant about long-distance coaching but it was worth every penny! Valerie’s coaching gave me the support and confidence I needed to compete in a state pageant. I had never competed in pageants before and I didn’t know much about the pageant world but, with her help, my experience was amazing! I was able navigate my first pageant ever and win the title! Valerie’s advice and knowledge are invaluable and I could never have become so well-spoken and graceful without her.
As a busy Human Resources executive, a career as a pageant coach was the furthest thing from my mind. I worked every day coaching executives on their interviewing and communications skills as well as their professional development. Then a family friend asked me to coach a contestant that had been coached by two well-known pageant coaches but still couldn’t handle her interview. I worked with her for just 6 weeks and she went on to win her very next pageant and later that year captured her state Teen USA title. Soon her friends, and friends-of-friends, were calling for help to prepare for their pageant interview too! Before I knew it, word-of-mouth took over and now I’m one of the more recognized and successful pageant interview coaches in pageantry.
I’ve been featured on NBC, appeared multiple times on CNN’s Headline News, and been interviewed by the New York Times about breaking news and developing issues. I’ve appeared on live national and international broadcasts sharing my analysis of news stories and now I’m sharing that analysis with YOU!
I’ve coached hundreds of contestants and I’ve proven that ANYONE can handle Current Events questions. Whether you’re a Teen, Miss, Mrs. or Ms. you’ll get the information you need to feel totally prepared for those challenging current events questions.
Melissa Pocza, Mrs. Texas United States 2011, 3rd Runner-up Mrs. United States 2011, Mrs. Texas America 2009. Miss Michigan United States 2002
“I’m truly thankful for having the privilege of working with Valerie Hayes! She assisted me in focusing on the best me! Not changing or altering my motives or intentions or who I am as a woman… but highlighting my true self! By doing this, she contributed to my success in pageant interviews but also my success in understanding relations and reactions of people in my everyday life! Her classification of ” types of Judges” is right on! Thank you, Valerie!”
