The Patisserie

I’ve had the pleasure of participating in The Alternative Board (TAB) Hawaii. I was privileged to openly exchange issues and perspectives with a team of very accomplished businessmen and businesswomen. The TAB forums were an invaluable experience to get candid and insightful feedback from powerful leaders in our community. Valerie is always prepared, an excellent facilitator and brings a lot of insightful content for everyone to benefit from. I would highly recommend TAB for any business owner interested in taking their business to new levels.

CFO Hawaii

My husband and I started our business some 20 years ago. We had talent and passion but we’d been running it by brail. Now, at a year into our relationship with Valerie, we’re systematized, our inquiries have quadrupled and we’ve got a team in place to handle it. Before Valerie (B.V.) we didn’t know what we didn’t know. We were so busy trying to keep up that we hadn’t taken the time to look objectively at what we were doing, and whether we were actually happy doing it. The business was running us rather than the other way round. Currently, we’re enjoying what we do like never before. We take pride in the service we provide and it feels good to have such momentum toward a well defined common goal.
