Women of Valor (WOV) Lifestyle Coaching and Mentoring is a remote AND local initiative designed for young ladies ages 17 – 37 who understand their innate value and desire to walk in:Beauty, Intelligence, Strength, and Integrity.
There are many ways to “make it” in the world. Let us show you a more excellent way.
WOV is based on the “Queen Esther” model. It is a collectivistic model designed to counter today’s hedonistic culture.
Sell out…or a more excellent way.
Train yourself how to “walk the talk” of integrity.
Consider how far you might soar, if you could only spread your wings.
Get ready to enlarge your territory. This is the Queen Esther Model.
This is Women of Valor!
