 Penelope
Valentine, CPC, is Founder of PARENT COACH TRAINERS ACADEMY and is a Certified Parent Coach as approved by the International Coach Federation. Penelope brings a solid professional background of more than thirty-five years working in areas as diverse as airlines, corporate, private sector and non-profit administration, treatment center, and private education.

Further, Penelope has received certification in coaching teens and college students with AD/HD from the Edge Foundation.
In 1987 Penelope made a major career and life-style change - moving from the corporate world to working with at-risk teens, young adults and their parents. She found a sense of fulfillment working in some of the country's premier emotional-growth schools and programs where she was instrumental in creating and developing a pioneer parent support and educational services department for parents of children enrolled in these specialty schools and programs.
After almost seven years running a successful parent coaching practice, Penelope turned her sights to training others to realize their dream of coaching parents who have struggling teens and young adults. She is the principal facilitator of the
PARENT COACH TRAINERS ACADEMY and is co-author, along with husband Bill, of the textbook used in this course
“It wasn’t supposed to be this way!”, Coaching for Parents of Struggling Teens and Young Adults.
After growing up and living in four foreign countries, Penelope has put her roots down in Redmond, Oregon. Penelope is a step-mother and step-grandmother. She and her husband, Bill, live in beautiful Central Oregon where she enjoys reading, gardening, the great outdoors and her pets.

 Bill Valentine, PsyD.,
CPC, is Founder of Ever Higher LLC. In 1987, after a successful thirty-year business career in fields as diverse as grain merchandising, publishing, advertising and outdoor adventure, Bill Valentine began a quest for opportunities to combine personal growth with service to others.
His search led him to a group of private, residential schools serving at-risk youth. It was here, in his work with hundreds of young people and their families as counselor, director of wilderness programs, academic dean, parent educator and Executive Director of California Operations, that Bill learned first hand of our children's greatest need - for models of healthy, growing adults.
Modeling his belief that "if you're not dead, you're not done", Bill obtained his Master of Arts degree in Education, his Doctor of Psychology degree, his professional ICF Coach Certification, completed three marathons and numerous triathlons, climbed more than 20 major mountains, and has completed the 2650 mile hike of The Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada - all after the age of 40.
In 2000, he started his third business, Ever Higher LLC, offering coaching, consulting, seminars, workshops and outdoor adventures to adults wanting to increase their successes as leaders, parents, partners and friends. Bill has challenged and led thousands of growing adults to personal summits through his workshops and seminars.
Bill is co-author of the textbook titled “It wasn’t supposed to be this way!”, Coaching for Parents of Struggling Teens and Young Adults and is a co-facilitator for the
PARENT COACH TRAINERS ACADEMY. Bill’s passion, expertise and knowledge for teaching is evident in all of the training.
