Jamie Valvano fondly remembers her Dad sharing anecdotes from a transformative speech from his youth. The guest speaker at his basketball camp, Reverend Bob Richards, uttered, “God must have loved ordinary people because he made so many of us. But ordinary people accomplish the extraordinary.” That day, a seed was planted inside Jim Valvano, forever changing how he lived his life.

Today, Jamie Valvano continues her father’s message as she shares the three essential elements of living an extraordinary existence. She assists individuals in formulating  bold, audacious visions, gathering a united team, and finding the power to persevere. Teams will walk away unified as Jamie reveals the lessons that have allowed her to find purpose. 

Jamie is boldly authentic as she describes the journey to her “cutting down the nets” victories. However, you will feel a deeper connection to the emotional resilience she discovered in the midst of her struggles. She follows her father’s instructions and moves her audience to laugh, think, and cry. Individuals will reconnect with their divine vision and believe in their own extraordinary.
