Testimonials & Reviews
I never take it for granted when someone shares how our work has helped them. Hearing directly from clients in their own words is the most rewarding part of what I do.
Below are some reviews and testimonials left on the Valadd Coaching Bark.com and Noomii.com profiles.

I had the privilege of working with Mr. Killens as a leadership mentor for over a decade, and the experience has been truly transformative. He brings a wealth of knowledge, strategic insight, and a results-driven approach that has significantly enhanced my leadership skills. (Read more…)
10/5 stars. LaSchwann helped me sort through two of the most challenging times in my life: struggles with post-traumatic stress disorder and navigating a major change in career fields. One thing I highly value with LaSchwann is is brevity and clarity. He doesn’t pull punches and will tell you the hard facts others might water down. Absolutely recommend his services and would seek them out again in the future.
In 2021 and 2022, I had the privilege of being coached by LaSchwann Killens in the Warrior Path program at Boulder Crest Arizona. This program is designed to help veterans like myself work through PTSD and strive for post-traumatic growth. LaSchwann was an amazing coach throughout the program. He was caring, peaceful, and assertive, exactly the kind of presence needed in this work. (Read More…)
While LaSchwann and I connected in a peer setting, it was immediately apparent that his authenticity and impeccable communication skills allowed for a much deeper connection that has contributed a mentoring/ coaching companionship. Through this relationship, I have been able to challenge long help belief systems and shift perspective, allowing for a more solution focused approach to life and the struggles it offers. I am grateful for our relationship and will continue to seek his mentorship.
Back in 2009 we were deployed to Iraq. I went through a very difficult time with a traumatic personal experience. Chief (Casper) was extremely supportive. He gave me guidance and a shoulder to cry on while also giving me the space to cope and seek counseling to help through my situation. He’s always been calm and collected and has constantly made himself readily available for anyone under his charge that needed guidance or advice.
[…]When LaSchwann retired from the army immediately came to work at the school house where the army trains new soldiers to qualify to be imagery analysts. During that time, even though he was no longer in uniform, he still provided the same level of care as a mentor and coach. Coaching and mentoring are in LaSchwann’s blood. He has a gift. (Read more…)
