Myers has analyzed leadership and management practices in various types of organizations and industries. She uses those insights to coach leaders in their quest to "transcend typical," refine their skills, and navigate complexity with strategic wisdom and positive relationships that produce results.

Surprising results of Valerie's research study that examined organizational climate, diversity management, and errors in healthcare led her to focus on leaders' behavior rather than staff training. With continuous research and refinements in the MBA classroom, she equips change champions to lead at all levels (e.g., institutions, organizational culture, teams).
Through exhaustive research, Myers discovered that a calling is more than passion or prosocial intent -- it's a commitment to produce great work! Therefore, pursuit of a calling is a catalyst for engaged workers and good business that serves society. Notably, a calling is cultivated in or constrained by institutions throughout one's life. Myers presented these findings in her book, business case, at academic conferences, and keynote addresses. Are you living your calling?>>>
Dr. Myers' research has been funded by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Foundation, the Center for Healthcare Research and Transformation, and the Walter McNerny Foundation. It has focused on the topics above and was conducted in hospitals, public health, and safety net organizations. She transfers these insights to other industries.
