Lee Vallely: How can our listeners conquer social anxiety?

By admin on November 11, 2022

Early in life, Lee Vallely believed some very limiting beliefs, that he was a fraud, unworthy, and didn’t belong. Some people actually thought he may be autistic, as he hardly ever spoke. Not a great start. However, this actually created an insatiable thirst for knowledge, particularly in positive psychology, and mindset creation of all aspects. He became a bookworm, reading well over a thousand non fiction books, a seminar junkie, and obsessed with more knowledge of the working of the mind. Lee is now a living example of what he teaches, and coaches others to have the best life possible. Lee Vallely is a Certified Health Coach, Recovery Coach, and certified hypnosis and NLP Trainer. Lee brings a wealth of knowledge as a highly experienced Health Coach, transformational speaker and coach.
