“Vallie was wonderful! She was swarmed with people wanting to speak with her after her talk.”

Meeting Planner

"Vallie Collins describes her experience onboard USAIR Flight 1549 in an extremely powerful message that is centered in servant leadership and a passion for living. Listening as she shares a detailed account of what she believed would be her final seconds on earth is both emotional and uplifting. Vallie is an inspiration and a constant reminder that "every day is a lucky day."

"Vallie Collins delivers a riveting account of her near death experience aboard US Airways Flight 1549 on January 15, 2009. She combines an articulate and objective description of the event along with her heartfelt and resolute realization of the precious nature of life. I enthusiastically look forward to hearing her speak again."

"Hearing Vallie's story validated and reiterated one of the Edfinancial Services HR Department's mantas: "Good Luck, Bad Luck! Who's to say?" Upon learning that an individual has experienced a plane crash into the cold Hudson River, one immediately thinks, "What an unlucky person?" Vallie is quick to share that she feels like 01/15/09 was one of the luckiest days of her life! With all the odds against the flight crew, fellow passengers, and her, each and every one of them survived. Good Luck, Bad Luck, who's to say? I highly recommend taking the time to experience Vallie's story with her. She kept 40+ Edfinancial Leaders on the edge of their seats!!"

"We have had Vallie speak at several of our conferences resulting in overwhelming positive comments and standing ovations. Every time, she received the highest marks of any speaker on our post conference surveys. Many times, later speakers reference some of her comments in their own presentations as poignant. I always receive requests for her contact information after a conference as someone wants to recommend her for other events they attend. Vallie is a pleasure to work with and has a powerful, moving story that everyone can benefit from hearing."
