For over 20 years Val Van Brocklin has been winning hearts, inspiring action and helping people find greater meaning in the work they do.  She got here through a unique combination of skills, education and “in the trenches” experience -- all fueled by her own passion for people who have chosen to serve others.

Val had a teaching career before she earned her law degree at the University of Virginia and stalked high adventure in Alaska – joining the Anchorage District Attorney’s Office. She quickly became a senior trial attorney.  Because of her notable work, Val was asked to join the state’s Office of Special Prosecution & Appeals where she had state-wide responsibility for cases that were so complex they required specialized investigative and prosecution efforts.  Val’s endeavors again caught attention. She was recruited by the U.S. Attorney’s Office to prosecute complex white collar crime, for which she received the FBI’s commendation.

As a state and federal prosecutor for over 10 years, Val’s trial work sparked not only ample, local media coverage but was also featured nationally on

• ABC’S PRIMETIME LIVE
• Discovery Channel’s Justice Files
• In USA Today, The National Enquirer and REDBOOK.

Throughout her career as a prosecutor, Val’s dynamic presention style made her a frequently invited speaker for law enforcement and other professional and community groups.  It also left her fielding many more speaking requests than she could possibly meet -- prosecuting criminals is a full-time job.  And so, another adventure presented itself."   

Described by Calibre Press as “the indisputable master of enter~ train~ment,” Val is now an internationally sought keynote speaker, trainer, workshop leader and author.

• Her training programs can be seen on the Law Enforcement Television Network, one of which won a prestigious 2000 Telly Award that honors outstanding cable television and the finest video and film productions.
• Her Public Radio commentaries and stories include a 2005 national award winner.
• Her writing has been featured in:
        Police Chief magazine
        The Law Enforcement Trainer
        Calibre Press Online Street Survival Newsletter
        Alaska magazine
        And the 2005 edition of the book SOLO: On Her Own Adventure.

Val is married to a very understanding man with whom she has four great daughters. She splits her time between Alaska and northern Arizona.  When she’s not working, Val can be found flying her airplane with her retriever, a shotgun, a fly rod, and high aspirations.
