CROSSWALK POLITICS​
​​
A STRATEGIC APPROACH TO IDENTIFYING, MANAGING, AND OPTIMIZING KEY RELATIONSHIPS TO THRIVE AT WORK
More about Daphne Valcin, MCC and her work
After being the sole employee not laid off in two different roles at two different jobs; being promoted within 1 - 2 years in a number of positions; and going from bringing in $72 in revenue her first month in business to earning within the top 10% of self-employed entrepreneurs, Daphne understands how individuals can position themselves as being essential, valuable, and results-driven leaders who positively impact the people and environments around them.
​
The Conference Board reports that over 53% of Americans are unhappy at work, and according to research by the Queens School of Business and Gallup, organizations with low employee engagement scores saw 18% lower productivity, 16% lower profitability, 37% lower job growth, and 65% lower share price over time. Individuals who are not operating at their full potential at work are not only more likely to leave their roles, but they're vastly affecting their companies' success.
​
Daphne is passionate about contributing to decreased turnover, increased retention, and enhanced company culture for organizations around the world through workshops, training, keynote sessions, coaching, strategic consulting, and assessments.

Testimonials​
​
Daphne is fantastic at working within a group setting - somehow, she made it feel like she was speaking one-on-one with you instead of to 20 people!
One of the things I also appreciated was that Daphne has the ability to break down complex subject matter and explain it in simple terms. I never felt lost and certainly felt comfortable asking questions! Plus she's got a very joyful, upbeat personality, so, the training was a lot of fun. I plan on attending other training events she hosts in the future and I highly recommend her services.
