Our Philosophy
Founded on a belief that organizations thrive when their stakeholders and staff feel they are supported, nurtured and most of all heard, Coachman Moore & Associates Inc.’s philosophy and commitment to inclusive processes stems from founder, Valerie Coachman-Moore’s childhood experiences. Raised in a small town in southern Georgia by a family of teachers, Valerie learned first-hand the value of blending civic activism and a commitment to excellence. Watching those she loved support community-level change through their work, Valerie quickly came to understand the value of relationships, open communication and the merits of bringing out the best in people and institutions.
Today, Valerie applies these principles to her work and with groups and individuals. Her belief in the power of growth, change and courageous conversations is the foundation of her approach and the philosophy that drives Coachman-Moore & Associates Inc.’s ability to create viable partnerships between disparate groups and individuals seeking common ground.
