My Story. My Calling. My Why.

 

CEO & Founder | Educator | Certified Empowerment Coach | Author of 20 Books | Speaker | Certified AI Consultant

​

Hi, I’m Dr. Valarie W. Harris, and I believe there is more within us than

we dare to believe.

 

After 34 years in education, I founded Stepping Out with Purpose to help women turn their wisdom into purposeful action. Through coaching, publishing, and community, I help you gain clarity, build confidence, and create a lasting legacy.

 

As a speaker and author, I share practical, faith-centered strategies for leadership, confidence, and legacy building. As a Certified AI Consultant, I help women use AI with confidence to organize ideas, create resources, and expand their impact while keeping their wisdom and voice at the center.

BUILT For More 

I'M HERE TO HELP YOU STEP INTO YOUR PURPOSE WITH PASSION & PROFIT!

I equip women leaders, educators, and authors to transform their life lessons and leadership into books, coaching programs, and sustainable income without burnout or self-doubt.
