I do interpersonal communication training and I have over 25 years experience in helping people effect changes in their lives. I have been certified in Neuro-Linguistic Programming since 1994.  I have worked as a counselor in private practice and with victims of violent crime.  I have also worked extensively and very effectively with various family and personal challenges that confront people.  I also have business experience operating my own successful businesses and managing others. I have been an ordained minister for over 20 years and volunteer extensively in my community.  I have also been happily married to his wife, Misty, for over 24 years, and together we have one son.

This a “long way around barn” of saying all of the above has taught me how to effect change in people. I greatly appreciate the privilege of empowering people to open the door to new strategies of designing the life they desire.

Testimonials

It is easy to have a sense of confidence and trust when you first meet Wally Foster.
For some fifteen years I have had the enriching opportunity to get to know him and exchange professional practices and insights.  I especially appreciate his ability to trust my (and your) internal process and interject only as little or as much as may be needed at any given moment.
Although he is skilled at the most effective therapeutic technology, it is his personal qualities of compassion, integrity and dedication to your welfare that make him outstanding.  Very few of us are without the need for healing and/or making changes in our life.  As a mental health practitioner for 25 years, I am confident that working with Wally will be a real benefit.

James O. Roy, Ed.D.   

"I have worked very closely with Wally Foster in a three-day intensive seminar and in a six-day round the-clock training.  My experience tells me that in all nine days of demanding personal involvement bring out the dominant qualities of each participant.

I found Wally to be intelligent, focused, and hard working.  He set high standards for his performance and lived up to or surpassed these.

I would recommend him highly.  He is exceptionally well trained in interpersonal and communication skills, which determine success or failure in most business situations.

I would certify him as a trainer for my Influencing With Integrity programs at his first request. "
