Valerie Khoo - Unlocking the creative potential you may not know you have

Valerie Khoo is founder and CEO of the Australian Writers’
Centre, which is Australia’s leading centre for writing courses.
Over 40,000 students have learnt at the centre and it has
campuses in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, and Brisbane – as well as a
huge online learning community enrolling from all over the world.


Valerie is a former journalist and author of the best-selling
book “Power Stories: The 8 Stories You MUST Tell to Build an Epic
Business”.


She now combines her love of storytelling with her passion for
art and managed a second career as a professional artist. Valerie
focuses on creating artworks that serve as a daily reminder of a
meaning, emotion or vision for collectors who connect with her
abstract style.


She has also been appointed as the City of Sydney’s Curator of
the Chinese New Year Festival 2019, the third-largest annual
event in Sydney (behind NYE Fireworks and Vivid) and the largest
celebration of Chinese New Year in the world outside of Asia.


An avid podcaster, she co-hosts the popular podcasts “So you want
to be a writer” and “So you want to be a photographer”.
