What Do We Believe?
VELOCITY is uniquely distinct from other educational consultants because we address the long-term success of a student by leveraging their identity, habits, opportunities, relationships.

Our values drive our process. If you are on the fence about joining our program, take a look at the ideas that drive us.
College is an Investment.
-
For many, college is an important step along the path to success. But this step is not in and of its self the destination of their success. Treating college as an investment helps respect the cost and maximize the returns.
-
For some, college is a networking opportunity. For others its valuable growth allowing them to be intellectual powerhouses. And for some, its about developing the specific skills they need to start a successful career.
-
College doesn’t just cost money: it costs time. Passively attending college gets in the way of success, so having a plan is key for making this costly endeavor pay off in the end.
-
Colleges have great career and academic support resources available. You are already paying for them through tuition, so you might as well use them.
Being deliberate lets you squeeze the most out of your opportunities.
If you know what skills and values matter to you, it fuels not only your motivation but also your strategic investment of time. You can develop your skills and pursue your values more effectively by being deliberate and strategic with your opportunities.
Knowing which skills you want to develop will help you pick the right internship, summer camp, job, club, or competition. Instead of being a passive participant, you are actively trying to craft an experience that optimally benefits you and accelerates you toward success.
Our Values
01
Business is for EVERYONE.
When workers understand business practices, they have more leverage for wages and can bring more value to their employers at the same time.
​
We want every student to have some exposure to sales, business, and complex organizations.
03
Celebrate Your Victories
Celebration connects our emotions to our goals, leveraging the support of our animal side. Our emotions are both powerful hurdles and sources of energy. So we encourage all of our students to celebrate their victories and milestones, and internalize the joy of these successes.
05
Habits Define Your Path
In line with James Clear's book Atomic Habits, we believe that your outcomes are lagging measures of your habits and decisions, and that good coaching supports your systematic development.
​
"Goals are for setting a direction, but systems are best for making progress"
02
Sales is for Everyone
From artists to finance, startups to public policy, sales is integral to the success of nearly everyone. Sales is more than just propaganda, its about communicating values.
​
We believe that learning sales empowers all of our students.
04
A Good Leader is a Good Follower
Good doers are not necessarily good followers, nor good leaders.
​
Learning to delegate, support, and build relationships is the key to multiplying the actions of others. But much of that is learned while serving alongside other effective followers and leaders.
06
Mentors and Experience Matters
Every year fewer and fewer workers have any idea what their careers look like before they start them. It is important to learn in professional spaces before picking your career path.
We believe that every student deserves lots of exposure and authentic experience.
