Who is Todd Gilbert?

Todd Gilbert is a 3rd generation business owner and has grown Valley Companies (VC) from a small regionally based trucking company into a multi-million dollar nationwide logistics organization. Through his hard work, extreme dedication, and passion for the logistics industry and its team members, Todd has taken what his grandfather started in 1935 and created a highly successful and trailblazing logistics business. In addition to the growth of VC, Todd has established a commercial real estate (CRE) portfolio throughout the Midwest Region, including owner-occupied and investment CRE assets.

With over 30 years of business management and leadership experience, Todd has worked with various executive coaches and mentors throughout his professional career to bring him where he is today. A proven Visionary in his field, he helps his fellow business owners and entrepreneurs succeed in their respective industries to reach their professional goals while balancing time with their families and loved ones. The art of building a well-rounded and balanced life is truly that, an ART, and finding that balance is the key to success.

Todd created the Spherical Evolution program based on his experience balancing life as a business owner, supporting a marriage, and being a father to three active sons. His passion for giving back to the community, serving on Advisory Boards, and helping grow the next generation of business leaders is second to none. The lessons he’s learned throughout his own experiences, his dedication to his faith, and his ongoing sobriety journey have all laid the foundation for a program that has proven to bring others success.

Meet Heidi Gilbert

Heidi Gilbert is a Certified Life Coach and Personal Trainer, as well as Regional Vice President at Arbonne. Heidi’s passion for serving and helping others guided her studies at the University of Minnesota and St. Mary’s University where she earned her Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology, Nutrition, and Public Health, followed by her Master’s degree in Health and Human Services Administration. From there, her entrepreneurial spirit took over and she put her passion to work by becoming a Certified Life Coach and Personal Trainer, allowing her to work with others and help them on their health journeys.

This same passion led into what has now been an 18-year-long career inside the Arbonne organization where Heidi is a Regional Vice President and leads a team of others who are on the same path to help and coach others. She married her high school sweetheart, Todd Gilbert, in 1997 and they have three talented and handsome boys. Both Todd and Heidi share the same mission of giving back to others, and together they’ve created Spherical Evolution, an executive coaching program that helps fellow entrepreneurs learn the art of building a well-rounded and balanced life.

Meet Ashley Briles

Ashley is a University of Wisconsin–River Falls graduate, earning her Bachelor’s degree in Spanish with a minor in International Studies. At the time, her goal focused on being an asset to any organization needing bilingual team members. Not long after graduation, she realized her true passion was to help any organization or company in any capacity or way she could. Serving others and helping make others’ lives easier has always been her life’s mission; this laid the groundwork for her to begin what would become her career in the administrative world. Ashley has supported the Valley Companies organization and the Gilbert Family for almost ten years. Throughout the evolution of her role, she’s learned that being reliable, consistent, energetic, and efficient is just as important as any direct revenue-producing role in helping to make an organization successful. Over the years of working with Todd and Heidi Gilbert, it was a natural fit to bring her into the Spherical Evolution team to allow her to continue using her skills to support the SE clients and their team members; Ashley is the definition of helping to bring balance to someone’s life, and if you ask her, it’s one of the greatest gifts she could ever give.

About Spherical Evolution

Spherical Evolution (SE) is an executive coaching program that Todd & Heidi Gilbert created. Built around 12 Pillars, it strives to help you create balance in your professional and personal life. As any entrepreneur knows, success isn’t easy and doesn’t happen overnight; it’s a process. There is a lot that goes into building and growing a business while still being able to enjoy time outside of work with your family and friends. SE is here to help with that process. We are here to learn about your professional goals and any roadblocks you are facing, along with hearing about your personal life, goals, and challenges. From there, we’ll help you establish the steps necessary to overcome those obstacles, reach your goals, and work with you to find a successful balance.

Feeling fulfilled at work and home is crucial in finding your personal version of happiness, purpose, and balance. When those two worlds are aligned, you make smarter decisions, experience less stress, and find your path to success clearer than ever before. The SE program allows Todd and Heidi to give back and help others based on their trials, tribulations, and experiences. We’re here to help you find your balance!
