I'm often asked, "What does a coach actually do?"

It's a great question because I wasn't sure until I went through my coach training certification nearly a decade ago. I didn't realize that it was way more than cheerleading and had nothing to do with advice-giving.

I often compare coaching to what you experience when you go to a doctor's office. The nurse's job is to make you feel comfortable and gather all the necessary information for the doctor. Meanwhile, the doctor's job is to diagnose your problem and give you the course of treatment. As a coach, I function like the nurse and the doctor is your Creator God, who knows you best of all.

God is the One who has everything you need and through the work of the Holy Spirit can lead you in the right direction.

I help you get ready to hear from God and spur you on to keep going back to Him until you get the answer you're looking for.

Whether you're seeking to get unstuck or explore new opportunities, build a new ministry or launch a new business, a transition to a new career or move towards a dream, it is my privilege to serve as your coach.

I understand what it feels like to be stuck and overwhelmed. I'm here, along with the team of More to Be Coaches, to help you feel heard, seen, and supported as you pursue your God-designed life.
