Coaches
Coaching can be useful during a season of ministerial transition, to establish a new project, address a recurring challenge, or simply to be more effective in ministry.
The certified coach will allow the worker to open up to someone so that they don’t face their ministerial challenge alone.

Mark Twain once said, “Twenty years from now, you’ll be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did accomplish.” This quote is a reminder that opportunities don’t fall from the sky, but must be created. That’s why I embrace this motto in my life.
I am determined, innovative, persistent, dynamic, collaborative, and proactive; personality traits that describe me well. I am drawn to words like strategy, management, leadership, efficiency, automation, planning, innovation, diversity, and excellence.
I am passionate about challenges, personal and professional development, and projects. Despite my full-time job and religious commitment, I strive not to abandon my DIY cosmetics and music projects. I believe these projects are important for my personal development and for achieving my future goals.
