Frequently asked questions

What is your coaching specialty?

My coaching specialty focuses on leadership development and entrepreneurial guidance for individuals in the crucial first three years of their venture. This period is critical for building a solid foundation, whether for a business, ministry, or nonprofit.

I emphasize developing strong leadership skills alongside practical business strategies.

Current statistics reveal that 45% of new businesses don't survive past their fifth year, and only 50% of nonprofits achieve long-term success. My goal is to significantly improve these odds for my clients.

By providing targeted support during these formative years, I aim to ensure your venture not only survives but thrives. I'm deeply invested in your success—because your achievements are a reflection of the effectiveness of our work together. Your success IS my success!

How long have you been coaching?

My coaching journey has evolved over the years. For a long time, I informally coached and mentored women within church settings, both individually and in small groups.

In 2016, recognizing a need that extended beyond the church walls, I transitioned to formal (paid) coaching. This shift focused on assisting women whose dreams required a structured approach to accomplish their goals of building businesses, ministries, and nonprofits.

To further support these aspirations, I founded the annual She Steps Forward International Women's Conference. This event brings together women leading in marketplace ministry to share wisdom and advice, providing an additional layer of support for those I coach.

This progression has enabled me to guide a diverse range of women in realizing their God-given potential across various sectors.

What makes your coaching approach unique?

My coaching approach is uniquely tailored to Christian women entrepreneurs, blending spiritual guidance with practical business strategies. What sets it apart is:

  • Faith-Based Foundation: I integrate biblical principles into business practices, helping you align your entrepreneurial journey with your spiritual values.
  • Holistic Development: My approach focuses not just on business growth, but on personal and spiritual growth as well, nurturing you as a whole person.
  • Customized Roadmaps: I create individualized strategies that consider your specific calling, gifts, and marketplace challenges.
  • Community Connection: Through my nonprofit's annual conference and networking opportunities, I provide access to a supportive community of like-minded Christian female entrepreneurs.
  • Dual Expertise: With experience in both ministry and business, I bridge the gap between spiritual calling and marketplace success.
  • Long-Term Vision: I focus on building sustainable ventures that not only succeed financially but also make a lasting impact for God's kingdom.

This integrated approach ensures that as you build your business, ministry, or nonprofit, you're also growing in your faith and leadership abilities, creating a legacy that honors your divine purpose.

What coaching services do you offer?

I offer a comprehensive range of coaching services to meet diverse entrepreneurial needs.

  • Twelve-month One-to-One Coaching Package: Personalized, in-depth guidance tailored to your specific goals and challenges.
  • Online DIY Entrepreneur DREAM Course: A self-paced program for those seeking flexibility in their learning journey.
  • Online Group Masterminds: Collaborative sessions fostering peer learning and networking opportunities.
  • Online Workshops: Focused training on specific topics to enhance your entrepreneurial skills.

Each service is designed to provide targeted support at different stages of your entrepreneurial journey, ensuring you have the resources and guidance needed to succeed.

What is the difference between mentoring and coaching?

Mentoring and coaching, while both valuable, serve different purposes:

Mentoring is a more fluid relationship where an experienced individual shares knowledge and insights with someone seeking guidance. This relationship is often long-term and evolves organically, focusing on general professional or personal development.

Coaching, on the other hand, is a structured, time-based engagement with specific objectives. As a coach, I work with clients to define clear goals and develop strategies to achieve them within a set timeframe. The focus is on actionable steps and measurable outcomes, often tied to particular aspects of building and growing a business, ministry, or nonprofit.

While mentoring provides broad guidance, coaching offers targeted support to help you reach defined milestones in your entrepreneurial journey.

Do you have client testimonials?

Yes! Please see some of my client testimonials under the Services > Coaching tab!

Can I purchase one month or just a few months of coaching services?

I don't offer short-term coaching options.

Here's why: Consistent guidance and accountability are crucial for achieving lasting success. Industry experience shows that short-term or sporadic coaching rarely produces the sustainable results entrepreneurs need. Building a successful business, ministry, or nonprofit requires time to implement strategies, overcome challenges, and create lasting change.

My coaching programs provide comprehensive support throughout the critical stages of your venture's development. This long-term approach allows us to work together to build a strong foundation, develop effective leadership skills, and create sustainable growth strategies. By committing to a longer-term partnership, you ensure you receive the full benefit of the coaching process, maximizing your chances of achieving your goals and creating a thriving venture.

Do you offer a guarantee?

While I can't guarantee specific outcomes, as results largely depend on the client's commitment to taking meaningful, progressive steps towards growth, I can assure you of several key elements in our coaching relationship.

You will have my undivided attention during each interaction, and I'll provide a safe, confidential space for you to fully explore your business, ministry, or nonprofit idea. Additionally, I'm committed to sharing any relevant resources and knowledge I have to support your journey towards success.

My goal is to equip you with the tools, guidance, and support needed to maximize your potential. The coaching process is a partnership, and I'm dedicated to bringing my expertise and full effort to that partnership. Your active engagement and implementation of the strategies we develop together will be key to achieving your goals.

What payment methods do you accept?

I am happy to accept most credit or debit cards, PayPal, Stripe, Zelle, or ACH payments.
