MY WHY
At the height of my professional career, successfully building my wealth management business, God asked me once again, to put down something “good” because he was calling me to “something greater”.
I had a vision for what Purpose Driven would be, but as God began to reveal his vision for my business and how I would equip Christian women in their journeys through life and business, I was overwhelmed with joy!
Helping women tap into their God-given strengths and walking alongside them as they pursue their “something greater” is what I was born to do.
Being a successful, high-achieving woman is hard! Compound your responsibilities as a business owner and leader with your responsibilities as a wife, mom, daughter, sister, and friend and it can feel impossible to figure out how to get from where you are... to where your heart desires to be.
That’s why you need a partner!
Remember that we were not meant to do everything alone. We were made for relationships.
I am a product of years of business and leadership development coaching and eternally grateful to each of them for the ways they helped me grow both personally and professionally. Having a partner to help me pursue God’s purpose for my life truly ignited my passion to partner with you as you pursue yours.
If you want to see how coaching can change everything for you, let’s connect! I can’t wait to meet you!
