Professional Bio:
I have over 20 years’ experience as a top-notch Human Resources Professional working in the high-tech corporate world and as a consultant for small businesses. I spend time learning from other business women through weVENTURE whose mission is to “amplify womenpreneurs to accelerate sustainable business growth”.
In My Words:
As an over-achieving college graduate and spending years climbing the corporate ladder, I now know what it feels like to want more. In 2006, I quit my corporate job, started consulting at a small business and spending more time with my husband and son. Working part-time, volunteering at church, and asking God to direct me where He wanted me, I waited patiently for the answer. In the meantime, my church offered me an opportunity to be coached by a Christian Life Coach. The heavens opened and the answer fell in my lap. I am a graduate of and received my certification from Christian Coach Institute, an ICF approved training program, and ready to be a light for God in this dark world. My favorite scripture from the Bible is Psalm 46:10 “Be Still and Know that I am God.” Often times I am juggling various aspects of my life ….. missing what God has put right in front of me. He reminds me to “Be Still.”
Other Fun:
Born in New Jersey as the middle child of seven (need I say more?) and spending my teenage years in upstate New York, I moved to sunny Florida in the late 1980’s. I am an example of an ENTJ, D/I and C/D. My top three spiritual gifts include administration/ruling, faith and encouraging/exhorting. I have a tendency to laugh loudly, stay up late and complain I’m tired, I never say “no” and will shop till I drop. I am a lifelong learner, horrible singer, I drive too fast (sometimes get caught) and love to talk (alot) and share life experiences. I enjoy making faith-based jewelry, decorating, and entertaining friends and family in my home. I am married to a wonderful man for over 20 years and have a son in college. We are empty nesters embarking on the next chapter of our life.
One Way Coaching, LLC
The concept for One Way Coaching, LLC was a team effort. After many discussions with my husband, son, family and friends, I wanted to create a business where individuals and small businesses could work and grow with me. I am committed to help small businesses with their strategies and techniques to create business success. For individuals, I help people move forward and set personal and professional goals that will give them the life they really want.
Coaching helps businesses and individuals:
- Develop an action plan for growing both individually and their business
- Foster focus and clarity regarding their vision
- Manage their time wisely
- Increase revenue
- Prioritize their tasks so they know what to do first and when
- Stop feeling “stuck”
One Way Coaching, LLC provides coaching to individuals, to teams/groups and to small businesses. I also coach those who are self-employed. In all, my goal is to help clients stay focused and motivated, and create lasting results.
