About Me

My life is dedicated to helping people reach their ultimate potential and encounter their destiny in a way that produces meaningful work for them. I endeavor to have a lasting impact upon humanity by influencing people to expect more of themselves, helping them create their unique plan of action, and providing resources that will assist the process. To that end, the services I offer apart from my day-to-day job include life coaching, specialized training programs, and public speaking. I am an unpublished (as yet) author working on completing my first book.

I'm currently looking for new networking opportunities. My experience includes training, course development, event planning (large and small events), public speaking, marketing, administration, strategic planning, leadership development, personality profiling, graphic design, desktop publishing, writing and editing, publishing, coaching, crisis intervention, and children's ministry.

    CEO/Certified Life Coach
    Turnaround Coaching
    Our vision is to become the authority in helping people to experience the best life they can…outside the box!

    Our mission is to help get you on a strategically designed course based on your strengths, talents, passion, and purpose. We work with you to find out what your strengths are and redirect your activities to achieve the goals you develop. We will help you find training and education opportunities, to help you get prepared. We work to build your confidence based on your own talents. We are dedicated to serving you and helping you achieve the most possible out of your relationship with Turnaround Coaching. We are committed to partnering with you to help you realize your unique success.

    As the expression goes, if you don’t have a specified destination, any port will do. The port at which you land, however, may not satisfy you or help you gain that worthwhile feeling. With the help of a Turnaround Coaching life coach, you will be able to clearly identify your destination, map out an effective course, and successfully navigate to your goal without spending too much time venturing down the bunny trails that take you off course.

    The thing about bunny trails is that they are interesting and may lead to wonderful surprises. But, they do not lead to your place of fulfillment. Let a Turnaround Coaching life coach keep you on task and help you accomplish the hard things you can’t complete alone.

    Your first coaching session is absolutely free. You’ll get 30 minutes of one-on-one interaction with a life coach in which you will be able to discuss what you hope to gain from a coaching relationship. Your coach will briefly explain our coaching contract, and you can decide whether you believe coaching will help you before you ever pay anything. You have a chance to explore the value of coaching up front.
