I have a passion and calling for coaching and care of Christian leaders around the world. As a former missionary, a pastor's wife and certified leadership coach, my experiences have shaped who I am and given me a heart to invest in others; to care for and develop the soul of leaders.

 

There are many leaders around the world who are finding themselves at a crossroads; longing for support, encouragement, healing and hope. My heart’s passion is to come alongside these leaders in under-resourced areas of the world to encourage them, lift up their spirits and infuse them with fresh hope.

 

I believe that God is continuing to call me to use my gifts, talents, experiences and passion to minister to leaders both locally and globally. I often say that I have a “glocal” ministry. I coach and do inner healing with local pastors, ministry couples, church leaders, seminary and doctoral students; and also travel around the United States doing leadership development, soul care seminars and inner healing training in high schools, universities, churches, and mission organizations. I do similar training, seminars and one-on-one inner healing and coaching sessions with leaders from around the world.

 Soul Care for the Caregivers

I follow Paul’s example from Acts 20:2
 
“Traveling through the country passing from one gathering to another, he gave constant encouragement, lifting their spirits and charging them with fresh hope.”
The Soul of Leadership
 
We cannot change what we are not aware of. All change begins with awareness. Personal growth and development begins with understanding who we are, why we do what we do, discovering what might be holding us back or keeping us stuck, and unlocking our full potential, gifts and passions .

Philosophies on the Soul of Leadership:

We cannot change what we are not aware of. All change begins with awareness. Personal growth and development begins with understanding who we are, why we do what we do, discovering what might be holding us back or keeping us stuck, and unlocking our full potential, gifts and passions.  It is the soul of the leader which often gets neglected.

 

Our soul (which is primarily our mind, will and emotion) often gets neglected, overlooked and pushed down. King Solomon said, “Above all else, guard your heart for it is the well spring of life."  As a soulful leader, my passion is to journey with people to the deep places of their souls to help them discover the keys that are already there to unlock God’s full potential in their lives.
