Coach Donna led a group session for some clients of our organization. She is a wonderful speaker and skilled facilitator who approaches topics with sensitivity, grace and relatability. Her ability to share the important concepts of boundaries around all facets of life made the participants feel at ease sharing and relating to one another. She builds a sense of community, offers thought provoking questions and allowed time for in-depth discussions. During the planning process she asked important questions and really listened to the needs of the audience in order to make the session as relevant as possible. Her materials and activities were engaging and professional. She has such positive energy and is an encouraging, empathetic communicator. I highly recommend Coach Donna!

Donna is great to work with. She listens and provides great feedback., information and direction. She will also point you to someone else who may connect with you better if you don't clique with her.
Lisa Marie C
Coach Donna did such an amazing job guiding me through a much needed season of emotional restoration. Before going to coaching, my dreams and aspirations tended to suffocate under the weight of my inner critic. My lack of confidence was preventing me from moving forward. Donna was a great listener and, like any good coach, knew to ask some probing and difficult questions that I may have never faced otherwise. She gently shepherded me through a series of conversations where I discovered this critic’s origin. She then helped me fight her with God’s truth and wisdom. She challenged me, encouraged me, and celebrated my successes no matter how small they seemed to me. Thanks to Donna’s wise coaching, and the grace of God, my aspirations now breathe new life with a confidence that I scarcely knew before meeting her. 
Susan H.
Life coaching is a gift Donna has possessed informally all her life. Her life experiences and God given gifts of empathy, leadership, understanding, truthfulness, honesty and ability to be "real" with others is reflected in her personality. She is able to really listen to someone and direct his/her to discoveries of healthier ways of thinking, and exploring options for new behaviors, and finding solutions which are Christ centered. Donna has a relationship with God and He is at the center of her coaching strategies. Donna has a passion for others to find their purpose and joy. Her energy is contagious and she is able to empower others to explore and seek ways to fulfill their goals.

What is Coaching?

Answers to frequently asked questions about coaching.

What is a life coach?

A life coach is trained and accredited professional that provides a wide variety of services to people of all walks of life. They have a broad spectrum of expertise to support and guide their clients with whatever aspects of their life they are currently needing help with. A life coach can act as a consultant, cheering squad, sounding board and friend to their clients, supporting them through the different facets of their life. For decades, athletes have relied on the support, encouragement and direction of their coaches, helping them to reach further, train harder and dream bigger. A life coach does the same but geared towards their client’s individual life situations and goals. The use of a life coach isn’t reserved for only high-powered executives, business leaders or CEO’s. Anyone can use and benefit from the services of a life coach, whether they are geared towards their personal or professional life.

What are the benefits of having a life coach?

When people hear the word coach, they are most likely thinking of athletic coaches, highly visible on the sidelines of every sporting event or heavily involved in training sessions. The coach is providing their athlete with guidance, corrections, support and encouragement. A life coach provides all of the same things, just in different areas of their client’s life. They are able to provide unbiased and professional guidance, support and encouragement to help their clients reach their full potential. Life coaches work closely with their clients with a variety of different tactics to help their clients’ set goals and work to achieve them. People who use a life coach are more likely to be successful at reaching their goals due to the accountability of having a life coach to check in with and the expertise of the life coach’s training. A life coach can help set defined goals and objectives, work through fears and perceived roadblocks, design a clear plan and strategy for success and act as your cheerleader along the way.

How do I know I need a life coach?

There are many reasons why a person may choose to hire a life coach. One of the most commonly considered reasons is to elevate themselves in their profession to reach that next level, either in their productivity and work output, or in the form of a raise or promotion. However, a life coach can serve many different purposes, depending on where a person is at in their life. Brought down to its most basic of concepts, a life coach can be used by anyone who feels that there is a gap in the distance between where they are currently and where they are aiming to be. A life coach can help to close that gap, in less time than if a person tried to do it alone, by providing the tools, knowledge, support and structure to get closer to where you want to be. Some key indicators that might lead a person to seeking out a life coach are that they feel like they are in a rut, are looking to get promoted, are starting or growing a business, thinking about an important life change, want to find a better work-life balance or need to feel financial freedom. This is only a small list of the areas a life coach can help you with.

What can a life coach do for me?

Life coaches are used by many business people, executives, entrepreneurs and even housewives or stay-at-home moms. A life coach is there to guide and support you to get to where you want to be in life, no matter where you are now.
