My earliest recollections of childhood include images of stuffed animals and dolls lined up in a row in my bedroom. They were all ready to be taught by the best teacher in the house — me! It’s so funny that when I look back at those times, I can see the smile of satisfaction on my face. I loved thinking that I was sharing my knowledge of the world with somebody — even if only stuffed objects. One thing is for sure. I had a hope in my heart that one day I would be an educator. I would make a difference in the lives of others.
Over the years, I have evolved from my bedroom to the boardroom and been able to nurture that hope into a God-given gift to educate people and impact lives. In 1999, I stepped out of Corporate America and became a new virtual business owner. Wow, was I a fish out of water. My comfort zone was gone, my circle of influence became smaller, and I suddenly felt all alone — vulnerable to failure. Rather than give in to that fear, I embraced the challenge to not fail and made some wise investments in my business. I got help and an education on how to show up as the confident business owner my clients needed to see. I hired coaches to help me brand myself, change my mindset, establish my business standards, and design my program funnel — which saved me money and time. Phew!
As a Tribe Coach, I combine my experience from 6 years of being a systems VA for coaches with my passion for helping coaches find the right combination of strategies and techniques to build an authentic business. When I can help a coach to discover their passion and unique story, they quickly see their authentic place in the coaching industry. No more stuffed animals for me — I now work with real people that I can educate and help which gives me hope and keeps me thriving on a daily basis!
