FAQ's

Having been led through the darkness into transforming Light, I know both the territory of pain and what it is to be grasped by Amazing Grace. If you are looking for a Spiritual Guide, Transformational Coach, or Motivational Speaker who is herself on the Quest for the Holy, then I may be the right person to accompany you, or your group. 

I love to work with groups or individuals who are committed to deepening their spirituality, living more authentically, and leading more purpose-driven lives —and who are willing to embrace the hard work that this journey entails. While I serve primarily in Christian contexts, I companion people from every Faith as well as those without a formal religious affiliation. 

Working with individuals is a powerful experience that involves mutual vulnerability, trust, and respect.  In our sessions, prayer is always a possibility if you are seeking faith-based solutions to life's issues. I will not impose my "God" language or beliefs on you, but will honor where you are, where you wish to travel, and how you wish to get there! 

When working as a life coach with a small group, I try to foster the same experience of intimacy and authenticity that is possible with individuals or couples. One of my specialties is ministerial coaching, which I taught at the Catholic Theological Union, Chicago, as well as through my own coaching education venture, The Ministry Coaching Foundation. It is a real privilege to help clergy and other ministry professionals explore their vision/mission, develop their ministry skills, and extend their pastoral reach.

As a presenter in large-group settings, I rely on "stage presence" to engage the audience and keep them focused; at the same time, however, I prefer to tell stories, share insights, and draw on the group's experience rather than lecture. As a college professor with over 50 years of classroom experience, I have quite a repertoire of presentation skills!

Most of my clients work with me virtually and are located across the country and overseas. However, I will travel to your location to give a presentation or retreat, whether in Chicago or beyond; I also see clients in person at my office.
