The Coaching Process
Coaching starts by helping you assess your current situation from a Biblical perspective without guilt and shame. Through a coaching relationship, we explore your short and long-term goals, and help you craft a plan that puts you on a path to achieving them. When you encounter areas where you need to learn, I will teach you and equip you to make solid financial decisions. I encourage you as you grow in your skills, and give you support when you fall short as you learn.
My goal at the end of the coaching process, is that you have built a strong set of skills that are consistent with scripture, and that you are equipped to make wise financial decisions.
