"Having a professionally trained coach like Karen to call upon proved to be very valuable to me in facing the pressures of my pastoral responsibilities."

"While I was Senior Pastor at Wilmington Island UMC, Savannah, Ga. I was able to call on Karen with her coaching skills to help us. She coached me through some personal issues in my family life. She was invited to coach our Children's MinistryTeam as they worked through a vision statement for our children's ministry. She also coached our team in writing a job description and planning the process for hiring our first Children's Ministry Director.  Karen coached our Youth Ministry Team through a series of sessions as they planned steps for a more effective youth ministry.  She was very helpful in having coaching sessions with couples before their weddings.  While I had my premarriage sessions with the couples, Karen had an additional series of transitional coaching sessions to prepare the couple for their marriage journey."

"Having a professionally trained coach like Karen to call upon proved to be very valuable to me in facing the pressures of my pastoral responsibilities. She has the pastoral experience, the spiritual depth and the coaching skills to help any pastor and their congregation to work through their issues and challenges.  I highly recommend her as a confidential and competent professional 'Life Coach' for individuals and groups.  Karen can be truly a pastor's pastor. If I were still serving as a Senior Pastor, I would certainly engage her services as a Life Coach.  She has the skills to help an individual or group set goals and then follow up for the results."
