I wanted so badly to give this 30 minute talk without notes (except for the Bible passage I read). Well, God showed up in so many ways. I got away from the podium and engaged with the audience, but best of all I felt like God delivered a message through me that moved the women. I want to thank you for giving me the confidence I needed and encouraging me and teaching me. You are a gifted teacher and coach. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Next Step was exactly what I needed to push forward in ministry. Working with my coach helped me clarify the direction in which God was leading me. The process also helped me better understand the value I bring to my audience by helping me see how my varied experiences contributed to the trajectory of my ministry.

It was a pleasure to work with Next Step Coaching Services. My coach’s down-to-earth manner and infectious laugh immediately put me at ease and enabled us to work together effectively. Our coaching phone calls focused my thoughts on the heart of the message God has given me. She guided me to express that message in a way that is true to myself and appealing and inviting to others.

I can’t believe the progress that has been made in one year’s time! I truly believe that Next Step Coaching Services was part of the answer to that quiet prayer I kept whispering. Next Step helped me to affirm my calling and discover my gifts so that they could begin to shine for the One who gave them to me.

Working with Next Step Coaching Services not only helped me to create a clearer message, but my message is now distilled and far more potent. My confidence level has soared. I cannot recommend Next Step enough!

God has given me a gift, but to me it seemed like puzzle pieces waiting to be put together to form a complete picture. One by one, piece by piece, you are helping me to put the puzzle God has given me together. Before we started, I was totally confused as to where and how to begin but you have laid out an organized plan for me to follow enabling me to be obedient to His calling.

Working with Next Step Coaching Services was a joy! Through this process, my coach helped me discover my true niche and put short, descriptive phrases to my passions. She enabled me to succinctly articulate who I am, what God has done for me and what He’s given me to share with others. The process helped me fine tune my focus, making the point of my arrow sharper than ever before. Now, when friends and family look at my website and bio, they smile and say, ‘Oh, yeah….now that’s you to a tee!’
