Victories

“In a year fraught with obstacles and changes in direction I experienced peace and prosperity in a way I have never before in my 25+ years as a professional.

Prosperity: Revenues increased 31% in my marketing consulting business – the best year of 18 years in business and the franchise my husband and I purchased is now set for profitability after bringing it back from a 5-figure loss.  A loss we didn’t know existed when we bought it.

Peace: While running the franchise is my real-world MBA and each day poses continued challenges and concerns, I am at peace in a way that passes understanding.  And I’m certain that I belong here to make a difference in this business (bringing it to it’s full potential), the greater-Detroit economic environment, and in the lives of the staff that serve alongside me.

That is the CORE™ difference.

I began working with Ginny because she brings a perspective I was unable to find anywhere else:  she begins with the recognition that God has created each of us uniquely and wonderfully for a special purpose. By discovering our God-print (our core), we are able to evaluate and implement all else – from business decisions to personal relationships – in that core context, which is unchangeable and our power source.

Ginny then combines solid business principles with personal coaching to enable her clients to shake off what is misdirecting them or holding them back. The result is a peace in life that maximizes your professional performance and enhances your personal relationships.

Every conversation with Ginny delivers a clarity that is stunning.”

“My biggest victory this year is that my business has tripled in revenue (doubled in client base) creating the opportunity for my husband to quit his job and move into being the CEO of our family.

Understanding who I am in my CORE has:

- increased my skill and confidence in negotiations as MERCI Massage has partnered with other organizations to open three satellite offices in the last year
- brought clarity about niche and networking to double the client base (and it continues to grow!)
- improved my ability to select, lead and retain staff
- helped me customize systems, policies and procedures so the offices and our family run smoothly creating an even better experience for clients, staff, and my husband, 5 kids and me.

While we are still in the midst of growing pains, by honoring who we are at the core and doing business and life this way, we’re making great progress and all of us are more present, peaceful and joyful.”

“I am currently living a life that I thought would stay in the “someday” category forever. My business has seen a 40% growth in revenue in the last 3 years despite the current economic climate we are experiencing in my home state of Michigan and around the country. This increase has made it possible for my husband to leave a full time salaried position with benefits and pursue his own passions and dreams.

I began this process with a dream in mind. The challenge was understanding the best path for me to follow to achieve that dream. What I didn’t realize was that even though there were others that were where I wanted to be professionally, the journey that I would take towards my goal would be different. Different because my passions, values, strengths, vision were unique to me. Upon discovery of my CORE facets, we created a strategic plan that pulled from the role models, tools, and resources of my industry in a way that was completely custom to me ~ I was filled with confidence to walk out the actions I needed to take to have the dream and life I wanted.

Through the coaching process I discovered some belief systems that were not aligned with my CORE or my vision and were holding me back. Some examples are thoughts and beliefs regarding money and wealth and communication styles with others that I lead and mentor. I realized that in order to move forward I would need to adjust some past beliefs. It is very freeing to know that we have the capability of changing our thought patterns which in turn changes our activity level and leads to growth in the direction we want to go.

To sum up the coaching process with Ginny, I think of the word FREEDOM. FREEDOM to move, take action, get up a GO towards the DREAM life I desire. FREEDOM to say YES and NO to outside offers with confidence due the clarity I have on who I am, where I’m going and what I value. FREEDOM to continue to think bigger which in turn influences those around me to think bigger. FREEDOM to make an impact through the VISION that I have been given to steward.

“I have experienced results in my business and marriage as well as family & friend relationships. I am now clear in who God made me to be, my God given gifts, mission and purpose. Because I know and am aligning my actions with my CORE, I am no longer stuck vacillating between my past and present. I am moving into my future.

I have had the pleasure of experiencing Ginny’s teaching and coaching in a variety of formats including large groups, small groups and individual one-on-one sessions. In each venue she makes a deep and authentic connection to her audience that creates space for growth, an openness to look into yourself, your business and your life so you can take action to step into your future.”
