Life Empowerment Coaching
While we’ve experienced first hand the scientifically proven benefits of faith and quieting the mind to visualize positive outcomes, we know the journey to become a Giant can have some rough Baby Steps along the way. You don’t have five kids without some hard days!
That’s why Team GTBS has combined our personal and professional experience to offer life empowerment coaching to children and families. These informal sessions will help identify solutions to overcome patterns that drive us to either survive through the days without really enjoying the moments or to make impulsive decisions that put our Giant dreams at risk.
Our child or family life empowerment coaching can be as few as one or as many as several sessions to understand your unique situation and provide tools to support realistic, sustainable Baby Steps to overcome obstacles to being your best.
