Thanks NCA for featuring me on your site!
Also thanks to Brandon Baker from Life Coach Path for conducting the interview!
NCA: Can you describe your coaching practice and the kinds of clients you typically work with?
Cecil: Family Connections Coaching partners with individuals and organizations to clarify and move towards greater health and integration. I believe wholeness supports the growth and development needed to effectively lead and manage our personal and professional lives. My clients have been parents, young couples, as well as leaders of nonprofit organizations.
NCA: What initially got you interested in this career path and what kind of degree or certifications did you need to complete, if any?
Cecil: In 2010, I started a director position to support the Christian education ministry of a church. In that role, I worked with a large volunteer staff as well as parents. A friend informed me of an introductory seminar on coaching and after attending, I knew this skill set would greatly increase my ability to challenge and support my staff and families. I started an ICF approved program in 2011 and got my Certificate of Transformational Coaching in 2014.
NCA: What is the most rewarding part of your career?
Cecil: I’ve found tremendous satisfaction in my clients’ courage, commitment and breakthrough’s in growing up and waking up. Seeing them progress in more meaningful awareness and skills of self leadership and care that results in more effective navigation of personal and professional matters.
