“Success is found in your daily agenda”
This is a statement that has instilled in me the desire to make everyday count and to bring others alongside me to commit to daily leadership. Since experiencing several John Maxwell Mastermind Groups, I have seen the importance of sound leadership training and have become a John Maxwell certified coach, mentor, teacher and speaker.
Because of this certification, I can offer you workshops, seminars, keynote speaking, mentoring and coaching that will add to your personal and professional growth. Through study and practical application of the John Maxwell philosophy, I can help you and your organization reach your goals. I love to teach and mentor, seeing others grow in their desire to learn and lead themselves and others.
I was born in Virginia and began teaching others before graduating from high school. Prior to and upon graduating with a BA degree from Mid-Atlantic Christian University, I was a Youth Pastor in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. In 1975 I married George Powell and we served in ministry in North Carolina and Indiana until moving to Portland, Oregon in 1989 to begin the Abundant Life Church. Through our leadership we have seen the church grow in the last 25 years to becoming a church of 3,000 people. During this time I have had the privilege of leading people from all walks of life including bank managers, social workers, administrators, business leaders and doctors. In addition to this, I served as a Weight Watchers Leader for 9½ years seeing many people reach their personal goals. Since that time I have led groups consisting of men and women and have been the keynote speaker for women’s groups. Weekly I meet with women on a one-on-one basis and in small groups for teaching and mentoring.
Because of my experience in leading and teaching others for over 40 years, it is my desire to help you see your potential and train you using the John Maxwell principles and philosophies. Because these principles are based on the teachings of the Bible, I am excited to share them with you and seeing you reach your personal and professional goals.
