WELCOME!

We are excited you decided to team up with Heart Builder Ministries (HBM)/Life Coaching with Sissy to support your forward movement in your life. Colossians 2:10 states, “So you have everything when you are filled with Christ.” (TLB) The word “everything” sums it all up! This means when we are “filled with Christ” our Creator puts in us EVERYTHING we need to keep moving forward in our relationships. With the Holy Spirit as our guide, we will work together to unlock and unleash the essential skills and strengths for your desired growth.

To reap the fullest benefits of our relationship, complete transparency between us is a must from the beginning. As Ephesians 4:15 states, “But speaking the truth in love [in all things—both our speech and our lives expressing His truth], let us grow up in all things into Him…” (Amplified) Your coach will be stretching you and speaking truth to you as they feel the urging of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, if your coach is ever sharing anything that is not ringing true for you or that does not rest well with you, immediately bring it to your coach’s attention to avoid misunderstandings. The relationship between HBM/Life Coaching with Sissy and you is first and foremost built with transparency and honesty. Allowing truth to open doors of freedom for you to move closer to your desire is a top priority. We encourage and welcome your questions to clarify any matter of concern to you.

What is Life Coaching?

HBM/Life Coaching with Sissy operates under the umbrella of Heart Builder Ministries Inc. Therefore, coaching will be presented with the Word of God, the Father, and Jesus Christ as a foundational theme. It is the belief of HBM/Life Coaching with Sissy that we all are created in the image of God, the Creator. Therefore, we have our own unique creativity to develop in our lives. The coaching relationship allows us the framework to unlock hidden creativity and strengths to propel His creation to their fullest potential. Jeremiah 29:11 states, “For I know the plans and thoughts that I have for you,’ says the Lord, ‘plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” (Amplified) “The Power of YET” moves us closer to that “hope.” We may not be where we want to be “YET,” but we can walk in hope and move forward!

HBM/Life Coaching with Sissy invites you to think of Coaching as a process. We like to say, “Coaching is not a sprint, but a marathon.” Although change can indeed be created in a short time frame, we are here to aid you with refining and maintaining your change. Therefore, we anticipate our Coaching partnership to be a minimum 3-month timespan. At the end of these 3 months together, we will evaluate what next step meets your needs best.
