Kathleen Brooks ... Coaching and Speaking on Building Courage to Do Hard Things

Build Your Courage

Hi, I'm Kathleen Brooks.

I firmly believe that courage is essential—not only during the difficult moments we face or the routine of everyday life but also when extraordinary opportunities to excel arise.

Whether you're looking to build your courage personally or strengthen it within your organization, whether to overcome challenges or seize exciting opportunities, I would be honored to guide you on that journey.

Let’s take that step together..

My methods

EXPERIENCE

Pray

I believe that everything begins and ends with prayer. I believe we are to humbly invite the Lord to direct the coaching conversation through the work of the Holy Spirit, to submit to His Will directed by His Word, to see and be grateful for His blessings, and to be transformed by His intervention ... often through His Word.

Clarify Challenge Encourage

In coaching I do focus on understanding your story. Personally, I also believe in challenging growth. I agree that "Growth and comfort can't ride the same horse." It is not my goal to make you comfortable. I will challenge and encourage you to grow and change ... to lean in, listen to the Lord and obey Him. Full surrender. Full stop.

Listen

Everything in coaching hinges on truly leaning in to listen— actively and intuitively -- listening with the client's agenda at the forefront. Being genuinely heard is a powerful experience, one that is surprisingly rare. When someone is fully present, deeply interested in your words, and eager to understand, you feel seen and heard. This experience of our story being listened to allows individuals to grow and change; it makes them feel more secure, safer, and fosters trust. This is why listening is the cornerstone of effective coaching and a primary focus for me in my practice.

Move Forward

My goal is simply to help the client move forward to where God calls them to be—in their situation, their decisions, their focus, their relationships, their career, their health, and their walk with Him.

"Coaches are both change agents and constants agents. They help people see what needs to change and what needs to remain constant and unchanging."

The greatest challenges that kept me awake at night were time management, prioritizing tasks and letting go of past hurts by my current colleagues. My favorite aspect of coaching … having a cheerleader other than my parents has been eye-opening.

Kathleen sees strengths in me that I had forgotten or didn’t realize were there. She boosts my confidence in genuine ways; it’s not trumped up. She can actually cite examples to back up her accolades. I have seen an improvement in my teaching evaluations as I’ve become more mindful of how I spend my time.

My health is improving because I’m taking steps to put more margin in my day—including conscious efforts to an earlier bedtime. I am less stressed out because I see that promotion is a reasonable achievement and within reach as I adhere to the steps I’m taking and grow stronger in the skills I’m building.” Anonymous

I worked with coach Kathleen, when I needed some new direction in my life, because I was entering a new season in motherhood. Kathleen is a great encourager, and no dream is too big, or too silly for you to pursue with Kathleen. She will be your biggest fan! She is also a great and safe listener, which is essential in discussing these issues of the heart. When you are setting new goals in your life, and when they are still in the brainstorm phase, you need a good confidant to talk to. Kathleen is that. I have set new goals for my personal life, my marriage, my business, and my motherhood, under Kathleen’s guidance, and would definitely recommend her to all of my friends..

Happy clients
