Introduction

As seasoned Communication Consultant, Life Coach, and Christian Minister, my expertise ranges from helping businesses and nonprofits with Marketing, Public Relations, Executive Coaching, and Employee Communication, to helping Individuals with Mindset and Personal Development, Families with Relationship Coaching, Couples with Marriage and Relationship Coaching, including Communication Skills, Conflict Resolution, Premarital Counseling, and Wedding Officiating, as well as Accelerated Learning, Sports Performance Coaching, and Complimentary Health Care and Wellness Coaching (both physical and mental). As an ordained and licensed Christian Minister, and the highest level trained, certified, and experienced Master Coach and Hypnotist in Memphis and the Mid-South area (see list of certifications listed further down in this profile), I can help you define realistic goals and achieve them in any area of your life, business, or nonprofit organization. Although I am an ordained and licensed Christian Minister, I work with clients from all types of backgrounds, respecting others’ worldview, and do not bring up religion or faith in coaching sessions unless my client asks me to. After working with hundreds of individuals and couples, I have found that most people, while they may not even be aware of it, have in their Unconscious Minds either Negative Emotions that are weighing them down or Limiting Beliefs that are holding them back, or both. For people who have them, such blocks are deeply rooted emotions and decisions that they don’t even realize that they have, resulting from past significant emotional events. Although rooted in the past, such blocks are interfering with their life today. That’s why one of my specialties is helping clients release Negative Emotions (e.g., Anger, Sadness, Fear, Hurt, Guilt), delete Limiting Beliefs (e.g., “I’m not good enough,” “I’ll never be able to”), and then set Achievable Goals in their Unconscious Mind so that their goals will be achieved. I also help people learn how to better communicate with themselves (self-talk), with others (including both verbal and body language), as individuals or small groups, and with audiences, ranging from public speaking to mass media campaigns, to be more influential and persuasive. Whether your need is in the area of business growth, nonprofit fundraising, individual health, wealth, relationships, career, academic performance, sports performance, or spirituality, I can definitely help you achieve what you want. All under the heading of Communication Consulting and Coaching, as a Christian Minister, another specialization is in Pre-Marital Counseling, Marriage and Family Coaching/Counseling; and I Officiate Weddings (including helping couple write their wedding vows). With 40+ years of Communication Consulting and Coaching Experience, including 34 years of lay ministry experience and 8 years of experience as a professional Life Coach and Hypnotherapist, I am recognized by international certifying boards as the highest trained and Certified Master Coach and Hypnotist in Memphis and the Mid-South area, holding the following degrees and certifications: * Ph.D. (Christian Ministry); Master of Divinity (Pastoral Studies, Conflict Management, and Christian Mediation); Master of Arts (Communication, including Speech Communication); Bachelor of Business Administration (Marketing) * Certified Marketing Research Professional * Certified Digital Marketing Professional * Certified Master Trainer and Master Practitioner of Time Line Therapy™️ Techniques, and the Creating Your Future Coaching ™️ Process (Time Line Therapy™️ Association) * Certified Hypnotherapist, Master Hypnotist, Hypnosis Instructor (American Board of Hypnotherapy), and Consulting Hypnotist (National Guild of Hypnotist) * Certified NLP Master Coach, NLP Trainer, and NLP Coaching Trainer (American Board of Neuro-Linguistic Programming) * Black Belt, 2nd Degree (Nidan), traditional Japanese Shotokan Karate (Shotokan Karate or America, ska.org) I serve clients locally by in-office sessions and around the globe over Zoom, Skype, and Psychology Today’s HIPAA-compliant screen sharing and chat for teletherapy.

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

Don’t think of it as a “cost” but, instead, think if it as an “investment” in yourself, your business, or nonprofit organization to improve your life.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

I help clients set clear, Achievable Goals; release any Negative Emotions (such as anger, sadness fear, hurt, or guilt) that may be weighing them down; delete any Limiting Beliefs (such as “I don’t think I’m good enough,“ “I’ll never be rich“) that may be holding them back; and then help them install goals and motivations in their Unconscious Mind in a way that they will be achieved. The first session is a typically a 30-minute Strategy Consultation to understand your needs and develop a plan. The next session is typically a two-hour Breakthrough Session in which we do most of the work needed. Subsequent sessions are one to two hours each to finalize and fine-tune your results. Typical client programs last from 4 to 10 sessions depending on client needs.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

In addition to relevant certifications listed elsewhere in my profile I hold the following degrees: Doctor. of Philosophy; Master of Divinity; Master of Arts; Bachelor of Business Administration. My Master of Arts in Communication includes a special emphasis in Rhetoric (Speech Communication, Persuasion and Influence) and Political Communication. Also, as a Certified Trainer in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Trainer of NLP Coaching, I teach and coach clients in Public Speaking, including how to connect with one’s audience, speech writing, preparation, and delivery.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

Although I still do Marketing Consulting, I came to the fields of Hypnosis and Coaching from being a consultant in Marketing, Mass Communication and Consumer Psychology as applied to business and politics. As a student of communication, I came to realize that Hypnosis and Coaching are specialized forms of communication that can bring positive, life-changing benefits to people. Being passionate about helping people, I evolved from consulting in business and politics to helping individuals and small groups.

What types of customers have you worked with?

Ages 12 to 72; male & female; individuals and small groups (including business and nonprofits); couples; families; all race/ethnic groups; all religions / faiths; domestic U.S. and international.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

A 34 year old lady from New Zealand was referred to me because she had been having panic attacks since she was 13. After a little more than two hours of working with me her panic attacks stopped and have not recurred for over three years. In her video testimonial, that I will be happy to share with prospective clients upon request, she described her work with me as “life changing.”

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

1. Make sure they have high-quality training and certification from a world-class certifying board. 2. Make sure they have successfully helped other clients with the same or very similar needs to yours. 3. Make sure you understand how they will work with you, in terms of number os sessions, what to expect in each session, price, payment terms and methods of payment accepted, and whether they offer a Satisfaction Guarantee.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

1. Are you 100% committed to change, to eliminate what you don’t want and to get what you do want? 2. Will you commit 100% to your Hypnotist / Coach as the expert authority to help you achieve what you want, and to his or her process. 3. What is it worth to you, in dollar investment and time, to overcome your problem and achieve what you want?
