ABOUT GINNIE
Coaching Growth Minded Leaders.
I am a Professional and Executive Coach focused on Leadership Identity and Intentional living. I hold an ICF credential as an Associate Certified Coach (ACC), and earned a Professional and Executive Coaching certification from the University of Texas Dallas. I am an ICF global member and active on the membership committee of our local ICF chapter, ICF North Texas.
I am also a certified EQ-i 2.0 accessor and interpreter, providing leadership, workforce, 360 and group assessments. Through this assessment, awareness of emotional intelligence allows my clients to see where they are in several soft skill areas and formulate a plan about what they want to focus on and improve. We uncover the dimensions of emotional intelligence that make up their leadership style and help them to improve things like: emotional self-awareness, assertiveness, social responsibility, decision making, and stress management.
In March 2025, I will complete a certification on AQ, or adaptability quotient. This certification allows leaders to clarify their adaptability to change and empowers them with the tools to take action to progress to their goals.
I am an ICF global member and active on the membership committee of our local ICF chapter, ICF North Texas. I also serve on the board of directors of the Texas Coaches Coalition and the board of the Bosque Civic Music Association at the Bosque Art Center in Clifton, Texas.
MY STORY
I started my professional career by working in high volume retail. I used this time to refine my people and management skills. Through the years, I realized that retail was not my calling, but developing strong leaders was. I wanted to do something more to support people in building their foundation for their personal leadership styles.
I signed on the UTD's coaching leadership program and realized this was my calling. Not only had this positively impacted my professional career, but this had also shifted my family outlook as well.
I have been married to Chris for 24 years, we have 2 beautiful children and one new son-in-law. We have multiple dogs that we love like kids and we enjoy camping whenever we get the chance.
My Philosophy
Love deep means embracing the love described in 1 Corinthians 13:4–8a. For you in our coaching engagement that means there is space and room made to meet you where you are, extending patience and kindness with non-judgment embracing our humanity, and exploring the possibility of what it is to never give up on the pursuit of your full potential(design). Speaking life means we promote hope, confidence, and affirmation towards the meaningful work you are focused on and the obstacles you will face as you become more WHO you want to be. This could also include healing, restoration, or giving yourself permission to change some parts of your thinking and being. Encourage Strength is about embracing the inevitable fear and conflict that comes with change so that you can rise to the occasion as you chart your path forward with intention.
Coaching is a partnership between the client (that's you!) and the coach (me) that focuses on finding solutions and a path forward from the current situation.
A solution-focused approach in coaching means that we focus on what is occurring that is working and minimize what is not working.
My philosophy to love Deep, speak life, and encourage strength is the guidepost. We ask "What ultimately needs to change and how can we facilitate that change in a way that still aligns with your values and WHO you are".
Together, we focus on potential solutions without dwelling on the problems. We focus on the future, as this creates a more valuable outcome than focusing on the past. We work together to help you progress in small steps that create giant changes to ensure the sustainability of change and growth.
I believe in the importance of self-determined change, as people are more motivated and driven to make essential and valuable changes for their development. Clients sometimes must question existing self-limiting beliefs, permit themselves to move into discomfort, and create new behaviors that may not initially feel authentic.
"The courage to be vulnerable is not about winning or losing. It's about the courage to show up when you can't predict or control the outcome."

"The greatest point of influence you have on another persons life is the choice you make in your own."
- Dr. Jim Sharp
"I define leadership as anyone who takes responsibility for finding the potential in people and processes, and who has the courage to develop the potential."
