The Dodsons November 2023 on their family’s land.
I am a follower of Christ, wife, mom, daughter, sister, aunt, friend, coach and speaker. What a joy it is to wear all of these hats! I am most particularly blessed to be married to Ricky, and deeply thankful to be raising two sons in beautiful North Carolina.
In June 2013, we took a family trip to visit missionary friends in Kenya, Africa. I can say that trip changed my life. I came back from Africa knowing that there had to be more to life. I knew God was calling me make changes—personally and professionally—and in 2014, I discovered my passion for coaching.
As a client paired with a coach, I became fascinated with the process of partnering on an action plan that moved me forward in specific and tangible ways. I knew I wanted to be that kind of partner to others, someone to hold the “sacred space” of self discovery and personal development. It’s been an amazing experience!
In 2015, I sought training through the Presence-Based Leadership Development® coaching program based in Asheville, N.C., and also later trained with the Professional Christian Coaching Institute.
After coaching part-time for two years, I eventually left my corporate role to become a coach full time, partnering with Christian women in media and communication who are business professionals, entrepreneurs and individuals. We partner through an inspiring, prayer filled, thought-provoking, and creative process to pursue their best life personally and professionally.
I established Your Christian Coach, LLC, in 2017, the same year I became an Associate Certified Coach™ through the International Coaching Federation (ICF).
In 2019, the Lord called me to “Be a voice,” and I launched my speaker services arm of Your Christian Coach. Through the years, I have spoken at ministry associations, business networking organizations, member-owned fraternal financial services, online groups, teacher sororities, men’s and women’s church events, and employee resource groups.
I have been blessed to work with many amazing mangers and teams through the years, and those experiences inspire me to bring that same dedication to helping others. As a part of that passion, I earned my credential as a Strengths Champion Certified Coach® in 2023, and I have expanded my services to bring Strengths coaching to boards, business teams and groups.
In 2024, I continued in my coaching journey by moving to the next level as a Professional Certified Coach™ through ICF. I am so excited to continue to share my strengths and talents with Christian women in media and communication.
In addition to my coaching journey: From 2021 to 2022, I was honored to serve as the cohost of a podcast, “Love & Encouragement To Live By,“ with Christian Author T. S. Thompson. Our 82 episodes are still touching lives today!
Thanks to my 30+ years of experience in corporate and non-profit work along with my coach training and support from my personal coaches, I bring the experience needed to help you identify gaps in where you are today while making action plans taking you to where you want to be tomorrow.
