Work with me

embrace who God created you to be so you can be confident, passionate, and purposeful no matter the season you’re in.

Want to work together?

Have you ever thought, “I’m so tired of hustling all the time to achieve my goals and still falling short! What do I have to do to stop merely surviving and really start thriving?”

Beloved, it’s time for you to take the “God-Gifted Personal Goal Setting” session, unlock your God-gifted wiring (it IS a gift, I promise!), and understand why you’re stuck surviving instead of thriving each day.

You’ll learn why you’re caught up in the hustle and also why you’ve lost sight of your strengths and just how purposefully, fearfully, and wonderfully God made you… all in under an hour.

How it works:

Do a brief assessment and then hop on a 45-minute Zoom call with me. At the end you’ll know:

Why you forget to leverage your unique, God-gifted personality and strengths. (It’s not what you think.)
How to begin getting out of survival mode and work toward thriving on purpose.
Know exactly tailored-for-you steps how to effectively achieve your goals and use what makes you awesome.

The “God-Gifted Personal Goal Setting” is $97 and I’d love to be of service to you! I only offer 3 sessions each month on a first-come, first-serve basis and I know there will be more requests than I can accommodate. Don’t wait! If you want one, let me know today, and let’s get you on my calendar.

What it’s like to work with Cortney

Here are some takeaways from the incredible human beings I’ve gotten to work with.

I’ve learned to lean into my strengths but also to try and be a bit more “stretchy” and think outside the box of my personality tendencies sometimes. I’ve been reminded to give myself grace and keep in mind that certain things about me aren’t easily changed or ignored.

It’s a fun and enlightening experience. Cortney is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to and she has great ideas! It’s easy to tell that she really cares and wants to help.

Happy client
Fun fact: After our coaching experience, she was able to say “yes” to a great-fitting job and prioritizes adventurous dates with her husband (something we worked on together).

Coaching with Cortney is all about incorporating what I’m doing into my daily life – becoming more aware and using the tools she’s given me. She’s like a personal cheerleader – even in our digital tools and communication – and I’ve felt so lifted up throughout our experience.

I’ve learned so much about who I am and who I am right now. It’s like a breath of fresh air!

Veronica
Happy client
Fun fact: She’s been incorporating our coaching into her own work – serving clients in fitness and nutrition, mompreneur life, and investing in her marriage. Real life happens, and coaching is there to help you do just that.

I’m more aware of why I make the decisions I do in certain situations and why certain situations make me uncomfortable if I use different parts of my personality.

Overall, I understand myself better and have learned a lot about myself based on past decisions and how I need to proceed in the future. It’s been encouraging to learn that I do know myself pretty well – and there’s so much more to learn!

Allison
Happy client
Fun fact: She completed her PhD shortly after coaching while juggling her roles as a rockstar girls’ softball coach, adjunct professor, and church volunteer!

As Cortney worked with students, faculty, and staff, she inspired and motivated them, accepted, understood, and included others, challenged them; and celebrated their achievements.

Do you often feel like your life is jam-packed with “good” stuff but not necessarily what lights you up? Wonder what’s missing?

Christian life coaching may be just what you’re looking for!

Throughout our time together, we’ll focus on helping you embrace who God created you to be so you can confidently step into any season with passion, purpose, and peace.

We’ll do that by…

Clearing out your mental clutter

Sessions 1-2

We’ll dig into how you see yourself. We’ll look at any labels you’ve been using to describe yourself as well as any behaviors, or ideas you’ve picked up that are holding you back from loving yourself as God intended. Maybe you find yourself thinking you’ll never be as competent as other people because of a comment someone you trust said.

By applying reflection, Scripture, and practical faith-building strategies we will begin to rewire your brain so you have a solid foundation for who you are and who you’re not. We do this step first so that you’ll be more confident about your God-given value, know how to filter out unhelpful messages about what you “should” do, and begin to focus on what matters most to you.

Embrace what makes you… YOU!

Sessions 3-4

Sometimes we struggle to embrace who we are because we don’t really, deeply understand ourselves in the first place. In this step, we’ll use a variety of personality assessment tools and resources to uncover your unique, God-gifted personality. Maybe you know you’re an introvert but you’ve never identified what circumstances are energizing or exhausting.

As we unlock new, exciting insights and affirm how well you already know yourself, you’ll see opportunities to be more intentional about how and where you choose to give your time and energy. We do this step now so you have more time to enjoy your life – yay!

Focus on what matters most to YOU

Sessions 5-7

To create a life you love, it’s important to be clear on your values, your priorities, and your goals. They are the guideposts that help you make decisions, build relationships, and solve problems. Maybe you find yourself continually second-guessing whether or not you’re making the “right” decision and it stops you from taking action.

As you get clear on your priorities and goals, we’ll apply a model that looks at your strengths, opportunities, limitations, and threats to understand where you are and develop a compelling vision for where you want to be. Armed with your vision, you’ll be able to move forward with peace and confidence. The result? No more second-guessing yourself! Clear, laser-focused, priorities and goals will fuel your confidence, inform your actions, and eliminate any distractions that used to stop you cold.

Step forward with passion, purpose, and peace

Session 8-10

You’re ready to put your new head and heart knowledge to work! During this step, we’ll brainstorm ways to focus on your top priorities. No more feeling guilty about choosing to focus on what matters most to you and fills your cup – like a leisurely run, crafting project, or even starting that novel you’ve always dreamed of writing!

You’ll implement customized life-giving ideas that help you choose healthy, energizing and loving actions that leverage your unique strengths and accommodate any limitations. We’ll also take time to reflect, assess, and tweak your approaches so that you can focus on what matters most to you and adjust when “life happens”. You will find yourself embracing the God who created you and confidently stepping into any season with passion, purpose, and peace.

Got questions about Christian life coaching?

What IS Christian life coaching?
What is Christian life coaching NOT?
What are some signs that you’re ready for Christian life coaching?
What are some signs that you’re NOT ready for Christian life coaching?
My question isn’t here! What do I do to get answers?

Ultimately, Christian life coaching is all about helping believers in Christ pursue their big goals. and priorities in a way that is in alignment with their faith in Jesus.

Christian life coaching is NOT…

Focused on trying to make you become someone else. God made you YOU on purpose and we’re here to celebrate that.
Preferring one personality type over another. There are no “good” or “bad” personalities. Each personality type is valuable in its own right.
Focused on using self-awareness as a weapon or shield. Instead, it’s about owning our own growth, becoming more self-aware, and more effective in our lives.
A substitute for therapy. Christian life coaching focuses more on enhancing personal and professional skills while therapy typically deals with more complex mental health challenges.
A quick fix. Personal growth and development take time, effort, and commitment. It’s a journey – like learning how to live intentionally with passion and purpose as God’s beloved!
A guarantee of success. While it equips you with tools and strategies to become the best version of yourself, it’s ultimately up to YOU to do the work.
One-size-fits-all. Just as each personality is unique, the coaching experience should be tailored to meet the specific needs and goals of each client.

You’re likely ready to begin Christian life coaching with me if you are…

… then Christian life coaching with me may be exactly what you need. Essentially it’s all about embracing who God intended you to be (including your strengths and weaknesses) so you can become more self-aware, confident, and satisfied in your day-to-day life.

From a faith perspective, it’s a game-changer when you realize that God has uniquely equipped you for great purpose. You’re here to make an impact in a way that only you can. Let’s unwrap that gift and better understand it together!

Not interested in leveraging your strengths and limitations
