How has coaching helped you?
Coaching gave me determination, confidence, and guidance in the areas I wanted to grow in. It has helped me in decisions regarding school, career, and my personal development. It was also a tremendous help when I received coaching for my relationships with my dad and current girlfriend.
What have you benefited most from coaching w/ Scott?
I now know and understand myself much more. I know my strengths, weaknesses, how I work, and what makes me tick. By being able to identify things about myself, it's easier to relate to others and understand their differences. Once I know myself it's easy to set my priorities and values. So when ever I need to make a decision, it's fast and efficient because my premeditated priorities have pretty much already decided for me.
Would you recommend coaching to others?
Yes! I would recommend coaching. It's good if you're not sure about something. It's also good if you're sure about everything, because even though you may think everything is perfect, coaching could help you identity areas where you can develop even further. I think there's always room for growing.
That’s Eric’s “Coaching Experience”…What do you think? Have any questions?

Coaching Profile: Keri Kaba
Keri Kaba
Owner of Kabahead Kreations & Victory Fellowship Church Youth Director
Length of Coaching: 7 months
How has coaching helped you?
Coaching has helped me to identify and consolidate all of my ideas and skills and focus them in one direction, enabling me to be a more effective leader.
What have you benefited most from coaching w/ Scott?
Scott knows the ins and outs of running a ministry, teams, or a business and has been able to pass on a lot of his knowledge and first-hand experience to me, which has helped me problem-solve and make decisions. It is also great to have someone follow up on the goals and tasks that I set for myself so that I don't forget or ignore them.
Would you recommend coaching to others?
Yes! I'm learning more and more that in any profession, connecting with people who are able to guide you and provide insight into your work is important for growth. Coaching does just that--it is an intentional connection that you make on a regular basis, which grows you in a way you can't just get from reading a book or attending a one-time seminar.

Leadership Profile: Vanessa Van Petten
Here is the first installment of "Leadership Profiles." I have asked a series of questions to up and coming leaders that I know personally. They will share their thoughts on leadership and you can respond and interact with them!
Vanessa Van Petten
Teen Author of You're Grounded! and Creator of OnTeensToday.com
How has "Teens Today" affected you as a leader?
Building a blog, a company and a brand from scratch has been one of the most difficult and fun things I have ever had to do. In terms of being a leader, it taught me to be patient and to keep working even if I did not always know the final outcome I was working toward. I have had to inspire youth and parents and that has made me conscious of my every word and action and how it would affect my readers and users.
Who are some leaders who have been role models for you?
Candice Carpenter, the founder of iVillage has been the ultimate role model for me. She has been a leader in the business world, in the online arena, for her readers, and to women everywhere. She created iVillage when there was nothing else like it on the web to bring women entertainment advice and a community. She was able to make money while also doing good things for the world around her.
What is the best advice about being a leader that you'd like to share with everyone?
Dream big, work hard and you will get there.
