My Work... 

​

 

 

Mentoring women and writing are my passion; and my calling is ministering in the areas of women's issues, marriage/relationships, and family/parenting. What do I love about writing and coaching? They both allow me to use my creative juices while serving others.

​

So what makes me different from the last coach (whose website you recently visited), you ask? Well, it's my artful ability to incorporate my God-given gift of storytelling and entertaining into my coaching, coupled with practical teaching and my total reliance on the Holy Spirit — to bring a whole new experience for my clients. My background in ministry gives me a perspective on coaching that most coaches don't have.

 

My A-1 sauce is magnetic inspiration! And I'm convinced this comes via one of the spiritual gifts God has anointed me with (which I like to call my "superpower") — the gift of faith (the supernatural ability to trust God's Word and His promises and inspire others to trust Him, no matter the circumstance or conditions). Unbeknownst to me, as a child, God was preparing me to operate in this gift through my ability to imagine the unimaginable. And when I connected the dots as to why (as a child) my imagination was so grandiose, I fully embraced God's grace and anointing (to do what I do) and operate in it, which led to the unfolding of my purpose - to empower others to think and dream big concerning their lives. I'm passionate about encouraging and helping others see their full potential and won't let them give up. And I'm willing to put in extra time to make it happen. I catapult my clients to the next level without being pushy or overbearing. I know when to give them a nudge and when to let them take the lead. Not to mention—I make it a point to earnestly pray for each of my clients, getting wisdom and clarity from God on how to best serve them. (This isn't just my work, it's my ministry.) You'll leave coaching sessions with me, on fire, inspired, confident, and equipped with the tools needed to maneuver through life successfully. This, in turn, transfers to those around you. 

 

The approach and techniques I use for one client, may not be used for anyone else. Because we're all different, I believe we should be coached differently. I purposefully only take on a few clients at a time. That way, I'm able to fully commit and dedicate my entire attention to them. This allows me to connect with those I work with on a more personal level—fostering an environment of trust, where meaningful work and revolutionary breakthroughs happen. My Signature programs and premium packages were created to include these essential elements, allowing my clients to envision the unlimited potential they have lying within. I teach my clients how to use their imagination (it's not just for children, but it's something God gave us all), coupled with their faith (guess what... another awesome thing God gave us) to create the (Ephesians 3:20) life He planned for them!

 

With my programs and packages, your best assets (your untapped potential) are allowed to come to the forefront (even the ones you don't think or even know you have). I've got the ability to sometimes see what you were created to do, even before you recognize it, but I'll never force it on you. Because the coaching process I use in my programs allows you to naturally arrive there. Some people call it intuitiveness, but I'm smart enough to know it's Holy Spirit Who lives within me. I'll also show you how to use your gifts and talents to own your worth! And teach you how to eliminate those things from your life that drain you and prevent you from maximizing your assets (empowering you) so you can stop losing out in both your personal and professional life. Showing you how to finally begin to have a love affair with your life! And, to top it off—I know that tapping into Holy Spirit is the surest way to a true transformation, and the possibilities with Him are unlimited!!

As an author, there are three genres of writing I focus on — self-help, realistic fiction, and children's literature. All three (along with my desire to see others live life fully) are the catalyst behind my unique coaching style. I'm a storyteller by nature and telling stories (by that, I don't mean lies) has been a gift of mine for as long as I can remember; and as a child growing up, God gave me a colorful imagination and (thankfully) parents who didn't mind one bit. Summer was always my favorite time of year, as I would go to the library and get as many books as my little scrawny arms could carry. Holing up in my room until I had read every.single.one. I would make up these characters in my head, create stories around them, and, of course, act them out. While in elementary school, I even had a pseudonym (Dana Polinkski), my childhood alias. Don't even ask! I guess I should have known back then I was destined to create.

​

• As an ordained minister and having worked in full-time ministry for 25 plus years, I've been afforded the experience and opportunity of serving and helping others—counseling them, learning the way they think, and why they do what they do—then showing them how to use the Word of God to impact and change their lives. What God has taught me (through His wisdom) over the years has proven to work and my desire is to share with others—in a candid, honest, and to the point way—what I've learned.

​

• I write children's books because, as a child, my imagination started with a book. I want every child to have the experience I had while growing up—books that took me to a world much bigger than what I had ever known. Allowing me to daydream and use my creativity to see things BIG; which carried over into my adulthood, helping me walk out my Kingdom assignment. I want my books to motivate children to read, be creative, envision, and discover their gifts and talents. God gave us the ability to create and conceive in our minds so we could see ourselves doing great things! Unfortunately (as we get older) we listen to the enemy and sadly, some of us lose this.

​

• I write realistic fiction because I love to entertain... plain and simple. I love welcoming people into my world and making them feel good. This knack for entertaining others started when I was a little girl; and my love for comedy sketch shows like Sonny and Cher, The Carol Burnette Show, Tony Orlando and Dawn, and The Flip Wilson Show only fueled my desire to entertain others. Whenever my parents had company over, I would dress up and act out my characters until, of course, they told me to shut it down. Yeah, I was that→ kid! 

 

 

Putting a cast of characters on paper and seeing them develop into people who could easily be someone we know is thrilling to me! The best part... I get to start from scratch, give them names, personalities, a backstory, and turn them into whoever I want them to be. The most fascinating thing about all of this—God gave us all the ability to do the very same thing! He imagined us, then created us, and expects us to take that same concept and apply it to our lives! We're to imagine our future, develop and work on our craft, hone our skills, then use our faith to make our dreams come to fruition! What I love about what I do, is that I get to use this same technique with my clients.

 

My first published book is a self-help book on marriage and relationships, entitled Real Talk (and it's just that). You can find out more information, read an excerpt, and purchase a copy here. I also published my first fiction work, The Roots of Roswell , you can read an excerpt and order your copy here . If you want to read more of my writings, you can visit the site that spearheaded all of this, "Prowess & Pearls". You can connect with me on social media below in the footer. Also, I've launched my new Membership site for mid-life women and you can get all the deets here! If you have any questions, please contact me here. Or you can live chat with me by using the tab in the bottom right-hand corner of the page.

​

My desire is for my work to embolden you, for my writings to inspire and bring a smile to whoever reads them, and for God to be glorified for every life I touch and every person whose life I help change for the better! I'm here to encourage everyone—especially those of you who think you're past your prime—to live out your dreams; because there's no stopping point or cut-off age when you're developing into the real you (I'm living proof)! I'm a firm believer in helping others discover who they are in Christ and how He sees them—in their finished state! My motto in life—I live by and challenge everyone to do... is to "do you well!"!
