Blake sat down to talk to Shirl Pankratz this week.
From Shirl – “When my husband and I were blessed with our first child I instantly quit my career and became a stay at home, home-educating mother. Now that this season of my life is coming to an end, I was wondering what I should do? After several years of contemplating I realized that I should do what I have been doing all along; mentoring and walking with other ladies through their life journey. Some school thought me worthy of a Doctorates Degree, and didn’t know if I should work off the degree, or what? As I processed this, I decided that a Life Coach, Professional Coach, and a Financial Coach was the best suited for me and the next season of my life.”
“As a Life/Professional/Financial Coach my job is not to retain clients, my job is to walk clients through an area of their lives until they get a handle on it; school, after graduation (high school and or college), career, buying a home, car, boat, and so on, addiction recovery, marriage, death, children (especially the adoption process and or a difficult pregnancy), and whatever else a person may need someone to walk alongside them with. Hopefully as the next event and or season of one’s life, they will come back for more strategic planning or guidance.”
