MY HUSBAND AND I WENT TO TAMARA MARCELLA FOR BUSINESS COACHING. WE HAD FINALLY HAD A BREAKTHROUGH ON WHAT WE WANTED TO DO, BUT MOVING ONE IDEA INTO A FULL BLOWN BUSINESS WAS A DAUNTING TASK. TAMARA PATIENTLY LISTENED WHILE WE EXPLAINED WHAT WE WANTED TO MAKE, AND HOW, AND WHERE WE WERE IN THE PROCESS. SHE HELPED US ORGANIZE OUR THOUGHTS, IDENTIFY OUR PURPOSE, AND PICK A DIRECTION FOR THE NEXT YEAR, AND THE YEARS FOLLOWING. TAMARA HAS ALSO BEEN KEEPING US ACCOUNTABLE BY CHECKING IN WITH US, AND CONFIRMING THAT WE’VE MADE THE PROGRESS WE ALL AGREED TO, AND PROVIDING ENCOURAGEMENT AND GUIDANCE WHEN WE’VE STALLED OUT. MY FAVORITE PART OF WORKING WITH TAMARA, HOWEVER, IS HOW EXCITED SHE IS FOR OUR BUSINESS. IT’S BASED ON A HOBBY THAT SHE DOESN’T PARTICIPATE IN, BUT SHE GOT SO ENTHUSIASTIC FOR EACH IDEA, EACH STEP OF PROGRESS, AND EACH SUCCESS, THAT I COULDN’T HELP BUT FEEL WE WILL SUCCEED. SHE’S BEEN AVAILABLE WHEN WE’VE NEEDED TO ASK QUESTIONS, AND SHE’S BEEN OUR BIGGEST CHEERLEADER; BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE, SHE ISN’T AFRAID OF HARD CONVERSATIONS, AND SHE’S WILLING TO SPEAK TRUTH IN LOVE. WE COULDN’T BE MORE GRATEFUL THAT WE FOUND HER, AND SHE HAD THE TIME AND SPACE TO HELP COACH US. BRIAN & SHARAH BLANKENSHIP,
