What is 3F Coaching?

Faith · Focus · Follow Through Coaching is a national coaching business providing dynamic business planning, juicy life planning, and nutritious accountability to profitable entrepreneurs, small business owners, teams, sales professionals and to ambitious & determined individuals who want a larger life.

It starts with asking what’s possible and exercising the Faith to know the possible can happen. The next step is to narrow the Focus and be very intentional about setting up an environment for success – saying “no” to the opportunities that don’t fit and “yes” to the opportunities that do fit. Once we know what is possible and have defined our intentions it is time to get to work and Follow Through. Our hope is that 3Fcoaching will hold out for you the nutritious accountability that pulls you toward your larger life.


How are coaching services delivered?

Most of our coaching is done by phone. We offer individual coaching as well as group coaching by phone. We also offer on site workshops, keynotes and a variety of other programs and packages.


Is coaching similar to therapy?

Faith · Focus · Follow Through Coaching is NOT therapy. Therapy is designed to help you deal with your past and get closure with family concerns or negative life experiences. 3Fcoaching takes up where therapy leaves off and moves you forward in your life. It works best for people who are ready to step out on faith and focus on goals by following through with an action plan that moves them towards living a larger life.


Why do I need a coach?

Serious athletes, actors and politicians have understood the value of being coached in order to achieve their highest potential. These professionals would never “go it alone” without a coach, so why should you? If you could have achieved your desired life without a coach – you would have already done it!


Can’t I by-pass a coach and get this type of assistance from a friend or family member?

An outsider with no personal investment in the client’s life, career or organization is free to address challenging and touchy issues in a constructive and supportive manner. On a personal note, advice from friends and relatives can be helpful. But are they willing to be totally honest or would that put your relationship at risk? A good coach will be open, honest and direct. A Faith Focus Follow Through coach is also ready to cheer you on to rapid victories and celebrate your successes!


How can I benefit from using a coach?

Every person in the world is created for a specific purpose…and that includes you! There is a destiny that only you can fulfill. Many people are not living in the reality of that destiny for a variety of reasons – often due to barriers that are holding them back. Some make it through while others never do. If you’re stuck – freaked out or falling apart – we can help.


What are some of the barriers your clients experience?

  • They don’t believe they can create their future
  • Opposition from negative people
  • Lack of focus
  • Unclear direction
  • Insufficient time and energy
  • Over-committed schedules
  • Procrastination

What will my coach and I focus on during our one-on-one coaching sessions?

You set the agenda. Common situations include: bringing clarity and focus to what you are attempting to accomplish, prioritizing your daily activities, spending more time building your personal, work, and spiritual relationships, understanding how to make the best use of your strengths, etc. We discuss what is working and what isn’t working. Then we create a plan of action for you to take the necessary steps from where you are to where you want to be.


How long will we work together if I choose Individual Custom Coaching by phone?

The length of time varies depending on the project or the package that you select. If you select individual custom coaching by phone, a minimum 6-month commitment is recommended in order to achieve the greatest benefit.

Do you offer one-time special project coaching or brainstorming?
