Why Work with Me?

with Dr. Lorraine McFarland

Why Work With Me?

I have years of experience in the corporate world as a business analyst, project manager, consultant, management, and business owner.

Throughout my career, I have always been a problem solver… seeking answers or finding solutions to a problem or a series of problems. I believe it was the perfect background to prepare me for the ministry. The call on my life is to work with women; helping them achieve their destiny; helping them move from where they are to where they want to be. Many times I simply translate it by using the phrase “From Pain to Purpose.” I help others move from pain to purpose; moving into their God given destiny.

Jeremiah 29:11 states:

“For I know the plans I have for you”, declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

I am here to help you on your journey! … a safe place for you to show up and be the real you! This is achieved by accomplishing some of the following:

Transformation
Accountability
Freedom
Determination

Art
Creativity
Action Plans
Goal Setting

Soul Searching
Discovery
Writing
Belief

Self Desire
Clarity
Implementation
Evaluation

I am an avid believer that your experience validates and qualifies you, giving you the credibility and credentials to help others overcome areas that you yourself have overcome. Until you walk a mile in someone else’s shoes you cannot begin to understand the struggles. I actually use the simple analogy of weight loss and working out at the gym; a twenty year old weighing 120 pounds comes up to help you and tells you they understand the struggles and how you feel. Impossible! They have no idea what it’s like to have to lose 70 pounds of excess weight.

Until you’ve lost a spouse you have no idea what it’s like… Until you find your husband having an affair you have no idea what it’s like… Until you are a struggling single mom you have no idea what it’s like… Until… Until… And the list goes on!

I relate by utilizing my own personal life struggles in helping others overcome their past and present situations.

I specialize in overcoming the past in the following areas:

Divorce
Infidelity
Grief / Death of Spouse

Sexual Abuse
Insecurity
Abandonment

Shame
Fear
Not Being “Good Enough”

Some Side Notes...

We are all uniquely created! Therefore, we love to have the ladies do a skills assessment to identify their unique personality and skills. It’s always fun to learn about one another. Sometimes it even comes as a surprise to those who have never done an assessment before.
