Women share wisdom, Wow moments

In
recognition of National Life Coach
Week, I would like to share the
details of a wonderful seminar,
Wisdom of Women, or
Wow, conducted
by Lucy Wellmaker, and my experience
working with her.
Lucy is a woman of wisdom, and she
is sharing her knowledge with her
fellow parishioners of Saint Pius X
in Greensboro.
She holds a master's degree in
counseling from UNCG and is a life
coach who provides guidance to help
people create a life they love.
As a member of the group that began
in September, I have come to
experience what Lucy refers to as
"wow moments," discovering wisdom
revealed to me through reflection
and exploration of the topics
presented in her workshop, Wisdom of
Women -- Wow.
Each session focuses on a topic that
stimulates a discussion which
encourages us to share the
challenges and solutions we
experience in our lives.
Lucy listens intently as we reveal
our feelings based on reactions to
subjects such as "Choose wisely" and
"Wisdom in relationships."
Her sensitivity to our human spirit
helps guide us through the emotions
and concerns we express, reminding
us to be gentle with ourselves as we
go though the journey to self
discovery.
We are treated to weekly messages
which reinforce the action plans we
take away from our sessions.
I have been compelled on several
occasions to respond to Lucy telling
her how I was able to see more
clearly the wisdom I needed to
accomplish a certain task, or relax
and let go of something that was not
really significant to me and the
others in my life.
I truly feel that connecting to
these "wow moments" is leading me
toward finding the way to live my
life as God intended. Thank you to
Lucy and the other women in my group
for helping me with this.

"With
her quiet, non-judgmental manner, Lucy always seems to
ask the right questions. She has the ability to bring
out the personal stories that people have, and allows
them to confront fears/worries without being negative.
Lucy is definitely a "Well Maker."
--a former 'victim' who now observes her own behavior,
thanks to Lucy. "Prior
to coaching, I don't think I was giving any of my time
or energy to figuring out what I needed - I was just
reacting to my everyday circumstances."
