Have you ever been with someone who has exuberance for life that’s infectious? Have you ever met someone who made you feel better the second you sat down? That’s Reggie Adams, founder and professional coach at Reggie’s Coaching Academy. Reggie never intended to become a life and business coach. It was a call she answered long before the term existed and the concept ever became popular. Her work as a professional coach started 25 years ago with her leadership positions at Mary Kay and Creative Memories, where she helped some of their brightest leaders in Canada and the western United States improve their businesses and follow their hearts. When she left Corporate America to stay at home with her daughter, the calls continued. Women from across the country left messages, asking if she would “coach” them like she had done in the past. She began returning the calls and Reggie’s Coaching Academy took shape. A decade later, Reggie’s Coaching Academy serves thousands of clients from all over the world and remains a pioneer with its GUTS and Immersion programs. Reggie earned her Life Coach certification from The Coaches Training Institute and enjoys using her training and knowledge to journey with others on a path of balance, purpose and peace.

Barbara Banks is a Life Coach and Founder of Whole Heart Life and WHOOP™: Whole-Heartedly Opening Our Purpose, a group for women who want to discover and embrace their spirit and purpose in 5 areas of their life: Heart, Head, Hands, Home, and Health. After 15 years as a therapist, Barbara realized that therapy implies that people are broken – in need of fixing – and that the therapist has the answers, insight, and ability to fix them. Therapy also concentrates on the past and on traumas. Barbara has come to prefer coaching, as it sees people from a place of wholeness and wisdom, and concentrates on the present and future. Coaching is not about fixing; it is about discovering.
