Philosophy

     Dr. T. J.'s philosophy was shaped by so many in her village but mostly by the strong women in her life: her grandmother (Ma Mary), Big Mama, her mother (Ree), her Auntee Lou, Dr. Carpentar (her college English professor), the Nuns from the Convent of Divine Providence at St. Anthony's Catholic Elementary School. and, most noteably, her grandmother (Ma Mary) and her Big Mama.  At the age of 11, seeds of care and service to others were planted in her heart as she witnessed her family provide support for other families in need in their community.  

     Her drive, even as a young girl, was to do good, to care for others, to make a difference, to help make good things happen in her community and to help others transform to be, do and have, their very best.  This helped shape Dr. T. J.'s personal philosophy.  It also helped her began to fully recognize and embrace her purpose and her Divine assignment, that is, to serve and to care for others and to help others reach for, discover and fulfill their own purpose...and to do so, on purpose.
 

     Dr. T.J. believes as Zig Ziglar said to all of us "You were designed for accomplishment, engineered for success, and endowed with the seeds of greatness."  As a Zig Ziglar Certified Legacy Speaker, Trainer and Coach, Dr. T.J. passionately seeks to help people experience a deeper connection with who they are, with who they dream to become, and understand why this  dream and how to achieve it!!

    Just like these extraordinary women and others in her life, Dr. T. J. seeks to change the world by dispensing hope, inspiration & encouragement through the tools, gifts and talents which God provided to her, whether speaking, training, teaching or coaching.  For example, one such tool is DISC--a powerful personality tool for understanding self and others and for building stronger and more productive relationships in your personal and professional life, whether in the context of family dynamics or in the work environment focused on team, customer, client or other business relationships. 

     DR. TJ'S LIFE MISSON: To inspire, encourage and coach others to experience the joy of living "on purpose," achieving their goals and reaching their Divinely inspired dreams.

When asked about her Purpose, Dr. T. J. explains:

    "I am the happiest when I have the opportunity to help somone else discover their life purpose, gifts and talents and to help them experience that "aha" moment in realizing their own purpose or their own seeds of greatness. When that happens... she says,  ...this is when I know that I am fulfilling my purpose and, in that moment, I experience the awesome joy of just another little glimpse of heaven."

 Building People and Transforming Lives...on Purpose...that's what I do!
