Kathleen Brooks ... Speaks on Building Courage to Do Hard Things
Working with women to build courage
to do the hard things God is calling them to do is my passion.
Inspiring them to face their fears, fight for their dreams
and dare
to know and be bold for the Lord is my goal.
Hi, my name is Kathleen Brooks and I believe that building courage is critical,
not just during hard times we encounter, or on ordinary days,
but also when we have extraordinary opportunities to excel.
If you want to build your courage personally or on an
organizational level to do hard things ...
be they challenging or exciting ...
I would be honored to show you how.

"One of our primary goals at Joni and Friends Family Retreat is to send the families home with new tools and resources to help them as they deal with the many life challenges they face due to disability. This year, I think we rang the bell! Kathleen came to the retreat and brought a Personal Retreat toolbox full of wonderful ideas. For a couple of good hours, she taught our FR moms how to create their own little personal retreat… how to take care of themselves by drawing closer to the Lord. What a blessing it was for me to hear the moms as they talked about how they were going to put into practice these new ideas."

Do you or those in your organization need to build Courage?
I personally know the deep need for courage to face hard life battles, fight for your dreams and do hard
things while following your passion and the Lord’s call on your life.
I am a Christian woman with country roots-and-boots.
I am a grateful survivor of heartache, heartbreak, and cancer ... among other life battles.
I am an entrepreneur, a business woman, a wife, mom, mom-in-law, Granma, daughter, sister, aunt
and friend.
As a professional speaker and a Master Certified Christian Life Coach my focus is to help
women build their courage which I have learned about from not just my
own experiences but from working with many women for decades.
I am fiercely committed to inspiring, guiding and working with women who are in life battles of
many kinds. I typically speak to and work with women willing to do battle with their fears, fight
for their dreams and Do Hard Things. These are women warriors who own their need to build courage in
their personal lives, in their leadership responsibilities, in their professional lives
and in their calling.
Are you or your organization looking for building blocks to gear-up and get equipped for
courageous growth and transformation?
My passion and specialty is encouraging women to
lean into their relationship with Jesus, trust Him at His Word
and boldly do the hard things they
are being called to do.
I absolutely love watching women build their courage, grow and become warriors
for their dreams and against their fears.
I am here to help you too!
Do you want to create an experience that continues to impact and
grow the people who attend your event ... long after it has finished?
Giving people tools and inspiration to help build their courage to do hard
things, fight for their dreams and against their fears can be life-altering.
Inspiring women to break personal barriers and becoming leaders ... women
of influence ... who build businesses, careers, ministries and the people in
their lives is the heartbeat of who I am and what I do.
Building Courage and influence helps women as they become involved in
changing the world around them. This is truly a noble challenge and is only
accomplished with intention, focus and discipline.
Let's build on these simple but important steps together!
COURAGE STACKING:
THE ART OF DOING HARD THINGS
Sometimes it takes something extra to be willing to take a stand when
it feels like you just might have to take that stand alone. When you
feel convicted by the Holy Spirit to speak the Truth of God's Word into a
situation but you know in doing so you are refusing to blend in.
You know you will need the courage it will take to be "different,"
to "swim upstream" of people you love or the culture we live in,
or even be the rebel or renegade in "this situation."
God gives us the COURAGE we need
... He Builds our Courage ...
when we are willing to step out in faith and trust the results to Him.
But how and where do you start?
This talk, woven with inspirational stories, will help you identify the Truth about where you are right now, develop a simple Why ... what is more important than the fear holding you back in stepping forward ... and help you think through and create a game plan that helps you to Do Something!
THREE KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Identify the TRUTH of where you are standing ... what are you wrestling with and what is the fear behind it.
- Understand your WHY ... what or who is more important than your fear? What is at stake if you do not have courage and succumb to your fear?
- Begin to think through and plan the forward momentum of Doing Something and "running-the-mile-you're-in!"
You are a person of influence ... a person in leadership whether or not you know it, want it, or accept that it is true about you.
Listen. Learn. Encourage.
And conversely, you have been influenced by others ... by people, and by their stories ... choose your influencers wisely.
We need to consistently develop, intentional habits that develop our influence and leadership. We need to consistently make wise choices about who and what we follow ...
the influencers and influences in our lives.
This takes COURAGE.
This talk will help empower you to identify and develop relationships with influencers, people with integrity who live with godly virtues as their guide. It will help you develop how you "see" others, how you listen with your heart and connect with people. It will show you how to stay in the "lane" of the "encourager" to people you influence.
THREE KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Understand that who and what you are influenced by matters ... choose wise influencers to learn to lead in wise ways.
- Influencing in the moment means choosing courage to listen, to "see and observe" and then to connect.
- Prepare an intentional game plan to be influenced and to influence as a leader called to make a difference.
