At Living by Design, we have witnessed an abundance of evidence to support our belief that you carry with you the answers to most of the ‘life questions’ you seek. Is it possible that those answers are hiding behind fear, swallowed up in disbelief, or squelched by a lack of faith? We believe this is not only possible, but true for many, and we would like nothing better than the opportunity to support you to discover, uncover, transcend the pain and/or learn to live and love your self and your life in a way you never thought possible. You are a unique creation with a very special purpose.

Erma has truly been a role model and inspiration in her personal ability to cope with life challenges. Her level of spirituality and maturity is one I aspire to reach.

Eve has the natural smarts and skill for selling…she could ‘sell an ice cube to an Eskimo’ as people often say. Yet, she did not perform on a consistent basis to be successful. Since the coaching she received, I have observed a lot of positive changes. The most evident change was how she was able to say “No.” She is also been able to sustain her focus over a longer period and she is keeping it up — I have never seen her so focused, so energized and so consistent. There is a high degree of confidence. She raised the level of her team, her business and making money — and she is really having FUN now!
To sum it up, Lynn’s coaching was the glue that helped Eve put the pieces together and helped her develop the discipline she needed to make it all happen.

I have had the privilege to experience relationship with Erma on both a personal and coaching level. As peers participating in the coaching program, the leadership taken by Erma is incredible. Thru Erma’s life lessons and experiences, she is able to bring much discernment, listening, and feedback to others who have experienced similar situations. Having both experienced loss of a person dear to us in the past year, our bond has grown even stronger. She is a lighthouse standing strong withstanding the waves and sunshine life has brought to her!

I truly appreciate Lynn’s style of coaching. She held, supported and created the space for change to occur in all areas of my life that are of importance to me. The most challenging for me was related to my business; things that seemed impossible have taken on a whole new realm of possibility. I’m very thankful for her coaching; it has made such an impact in my life.
— Alana, Oregon
I truly believe that God puts people in ‘our’ path who inspire and motivate us. Lynn, that’s what you do for me! You’re such an amazing person…thanks for all you do!
— Charity, North Carolina
I was attracted to the coaching program because I feel it truly helps people find themselves and become the people God intended. The coaching program has enabled me to totally transform. I began to reclaim my life last September and I have had radical changes. In just nine months I have changed careers, become very involved in the Church community, I am a better parent and friend. I have had very consistent progress under the coaching program and I cannot wait to see what is in store for me in the next few months!

I was on my way out. I mean rock bottom. I had lost the drive and passion for the business and was on cruise control for most of my career. I had become a stream… but now I am a river with a 54% increase over last year in my ship (team)! Now why couldn’t I do this by myself? I read all the books, went to hours of training – 13 years worth – and I HAVE THE SUPPORTIVE HUSBAND! I was ready to be coached…it taught me a valuable lesson. Not only did I go through the dream process but so did my team… and we are all rocking and rolling as we dream for bigger and better things! Just take one step at a time… but DO TAKE THAT FIRST STEP. It is amazing to live your dreams instead of wishing about it… really…

I’ve enjoyed a professional relationship with Lynn for over 3 years. She is one over one hundred clients that I work with on a regular basis, but she is one of a kind. She is kind, patient, and generous with her attention and faith. And when she asks how your weekend was, she is truly interested in your answer. She seems to possess a gift that allows her to pick up on slight nuances, and she can always tell exactly what kind of mood I’m in within the first 30 seconds of our exchange. She consistently offers her support and attention, and always has uplifting and inspiring things to say. She is also brave enough to share her own life’s triumphs and struggles, a trait that I believe is rare. Through all of it, Lynn wears her faith like a badge of honor and she is breath of fresh air. I would trust Lynn with my deepest joys and hurts and I am blessed to be able to call her a friend. Any one who has the opportunity to work with Lynn, either professionally or personally, will benefit tremendously.

Lynn and I have known each other for approximately 20 years. I can absolutely say without reservation that she is one of the nicest people I know. I do not make this statement about everyone, but she is one of the “best”. She truly treats everyone she meets with respect. Lynn has a very deep faith, she does not “preach” her faith, but it is with her at all times. She never has a bad word to say about anyone and you just know if you really need a friend, you can call on her. She has the ability to read your mood and knows how to react to your mood. I feel very fortunate to have Lynn as a friend. Whether I see her on a daily basis or see her once a month, she always has her beautiful smile ready for me, and I know if I have a problem, I can call on her.

Michelle, I took what you said and put it into practice today about an evening cleansing. It was a very stressful day. I went with a friend to a park and walked down to the lake where the sun was setting. I took some deep breaths and just released the negative energy from today. I couldn’t believe the difference in how I felt physically, emotionally, spiritually! You’re coaching even when you think you’re just having a conversation!
— Danette, North Carolina
One of the most awesome experiences and breakthroughs I have been able to experience through coaching was between Michelle and her sister. Through one of the coaching processes, a relationship that had been strained for years was rekindled. As a result a family relationship was restored in a matter of hours. What a joy to be a part of the personal growth sparked and completed through the coaching process!

Personal Homecoming was a much needed chance to slow down from the hectic pace of my life and reflect on who I am, where I am, what I’m doing, and how all of that relates to the aspirations and goals I have for my life. The retreat was a chance to gain inner clarity and refocus myself to a lifestyle that best suits my own wellbeing and will help to move me down a path to a more happier, healthier, more fulfilled life.
— Stacey, North Carolina
To me, coaching is a step toward making the most of yourself. Through the processes and techniques offered, you can really discover where your motivations lie and create a course for your life that is more meaningful, enriching, and fulfilling. I believe that each and every person in today’s fast-paced world deserves the opportunity to benefit from the coaching process.
