REALIFE Conversations for Christian Coaches 042: Putting the Heart in Your Business - A Great Conversation with Deanna Gillingham [Enneagram in Your REALWORK]
Building a business has its complexities–but on the flip side, could it really be as simple as taking something you love to do and are skilled at doing that you realize there is a need for in the marketplace, and starting to build from there?
This week's Enneagram in Your REALWORK Series guest, Deanna Cooper Gillingham, has an incredible story of going from Nurse to online entrepreneur.
Through her own personal experience, Deanna discovered an underserved group of people–nurses and social workers who desire to become Case Managers–and developed just what they needed.
In this great conversation, Deanna shares about:
- Her heart as an Enneagram Type 2
- The value of connecting to her Harmony Triad 2-5-8
- Moving to live on a beach in Mexico
- The business she built in some unexpected ways
