“There are times that someone enters your life with intentionality and purpose and you are not aware how they will help shape you in profound ways. That was my experience with Andrew. Sure, coaching is something we in leadership are craving and seek out in hopes that someone can help sharpen our rough edges. The thing I didn’t expect was to be placed with someone who cared about all the places in my life that needed to be culled with sensitivity and care. Andrew saw me as a whole person and not just what I brought to the table as a leader in my field. He didn’t just encourage but empowered. He didn’t just inspire but gave me the needed tools to get there. It was the best investment I made in myself, my family and my calling.”

— Kathleen Otchy, Pastor of Community Life

“Sharon has helped me think in new and powerful ways and to consider God’s perspective. Through coaching, I realized that I’ve been standing on the periphery, watching and waiting for things to change. Now, I’m a “game-changer” who influences and connects people. I’ve grown in so many areas of my life - as a daughter, sibling, auntie, friend, co-worker and ministry leader.”

— Jules Mbayia, Ministry Leader in Kenya

“Sharon helped me think in new ways when I was standing at a crossroads and had to make a decision confidently. I’m grateful for her intentionality and care. She asked great questions during each session, and her weekly “check-in” emails were a testament to her faithfulness and desire to see good fruit come out of our sessions. If you need to re-examine things or are seeking to process and think through a decision, I highly recommend Rising Sun Coaching.”

— Dalia Karadsheh, Pharmacist

“When I think of Rising Sun Coaching, the first word that comes to my mind is adventure.  Each time Andrew coaches me, I feel as if I am experiencing new frontiers and endless possibilities with Andrew as my guide.  Andrew's wealth of experiences combined with his desire to help others grow enables him to bring out the best in everyone.  I highly recommend Andrew as he has helped me journey further than I ever thought was possible.”

— Alan Spies, Coach and Consultant

"The best way to describe my experience with Sharon is to say she helped hold up a mirror to my life. As Socrates said, "An unexamined life is not worth living." In the hurry and busy that is life in the big city and ministry - coaching was my accountability to examine, with the eyes of the Lord and a sister, and engage life afresh.  It was practical. It brought revelation. And greatest of all it was used in my life to spur me on to love and good deeds. Sharon has a great way of asking questions, just like Jesus, which caused me to break some cycles of thinking and patterns of behavior that became a habit.  I highly recommend Rising Sun Coaching as a place to pause, examine, and continue on with fresh eyes and a restored spirit.”
