Laurie Delk - author, speaker, coach, trainer

Laurie's life journey is a testament to unwavering faith, entrepreneurial spirit, and the transformative power of resilience. Rooted in a lifelong foundation of Christian values, instilled from her upbringing and a pivotal move from Texas to Middle Tennessee in 1986, Laurie embarked on a path marked by both professional achievement and personal devotion.

In 1993, driven by a profound desire to nurture her growing family, Laurie made a courageous decision to transition from a decade-long, successful career as an accountant at a Fortune 500 company. This pivotal moment, coinciding with her husband's aspiration to pursue his calling in law enforcement, became a catalyst for a life dedicated to purpose and service. Through prayerful consideration, they embraced both paths, demonstrating a commitment to faith-led action.

God has uniquely privileged Laurie to serve Him in numerous capacities over the past few decades. Her entrepreneurial journey began with the inception of her web & graphics, branding, marketing, and design company. Recognizing her talents as gifts to be shared, she pledged to utilize her skills for divine purpose. This commitment manifested in the creation of over a thousand websites, marketing materials, training platforms, and courses for pastors, churches, evangelists, missionaries, colleges, and a diverse range of business clients. Her expertise extended to comprehensive rebranding initiatives, empowering organizations to articulate their vision with clarity and impact.

Beyond her business acumen, Laurie is a prolific author, having penned the best-selling books "Keep Those Clients" and "We All Have Choices," and co-founded the transformative "Gratitude Girls - 100 Day Gratitude Journal Challenge." She has also contributed her insights to three additional publications. As a sought-after motivational speaker and corporate sales trainer, Laurie inspires audiences with her authentic voice and empowering message, often called upon for special speaking engagements around the world. Her dedication to education is further evidenced by her five years of teaching at her children's Christian school and her subsequent decision to homeschool them, allowing her to balance her growing speaking career with her commitment to family.

Her mission to empower women to embrace their God-given potential has taken her across the globe, where she shares her wisdom and encouragement with diverse audiences. Laurie's life, however, has not been without profound challenges. In 2013, she experienced the devastating loss of her children's father in a tragic accident, navigating the complexities of grief while raising her four children, then aged 25, 18, 16, and 12.

Believing in God's guidance for her life, Laurie remarried in April 2020 to Kevin Radecki, following their meeting in December 2019. Laurie prayed for exactly what she wanted in a husband and God showed Himself strong in giving her more than she asked in a God-fearing and God-loving husband.

Laurie's unique experiences over the past few decades provide special insight and encouragement for those who take her courses. Her story is a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit, the transformative power of faith, and the profound impact of living a life dedicated to purpose and service. Her journey inspires others to embrace their own unique paths, to overcome adversity with grace, and to live with unwavering gratitude and purpose.

Get over it?

When I #speak at #events on #grief and #widows at #ministry and #church events and more all over the world, I mention and use this ALL the time…..

I *very much dislike* the people that use that #phrase #getoverit…..

If grief, especially a spouse, (but also other relationships) you didn’t get #divorced (or lose them), you didn’t #choose to leave and put that behind you.

Example of Bryan Delk – he went to #heaven, so it’s not like a divorce, where I put my life w him behind me….that will #NEVER happen.

I may decide to #MoveForward in my life, but I am never *moving on*…..Yes, there is a BIG #difference and if you have not lost someone SUPER close to you – you might not understand it – and you won’t till you do…..I never even came close to knowing how it felt till it happened…and I pray you never do…..

Same w my Mom, Jacalyn Baxter Lantrip, and the 8 other major losses I have had the last few years…..I didn’t choose to lose her – she was one of my best friends my whole life……I will always love and miss her and never *move on* from that…..

Now I will CHOOSE to live my life to the fullest and try to the way #God wants me to, as that is what those that have gone on before me would want for me…..

Yes cry, yes get angry, yes beat your pillow if that makes you feel better….but then get up and move forward…..cuz you are still breathing for a reason…… #MakeADifference in your #Dash while you are here <3

Do you write down goals, plans and aspirations?

Do you write your thought, plans, goals, etc down? I probably have thousands of these index cards I have wrote on over the years…..writing down makes a difference! And they are neat to go back to and reread over the years and she how your goals n thoughts have changed for the better 😊
