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.

Healthy Salmon and Broccoli Dinner

This is one of my favorite healthy dinners. I get wild caught alaskan salmon, put it in a skillet on #4, put a little real butter in the pan, then sprinkle on top some garlic powder, chili powder, sea salt, pepper, and Bragg’s Nutritional Yeast. Put a lid on it, and cook 10 min. Come back, flip them, and scoop any butter/seasoning mix back on top of the salmon. Cook another 10 min w lid.

Broccoli – I get green giant broccoli florets, or I buy organic fresh and just use the tops. Put a little real butter in a skillet, sprinkle with garlic powder, onion salt, and some Mrs Dash southwest chipotle seasoning. Simmer over #4 w lid, while the salmon cooks.

I promise, this will make the pickiest eaters, love eating healthy 🙂

Adults need new friends too

Making new friends is an expected part of childhood. But is it only for children? If you have found yourself alone and seeking adult interaction, get out and find some new friends! Using these helpful suggestions, you can meet new people with ease!

Find a common ground. Do you remember your first day of school? You looked around the room seeking to find someone with whom you might have something in common in hopes of making a new friend. Not much has changed! Whether you are at work or a local event, look around and find something that you have in common with someone else, such as a particular brand of purse or a runner’s watch. Are they wearing a charm bracelet? Ask them about the meaning of the different charms. Find a common denominator between you and another person and build on it!

Volunteer. Find a group that is accepting volunteers and sign up to help! You will be helping out a great cause and meeting new people at the same time. Pick an area that you know about or have a passion for, so there will be an immediate interest for you and your potential new friends! Check local schools, libraries and churches for volunteer positions!

Join a club. Most areas have civic clubs, so call your local Chamber of Commerce and find out about adult clubs in your area. Once in a club, volunteer to help out as often as you can. Be an active member! Look for clubs that are personal, too, like a book club or a sewing club.

Look online. Sometimes people with similar interests get together for meetings or chat sessions via the internet. This does not have to be local! Find a forum about something that interests you or gives you passion and chat with the members.

Most importantly, be yourself! Your potential new friends will get to know you, so be yourself! Do not try to be something you are not. If you do not like reading, don’t join a book club. If you dislike running, do not go to a track looking for new friends. Join activities that actually interest you.

Adults need interaction, too. Surround yourself with others who have similar interests, and you will be surrounding yourself with great friends!

Reflections of our younger married days

You know, I remember when we were a younger married couple, we worked hard, he worked 2 jobs many times the police dept and a moonlighting job either security at the mall or mowing lawns, with my first I was the accountant at Home Depot for almost 9 years, then when our 2nd came, I decided I wanted to not miss all the firsts and be there with my kids, and I never saw him because he was on evenings or nights and I was on days. So I worked from home running a daycare/preschool when my kids were little, later got into web and graphic design and then my greeting card company and my networking luncheons.

Anyway, NOW, that I am in my 40’s, AND he is no longer here… website here.today I am reflecting on those words I heard many others tell us when we were young and trying to work hard to *get the best* and to *rest* later when we were older – “CHERISH the times you have together, you don’t have to work so hard to have the best of the best, be happy with what you have, your family is the most important, stay close to them and love them, because one day – you might not have them to love, cherish and spend time with”

I AM GLAD I did choose to find things I could to work from home no matter how hard it was at the beginning, and how many hours I put in, I still got to do it from home and be here for him when he was here and be here for all my kids, raising them, and still help to support our family, so he did not have to be gone from us as much….just reflecting…
