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.

Relationships take work but they’re worth it!

It’s a cold, cold world of technology, and let’s face it, the use of technology is increasing every day! One thing for sure, we know technology is never going away, and most everybody would probably agree they want it to stay. However, I believe the challenge here is not the word technology, but the word “cold.” So with that said, how do we warm up our online relationships or even offline relationships and build a rapport that will continue to develop relationships and opportunities in business? Remember, relationship development is so important when making friends, and being genuinely interested is essential! In order to build warm lasting relationships in business, we must find ways to authentically keep in touch and let our customers and prospects know we genuinely care. Here are some ideas for developing lasting business relationships authentically with current customers and prospects:
1. Anniversaries: Show appreciation for a customer yearly on the date they became your customer.
2. Celebrate birthdays: This is one of the most important dates in a person’s life, and everyone loves to feel celebrated on their birthday.
3. Thank you’s: Saying thank you (whether or not someone makes a purchase) is crucial if you ever want future business and referrals.
4. Holiday greetings: Sending holiday greeting cards is a powerful way to remind customers and prospects you’re grateful for and wish them the best in the new year.
5. Nice to meet you: Follow up messages after meeting with a candidate is a great way to stay top of mind and reopen a conversation.
6. Random acts of kindness: Often, we think of someone randomly, and that’s when it’s essential to let them know you are thinking of them.
7. Recognizing challenges: When you see or hear about someone struggling with a challenge, make sure to reach out in support of them, this could make all the difference they may need.
8. Triumphs: A quick phone call, text message, or handwritten note celebrating this triumph will make a positive impact on your relationship.
9. Meeting up in person: Getting together in person builds an understanding of who someone is when you see them and listen to them face to face.
10. Checkups: When someone purchases a service or product from you, checking in with them can make sure their questions are answered and their needs are met.
Most importantly, be genuine and show interest in the people who do business with you; this is how you develop relationships that will grow into other business opportunities.
