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.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy Hanukkah

Cherish the moments….
Capture the memories <3

May times this time of year, is hard on some……
Give others grace during this time, they may not always tell you what is going on inside their heads in that moment.

If you have lost someone special….focus on the times you had together, rather than focusing on the times lost….

If you are gathering w friends or family, and their may be extra tension in moments…..remember you have a choice on what to say or how to react or act…..

Choose love, choose happiness. the choice is YOURS.
No matter how *they* act or what they say.

You never know, when one day, you won’t get to have those moments with that person ever again….

Don’t let lost or wrapped up over one thing, that 25 years later, or in eternity won’t matter…..

BE blessed my friends….remember
#WeAllHaveChoices <3

So great to meet friends all over the world…..

I’m so blessed I get to meet people from all over the world with everything that I love to do traveling all over the world and people sometimes travel all over the world to come see me…..

God often uses our deepest pain

God often uses our deepest pain, as the launching pad, for our greatest calling.

You know my life has changed SO much the last almost 7 years (wow I really can’t believe it has been that long!)

Not only with one the most TRAGIC news calls a woman could ever hear…..

And not just *because* of that – but I think thru that…God has just done SO many things in my life….that just can’t be explained…..

From that loss, and 9 other major losses in my life pretty back to back….

I was already successful w my web n graphic design, branding and marketing company – but that has grown immensely the last several years.

I was already speaking 1-2 times a month at different company, and corporate events training as we as some ministry events – and that has grown a ton to where I have been speaking and traveling 1-4 times a month every single month.

I have become a best selling author of two books, one on business “Keep Those Clients” and one for ministry/personal development “We All Have Choices” and have been featured in two other books, on many different podcasts as a featured guest.

I started my Wonderful Widowed Women ministry that has been helping tons of women around the world thru this process, as well as being asked to speak at different events for widows, grief, support, and just getting thru the loss of a loved one, or moving forward in life after events like that.

My greeting card company team has grown a lot and blessing to be there the last 15+ years — teaching people in business to keep in touch w their customers and clients as well as teaching everyone to keep in touch w friends and family and send out happiness in the mail.

My CopsWives ministry has grown helping women in that field to be a better support to their husband and families and speaking at more events on that as well in local areas (even going all the way up north to Maine in Jan of all months for that!) lol

My Gratitude Girls company that Kathryn and I founded almost 7 years ago, has grown as well with many more speakers, followers, and interactions with others to be able to share and show gratitude all over the world. The training we offer as a team to others has impacted so many people and we love to hear how we have helped others through that.

There is so much more I could keep going on…..God has shown Himself strong to me, and in my weakest moments, He shows up for me, and I am just so blessed, and honored He would choose me while I *try* to walk in these shoes He designed for me, I only hope and pray I give Him the glory He deserves. <3

We may not *like* some of the *shoes* He gives us…..we might not ever have *Wanted* or *chosen* them, but none-the-less we *got them* and we have to do our best, what He would want us to do with them, and walk in the ways He leads. <3

So blessed to be featured to speak on stage in atlanta

This weekend was just incredible…..I have literally sat in I know over 50 of these seminars the last 15 1/2 years…..but I get more out of them each and every time…..SO great hearing Kody, Gayle and Callie teach us from their hearts…

Then being featured to speak on stage w Bryan and Jay in the same setting and getting to work along side all these great and incredible people…..

When you absolutely love what you do, you get to work with others w such great hearts of kindness and gratitude, you know you are changing lives for the better with what you do, AND then you get paid to do it on top of that?
