Meet Your Coach

MEET SHARON STENGER

Sharon Stenger, FreshStart Christian Life Coach and founder of FreshStart Resources, is a visionary leader with a caring, pastor’s heart

Both on the phone and in person, Sharon has an amazing ability to open up a safe place for people to share their joys and struggles, their hopes and fears. And she quickly gets to the heart of the matter with a sharp wisdom that cuts through the fog of indecision. She’s not afraid to ask hard questions or speak the truth in love. She sparkles as a small group leader, and is a gifted process facilitator.

But what sets her apart as a personal coach is the way she brings out the best in others. Guided by biblical principles, she challenges and inspires her clients to recognize and reach their full, God-given potential, and then comes alongside as cheerleader, companion and guide through seasons of growth and change.

Sharon’s own Fresh Start as a personal coach came after serving on the pastoral staff of a local church for seven years. She previously served as a director of women’s ministry; interim CEO of the Visalia Chamber of Commerce; adjunct professor at Fresno Pacific University; project director for Covenant Vision-to-Action for The Evangelical Covenant Church; and Leadership Development Coordinator for the denomination’s Pacific Southwest Conference.

She is ordained for specialized ministry with The Evangelical Covenant Church; is a Certified Leadership and Talent Management Coach with the Leadership Coach Academy; a Licensed Consultant with Natural Church Development; a member of the Christian Coaches Network; an adjunct professor at William Jessup University in Rocklin, and an authorized distributor with Inscape Publishing.

On a personal note, Sharon and her husband Doug celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary in June 2006. Two months later they moved to Rocklin, California to live near their daughters and their families.

In addition to delighting in their grandchildren, Sharon and Doug love walking, riding their bikes, easily getting up to the mountains for a day, and spending time with friends. They are members of Rocklin Community Covenant Church.
