Today we’d like to introduce you to Trinette Collier Greene.
Trinette, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I began my journey as an elementary educator 30 years ago, finding fulfillment in supporting children. However, I noticed something unique: my colleagues often came to my room daily simply to talk and release their burdens. I listened attentively and naturally wanted to provide solutions. Sometimes, I could help, but often, they just needed a listening ear or a shoulder to cry on. Over time, this experience sparked a greater interest in helping adults, knowing they needed support too. And so, my journey into coaching began.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back, would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
At first, it was smooth sailing as I balanced classroom teaching with part-time coaching. But the desire to become a full-time entrepreneur and coach grew stronger! So, I decided to take early retirement and fully commit to building my coaching business. That’s when the road got rocky.
One of the familiar and real struggles of building a business is scaling down from your 9-5 income. That was a major adjustment. Also, becoming FOCUSED on your goal and vision meant temporarily cutting out normal activities, especially social ones—no shopping, social trips, vacations, eating out, etc. Those activities had to come to a halt. It’s not ‘social media pretty’; you won’t just roll out of bed and generate a six-figure income in 30 days! The reality is, you WILL face struggles on this journey, but it will be worth it if you are willing to stay committed to your vision.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
My business, TLC Coaching, specializes in bridging the communication gap in marriages of 7 years or more. Known for empowering both women and men with effective relationship strategies, we provide tailored guidance to foster understanding and harmony. What sets us apart is our commitment to personalized coaching that strengthens bonds and nurtures healthy connections. I’m proud of our success in transforming relationships and the positive impact we’ve made. Our brand focuses on offering customized coaching, resources, and support to help couples thrive.
Do you have recommendations for books, apps, blogs, etc.?
I’m currently reading the following to support my coaching: The Power of the Praying Wife by Stormie Omartian and The Forty-Day Word Fast for Couples by Tim Cameron. I listen to a variety of positive podcasts that support marriages but right now, I’m focused on those two books to support me in an upcoming project.
