title: ACT IN TRUTH & LOVE: Leading with God’s confidence

Ann-Marie Harrell is a multidisciplinary professional with a BS in Marriage & Family Life & Coaching, an MS in Organizational Leadership and she is currently pursuing her PhD in Developmental Psychology. She has worked as a functional medicine health coach and now works with individuals and families using her additional training through the Gottman Institute and Amen University. Ann- Marie has focused her social science research and career on spirituality, growth, leadership and relationships.

Ann-Marie has developed a leadership model based on Truth & Love that provides transformative insights to these questions…How do I distinguish between God confidence and self-confidence? Am acting in my personal strengths and values? Do I find myself reacting more to what is happening around me than what is inside me? Do I personally look to God with an eye single to His glory in shaping my identity?

Ann-Marie loves integrative nutrition, hiking with friends, playing at the beach with family, pilates, a good dance party and reading books that challenge her assumptions. She and her husband have raised four awesome men, and now they have been adding girls to the mix with three new daughter-in-laws and one grand daughter. Yay for more girls!
