Meet Shari

“ I have been blessed to be listened to, encouraged, prayed for and mentored by Shari. She has a way of creating a safe atmosphere to share your heart where she listens and is able to ask probing questions without making you feel intimidated. There is something about her that makes you feel you know her after meeting just once or twice. ”

Shari lives in Hagerstown, Maryland, with her husband Steve and their two teenage sons.

After graduating from Messiah College with a Bachelors degree in Social Work in 1988, she was employed in numerous and varied social work capacities. However, as Shari drew closer to the Lord and became aware that the real answers were found in Jesus Christ, she felt called to serve alongside her husband in pastoral ministry.

While co-pastoring a church in Maryland for ten years with her husband, Shari also coached missionaries, congregational leaders, and others who desired to use their gifts and lives for God's glory. It was during this time that she discovered her life purpose in the coaching profession. Her life purpose is also her passion: to see others discover their life purpose, bridge the gap between where they are and where they want to be, and live their lives "on purpose."

Shari is co-founder of Fully Embraced, L.L.C.; an organization that specializes in conducting workshops designed to help individuals discover who they are and to provide tools for living out a person's God-given identity.
