Mission Statement
To serve and glorify God in whatever avenue He places in my life through speaking, singing, teaching, coaching and writing. To love, support, motivate and encourage women in all walks of life.
Coaching
Coaching is the second-fastest growing profession in the world, rivaled only by information technology” says the National Post. This is because people need a coach to assist them in achieving their most important life goals.
A Life Coach provides hope, direction and encouragement along the avenues of goal achievement, personal and professional success, divorce transition, career changes, life balance and wellness, accountability, life focus, spiritual guidance and self-esteem.
Lane Jordan, a Certified Professional Life Coach, is trained to coach women through life’s transitions.
Testimonials
Dr. Charles F. Stanley, Pastor
First Baptist Church of AtlantaThe concepts from Lane’s book have impacted many young women I know (including my Kim). Her books are for women of all ages, and we older gals are particularly partial toward anyone who leads our children and grandchildren on the path of righteousness. Thanks, Lane, for being a mentor to many through these books.
Mrs. Larry (Rachel) Crabb
Speaker and AuthorLane Jordan is a lady who truly walks her talk, and her transparent heart is evident in this book. She provides consistent, practical information in each chapter. Her material is a balance of Lane’s personal journey as a single mom, testimonies from other moms, and research-based material with invaluable websites. As an author, speaker for moms and women’s groups around the country, and educator for 35 years, I find this book to be an excellent resource for moms of all ages.
Jody Capehart, Former Head of School at Legacy Christian Academy, Frisco, TX
Author of Teaching With Heart an ECPA Christian Book Award finalistI am delighted to recommend Lane’s book for moms. ‘Velcro Moms’ find themselves pulled in every direction, but Lane offers tips and suggestions for helping moms stay on track in their day-to-day challenges.
Dr. Kevin Leman
author of Making Children Mind Without Losing YoursI have been wanting to sit down and write you a letter for a while. I want to thank you for writing your book – it has been such a big help to me. I have purchased many books to help me get organized. I then came across your book. It has brought so much freedom to me. God has used your book to help me change. I realized the other day that it’s been 6 months since I read your book. I have evaluated my life and I’ve changed so much in 6 months. Before reading your book, I thought I had to be Super Woman, which left me feeling helpless and miserable. Then I read the part where you encouraged to hire help. I found a wonderful lady to help me once a week. My home has those days where it’s chaos, but it’s not every day, like it was. With 4 children under 9 and a husband, I think a couple of days of chaos once in a while is not too bad. I’m happy now. I praise the Lord for your book.
S.B.
It is so amazing how this topic draws at the heart of women. One of the things of which I am convinced, is that God wants to use women to minister to others, and do mighty things for His Kingdom, but often our disorganization and resulting stress, keeps us from being fully used. One woman purchased your book for my small group Bible study and attended one meeting (that I lead in my home). She said it so drastically changed her life that she feels like she has her “home” back and could reach out to a single mother in need of childcare. That is so awesome to see how God is using you.

I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciated your book on becoming an organized woman. It made me take an entirely different, more positive look on cleaning and taking care of a household. So, thanks and God bless!
B. Spokane, WA
Hi Lane, just wanted to write a short note to let you know how much I enjoyed your speaking last night and how you touched my heart. I listened to your CD this morning on my way to work. It is so touching – I was just raising my hands to worship the Lord!…
