Empowering Women in the Marketplace with Elaine Lankford (#203)

EntrePastors

In this episode of the EntrePastors podcast, hosts Jon and Les are joined by Elaine Lankford, founder of She Steps Forward Coaching and She Steps Forward International. Elaine's incredible journey from a nursing career to empowering Christian female entrepreneurs is nothing short of remarkable. We'll dive into her personal story of transition, the unique challenges of moving from a caretaking role to entrepreneurship, and the mindset shift required to turn informal mentoring into a thriving business model.

Elaine shares how her work extends beyond the four walls of the church to create a significant impact in the marketplace, likening the roles of Peter and Paul in supporting kingdom purposes. Together, we'll explore her international endeavors, including her pivotal conference in Kenya and ongoing humanitarian efforts. Elaine's passion for teaching women to 'fish rather than giving them fish' fuels her efforts to elevate and support female entrepreneurs across the globe.

Join us as we discuss the church's need to embrace and support the business community and the vital role of entrepreneurship in combating poverty. Elaine also offers practical advice on launching coaching or counseling businesses, navigating financial boundaries, and empowering women to follow their God-given callings. Plus, you'll learn how you can connect with Elaine and even join her on her inspiring missions to Kenya.
