What is THE WHOLE WOMAN™?

THE WHOLE WOMAN™ is Dr. Sha-Lai Williams's framework for change across four areas of a woman's life: eternal, emotional, entrepreneurial and external.

What are the four dimensions of THE WHOLE WOMAN™?

Eternal (purpose, faith, values and meaning), emotional (healing, mindset, confidence and relationships), entrepreneurial (career, business, leadership and money) and external (image, style, presence and environment).

How is THE WHOLE WOMAN™ used in coaching?

Every MAKE THE SHIFT™ client starts with an assessment across all four areas, so the plan accounts for the whole of her life instead of one goal in isolation.

Eternal

Purpose, faith, values and meaning. Who God created you to be.

Emotional

Healing, mindset, confidence, relationships and emotional well-being.
