Enay Coaching started its mission to prepare emerging leaders through a Bible study with students from Valdosta State University.
"We started talking about Biblical principles of leadership," says Elton Dixon, co-founder of Enay Coaching. "Our discussions centered on how through serving others, we grow and challenge ourselves."
Servant-leadership is at the foundation of Enay Coaching, which Dixon and his wife, Adrienne, started in 2014, to provide education and workforce development services to businesses, organizations, school districts and families. Other Enay Coaching team members include Chioma Davis, Charlie Davis, Sloane Grey, Damian Grey, and John Shelton.
“We are far better described as a family than co-workers,” Dixon says. “Of all the things I experience as a leader, hearing and reading the incredible testimonials that come from parents, students, and other community members who have interacted with my teammates is one of the greatest thrills I could ask for.”
Dixon, a 1996 graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy, says, "We have an established training for businesses and then customize it based on their specific needs. Communication and leadership development are two main areas businesses seek training."
Not a quick fix, Dixon says business training is a process that takes time. “We help companies create frameworks within their organization that specifically fit their needs. It's not a microwave approach to get employees from point A to B; it has to be deliberate and built into the company's culture."
On the educational side, Enay Coaching provides a broad range of academic coaching and individualized tutoring services.
"Our academic coaching support goes beyond tutoring, which is when a student needs help with a specific area or skill," Dixon says. "Academic coaching is the 'whole picture' approach where we are working with the student and parents to get career-focused."
