Other Enay Coaching team members include Chioma Davis, Charlie Davis, Sloane Grey, Damian Grey, and John Shelton.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are far better described as a family than co-workers,\u201d Dixon says. \u201cOf 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dixon, a 1996 graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy, says, &#8220;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.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Not a quick fix, Dixon says business training is a process that takes time. \u201cWe help companies create frameworks within their organization that specifically fit their needs. It&#8217;s not a microwave approach to get employees from point A to B; it has to be deliberate and built into the company&#8217;s culture.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On the educational side, Enay Coaching provides a broad range of academic coaching and individualized tutoring services.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our academic coaching support goes beyond tutoring, which is when a student needs help with a specific area or skill,&#8221; Dixon says. &#8220;Academic coaching is the &#8216;whole picture&#8217; approach where we are working with the student and parents to get career-focused.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Enay Coaching\u2019s certified, expert tutors work in all subject areas and grade levels. They also provide SAT, ACT, and Accuplacer preparation to assess college readiness.<\/p>\n<p>Through classroom instruction, Enay Coaching provides character and leadership development programs.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The classroom training prepares students to become better workers,&#8221; says Dixon, who serves on the Valdosta-Lowndes County Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors and the South Georgia Workforce Development Board. &#8220;It allows them to start identifying their skills, and then through getting involved with clubs and organizations and through community and church activities they can expand their levels of interests and build more skills.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dixon often tells students, &#8220;Take on the jobs nobody wants, and then there will always be plenty of work. When you can excel at things you don&#8217;t necessarily like, you will become even more excellent with your skills and gifts.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Part of Enay Coaching&#8217;s curriculum has been embedded within course standards for Georgia\u2019s CTAE [Career, Technical, and Agricultural Education] Business Management and Administration-Finance Career Clusters.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We were one of several companies selected to help write CTAE standards for Georgia&#8217;s middle schools,&#8221; Dixon says. &#8220;We promoted the importance of mentorship, networking, and extracurricular activity as ways to experience the business world in the classroom.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In 2015, the Enay team started working with middle and high school students at Valdosta Early College Academy (VECA), a school within the Valdosta City School System that works in partnership with Valdosta State University.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Dr. Brian Gerber, Dr. Mae McKinney, and Dr. Johnnie Marshall were gracious to invite us to work with students and share our leadership curriculum,&#8221; Dixon says, adding that this group eventually became VECA United, a multi-week leadership program for students nominated by teachers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We talk about what it means to be a leader, and to be introspective, and examine ourselves first before going out to be an example to others,&#8221; Dixon says. &#8220;We have challenging conversations about tough issues and vulnerable moments that make them stronger while building leadership skills.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As part of Enay Coaching&#8217;s proprietary Legacy-minded Servant-leadership\u2122 curriculum, VECA United students learn about the importance of being a team player and developing communication, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The series of lessons and challenges explore what it means to be a servant-leader,&#8221; Dixon says. &#8220;At the end, there is a capstone<\/p>\n<p>activity, where we use a mobile rock-climbing wall to reinforce the leadership skills.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong>Ascend Together<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3462\" style=\"width: 224px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3462\" data-attachment-id=\"3462\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/sgamag.com\/index.php\/2021\/06\/04\/enay-coaching-leading-from-a-place-of-service\/abreauna-hadley_3\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Abreauna-Hadley_3-scaled.jpg?fit=2136%2C2560&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2136,2560\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;10&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS REBEL T5&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1605672738&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;24&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.00625&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Abreauna Hadley_3\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Abreauna-Hadley_3-scaled.jpg?fit=250%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Abreauna-Hadley_3-scaled.jpg?fit=854%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-3462\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Abreauna-Hadley_3.jpg?resize=214%2C257&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"214\" height=\"257\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Abreauna-Hadley_3-scaled.jpg?resize=854%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 854w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Abreauna-Hadley_3-scaled.jpg?resize=250%2C300&amp;ssl=1 250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Abreauna-Hadley_3-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C920&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Abreauna-Hadley_3-scaled.jpg?resize=1282%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1282w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Abreauna-Hadley_3-scaled.jpg?resize=1709%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1709w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 214px) 100vw, 214px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3462\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Abreauna Hadley<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<p>After more than ten years of research and development of thought-provoking curriculum, Enay Coaching produced &#8220;Ascend Together,&#8221; a leadership guidebook for middle and high school students. The book, released in 2020, seeks to inspire teenagers to take on the challenges of the 21st century with integrity, courage, and compassion.<\/p>\n<p>Based on the theme of a mountain climbing expedition, the book covers six modules and related activities that reinforce each principle. Along the way, participants earn badges and, upon completion, a certificate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSchools and\/or school sponsors have purchased book sets to use with students in different\u00a0settings, from school leadership clubs, to in-school suspension groups, to foster care group homes, and it has been a very effective resource for them.,\u201d says Dixon.<\/p>\n<p>The book started as a way for Enay Coaching to share its servant-leadership curriculum.<\/p>\n<p>Dixon says he then asked some of the VECA United students to tell their personal stories. &#8220;We walked through the idea of them writing about the challenges they faced and lessons learned as they develop a servant-leader mindset.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Abreauna Hadley, who graduated from VECA in 2020, shared how she developed a deeper understanding of teamwork through the Ascend curriculum.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I thought about the life lessons I could share and immediately thought about soccer, which was a big part of my high school life,&#8221; Hadley says. &#8220;As a younger member of the soccer team, I watched as older girls \u2018hogged the ball,\u2019 trying to gain attention and applause for themselves.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She writes in the book, &#8220;\u2026I decided that the &#8216;ball hog&#8217; strategy looked pretty good; I wanted to learn to keep the ball and dazzle the crowd with my skills, score the winning goal, and be the hero!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t think of it then, but the plan that I learned by watching the older<\/p>\n<p>girls did not have the success of the team in mind\u2014it was full of pride and selfishness.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hadley, now a student at Valdosta State University, says, &#8220;I never thought of myself as a leader. I&#8217;m shy, but as I got more involved in volunteer activities, I found that you can lead through service.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While &#8220;Ascend Together&#8221; is recommended for teenagers, the principles are applicable for the current workforce and speak directly to developing employability skills often referred to as &#8220;soft skills&#8221; like effective communication, teamwork, reliability, initiative, problem-solving, and critical thinking.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"3464\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/sgamag.com\/index.php\/2021\/06\/04\/enay-coaching-leading-from-a-place-of-service\/ascend-together-book-mock-up_update-copy\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Ascend-Together-Book-Mock-up_UPDATE-copy.png?fit=1770%2C2521&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1770,2521\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Ascend Together Book Mock-up_UPDATE copy\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Ascend-Together-Book-Mock-up_UPDATE-copy.png?fit=211%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Ascend-Together-Book-Mock-up_UPDATE-copy.png?fit=719%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-3464 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Ascend-Together-Book-Mock-up_UPDATE-copy.png?resize=121%2C172&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"121\" height=\"172\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Ascend-Together-Book-Mock-up_UPDATE-copy.png?resize=719%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 719w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Ascend-Together-Book-Mock-up_UPDATE-copy.png?resize=211%2C300&amp;ssl=1 211w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Ascend-Together-Book-Mock-up_UPDATE-copy.png?resize=768%2C1094&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Ascend-Together-Book-Mock-up_UPDATE-copy.png?resize=1078%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1078w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Ascend-Together-Book-Mock-up_UPDATE-copy.png?resize=1438%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1438w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Ascend-Together-Book-Mock-up_UPDATE-copy.png?w=1770&amp;ssl=1 1770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 121px) 100vw, 121px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Proceeds from the sale of &#8220;Ascend Together&#8221; supports Enay Coaching&#8217;s work with youth in Georgia&#8217;s foster care system.
