Jeorge G. Holmes
Coach - Leader - Teacher - Pastor - Entrepreneur - Vocalist“You will miss 100% of the shots you don’t take”
I have had coaches all my life. The youngest recollection was a drowning experience that left me paralyzed with fear to get near water again. My oldest brother didn’t allow fear to rule in my life. Through his coaching, encouragement, pulling, helping, teaching and just never giving up attitude, I was swimming like a shark under the water picking pennies, nickels, dimes and even quarters on the bottom of the deep end of the pool. I was rich at the end of the summer (ha). Thanks Jimbo! Coaches make all the difference in the world.
My Short Story
My story is filled with love in the midst of a fractured and dysfunctional world, which includes me. I’ve had the privilege to have a loving family, incredible wife and kids who have blessed my life deeply. There are also close friends, coaches and mentors who genuinely care and applaud any successes along with deep support whenever tragedy strikes. Each one’s life has so many ups and downs. Change and transition are very difficult and I’ve had my fair share (ie. depression, anxiety, failures, losses, struggles and success). I always hoped to bring my best to a clients life while seeking to listen, be graceful and desire to make a difference in their lives, for their benefit. Being the youngest of six, my siblings paved the way for my own desire to success through trial and error. Their “never giving up” attitude helped me to value the expression, ‘You will miss 100% of the shots you don’t take’. I’m inspired by those that ‘dare greatly’ on the field of life rather than those who are just spectators who critique the players on the field. I choose to be a player in the game, willing to fail, fall and then get back up to stay in the game of life. With God’s power and presence in my life, I trust that He will continue to empower, strengthen, protect and provide for me as I allow Him to open doors of next level opportunities.
My values & beliefs
Love God passionately
Jeorge is passionate about his faith and understands each person is on a spiritual journey. He was raised with timeless principles and is a Christ-follower that respects all people seeking to point people upward to believe in something greater than themselves.
Love People radically
His desire to love people comes from his family and faith. He enjoys hearing people’s unique stories and always desires to help each person feel safe, loved, valued, and significant.
Live to serve
Jesus said, “I have come to serve, not be served”. What an amazing statement in our “serve me” culture. Servant leadership starts with an attitude and inner purpose to serve others. Jeorge believes this to his core and is willing to serve as a leader.
