Sharron Taylor

What Do You Attribute to Your Success?

Sharron was asked what she attributes her success to, what her proudest moments and achievements are, to share more about her journey, how she balances career, business, and family, and what she looks forward to in the future.

Sharron attributes her success first and foremost to her faith. Her journey has required her to move through seasons of uncertainty, transition, and growth while remaining grounded in purpose. Faith has been the foundation that has helped her continue forward, even when the next step was not always clear.

When reflecting on her proudest moments, Sharron shared that her greatest accomplishments are not defined by awards, titles, or recognition. While she is proud of becoming an author, establishing her businesses, and continuing to grow professionally, her proudest moments are when her children call on the Lord. For Sharron, that represents legacy, foundation, and the kind of success that reaches beyond professional achievement.

Her journey also reflects resilience and adaptability. As a retired U.S. Army Intelligence Officer and recent veteran transitioning into civilian life, Sharron has had to redefine what leadership, purpose, and impact look like in a new season. Through that transition, she founded Faith Forward Coaching LLC and continued building her work as an author and entrepreneur.

Balancing career, business, and family has required intentionality. Sharron continues to manage her professional goals while remaining an active and present parent. She has learned to structure her work around her family commitments, including coaching during lunch breaks, late evenings, and weekends when necessary. This balance is not always easy, but it reflects her commitment to both her purpose and her children.

In addition to coaching, Sharron is the author of the faith-based memoir I Am Me, which shares her life from birth through age 27. Her writing reflects themes of faith, identity, resilience, and personal growth. As her coaching and publishing platforms continue to grow, she looks forward to expanding her reach through coaching, speaking, article contributions, podcast opportunities, and future webinars.

Ultimately, Sharron’s success is rooted in faith, discipline, perseverance, and purpose. She continues to move forward with a desire to help others grow, lead, and live with intention.

When asked about the best career advice she has received, Sharron shared that she has not relied heavily on formal guidance, but rather on simple, consistent principles reinforced by her military mentors. They encouraged her to persevere, remain authentic, and trust that her sacrifices and hard work would pay off. She reflects that this advice has proven true, as she is already seeing the results of her dedication and commitment.

When asked about the people who have inspired her throughout her life, Sharron emphasized that her faith and her relationship with Jesus Christ have been her greatest source of guidance. She shared that her journey has required her to rely on inner strength, self-motivation, and perseverance through challenging seasons, ultimately allowing her to find her own path.

Sharron takes great pride in being able to say that she is fulfilled in her career while also providing a strong, stable foundation for her family.

When asked what advice she would give to young women entering her industry, Sharron centered her response on identity, discipline, purpose, and accountability—principles that have shaped both her personal journey and professional growth.

She encourages young women to first develop a strong sense of who they are, rather than allowing external influences to define them. She reflects on her own experience, sharing that she did not fully understand her identity until around the age of 27, and even then, she was still in the process of discovering herself. That realization, while challenging, became a necessary part of her growth.

Sharron also emphasizes the importance of discipline, noting that growth and success are built through consistent action, not just motivation. She acknowledges that discipline is often the most difficult part of the process and that her journey required significant sacrifice to reach her current position.

In addition, she encourages young women to rethink how they approach purpose. Rather than waiting to find it, she believes purpose is something that is actively lived out through daily choices, character, and leadership.

Ultimately, Sharron’s advice is rooted in equipping women with clarity, confidence, and accountability—empowering them to make intentional decisions and lead their lives with direction and conviction.

One of the biggest challenges Sharron is currently navigating is balancing full-time employment while building and growing her coaching business, Faith Forward Coaching LLC. Managing time effectively between professional responsibilities and entrepreneurship requires intentional structure, discipline, and sacrifice. In addition to time, she acknowledges the internal challenge of stepping fully into entrepreneurship. The decision to transition from stability into full-time coaching comes with uncertainty, and at times, fear.

However, she recognizes this season as part of her growth. While she has not yet made the leap to focus on her business full-time, her faith continues to guide her timing and decisions. She believes that as she continues to build her clientele and strengthen her foundation, the opportunity to transition fully into her calling will present itself at the right time. For Sharron, this challenge is not a limitation—it is preparation.

This perspective was shaped through her own transition from military service into civilian life. As a retired U.S. Army Intelligence Officer, Sharron found herself navigating the same question many veterans face: what’s next? After experiencing rejection and moments of uncertainty, she turned to her faith for clarity and realized that she had already been given her purpose. Rather than continuing to chase external opportunities, she made the decision to walk fully in her calling.

Within a nine-month period, Sharron launched Faith Forward Coaching LLC and the holding company for Sharron B. Publishing, self-published two books, and completed an ICF-accredited coaching program. She is now preparing to apply for her Associate Certified Coach (ACC) credential as she completes her required coaching hours. Her journey reflects both faith and action—building not only a business, but a foundation rooted in purpose, structure, and service to others.

What continues to inspire and motivate Sharron is the understanding that her perseverance is not just for her. She recognizes that her journey is being watched—by her family, her community, and even those she may never meet—and that her willingness to keep going can serve as encouragement for others who feel uncertain or discouraged. She remains committed to showing that through faith, discipline, and perseverance, growth is always possible.

At her core, Sharron values faith, mentorship, and meaningful connection. She hopes to continue building relationships with other women who are committed to growth, collaboration, and impact. Her message is simple: no one is behind, no one is incapable, and no one is alone. Purpose does not require perfection—it requires obedience, discipline, and the willingness to grow.

When asked what values are most important to her in both her work and personal life, Sharron emphasized that her foundation begins with faith. Everything she does is centered on her relationship with Jesus Christ, which guides her decisions, shapes her perspective, and anchors her through every season.

Second is discipline, followed closely by accountability. She believes accountability is one of the most challenging, yet most necessary, values because it requires ownership, consistency, and honesty with oneself. These principles are not only essential for personal growth, but also for building a life and career with intention.

Sharron also places a strong emphasis on emotional intelligence. For her, it goes beyond managing emotions—it is about understanding how she shows up, communicates, and interacts with others in a way that builds trust, respect, and meaningful connection.

These values are not only reflected in her professional life, but are intentionally lived out in her personal life as well. As a mother of four, Sharron is deeply committed to raising capable, well-rounded individuals by instilling the same principles she teaches. Her children are actively pursuing their own interests and goals—whether through academics, athletics, or entrepreneurship—which requires her to be consistently present, engaged, and supportive.

Her days are often filled with practices, games, and events, while still managing her professional responsibilities and continuing to build her business. Rather than separating her values from her lifestyle, she integrates them—demonstrating discipline through how she manages her time, accountability through how she shows up for her family, and emotional intelligence through how she leads and supports her children.

In the midst of these responsibilities, Sharron also makes time for personal growth and creativity. She enjoys reading, learning, serving her community, and expressing herself through creative outlets such as painting, design, and music. For her, these moments are not separate from her purpose—they are a part of maintaining balance and continuing to grow.

At every level of her life, Sharron’s values remain consistent. Whether in her work, her parenting, or her personal development, she is committed to living with faith, discipline, and intention—creating a foundation not only for her own success, but for those she is called to lead and serve.
