Words From Dr. Shauntel Peak-Jimenez:
"I went from Nurse to CEO. I completed my nursing program in 1996. I worked as a corporate on-site nurse for many years until my job came to an unexpected end in 2009 due to corporate downsizing. In 2008, recognizing the value of holistic health support in the workplace, I completed wellness coach training and certification, integrating wellness coaching into my role to enhance employee well-being.
My commitment to professional development didn't stop there, I committed further to professional growth by expanding my coaching skills. In 2009, I successfully completed a life coach training and certification program, broadening my expertise to empower individuals in achieving their personal and professional goals.
In 2009 I was also blessed to launch a successful coach training and certification company. My coach training and certification company has been going strong, since 2009. In 2009, I completed the ICF (International Coach Federation) accredited coach training program I was enrolled in, became a coach trainer, launched my company and never looked back!
When I lost my job, not only was I blindsided financially, because I lost my job and all my income, but I felt "let down" because I gave so many years of my life to a company who didn't give back to me, even after all the long hours, dedication, sacrifices, and more. More than anything, I realized that I was not using my divine gifts and talents, to the fullest. I lost my job, but I found my purpose. Through it all God had a plan for my life, a plan I didn't understand at the time, but a plan that I am beyond grateful for now.
I understand the "nursing" pain and struggles. I was inspired to create Nurses About Business, LLC to help financially empower other female nurses, to help you fulfill your divine purpose, to help you unleash untapped gifts, to help you create the life you desire and deserve, and to help you make a bigger impact in the world.
I want to be a ray of sunshine in the lives of others, by allowing God’s light to shine through me."
