MISSY WASHAM
I was born with a passion for people and God-given giftedness to encourage, inspire, and motivate others to be their best self.
As a teacher turned entrepreneur, I have learned many life lessons that I love to share. Through speaking, coaching, training, and writing I aspire to help people connect the dots between their passion and purpose to reach their full potential and live out their God-given calling.
Here’s a little more about me…
Missy Washam was born with a passion for people and a giftedness to encourage, inspire, and motivate others to be their best self. Missy received her Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education from The University of Southern Mississippi and, for 15 years, she poured into children in her classroom. During her tenure as an educator, Missy received the prestigious Educator of Distinction award for the State of Louisiana. This educator turned entrepreneur now owns a physical fitness franchise for children, “Teams of Tomorrow.” Missy served the national corporation of the franchise as National Director where she was charged with recruitment and training. Missy is certified and licensed as a Speaker, Trainer, and Coach with The John Maxwell Team.
She also serves John C. Maxwell as a Senior Program Advisor for his team of global leaders. Empowering women is very close to Missy’s heart; through retreats, keynotes, masterminds, coaching sessions, and training events, Missy aspires to help individuals connect the dots between their passion and purpose to reach their full potential. Missy is Co-founder and Executive Director for Soul Sisters Ministry which encourages women of faith from all over the world.
Her work with this ministry inspired Missy to write a devotional book for women, “Because He Said So,” which will be released in the fall of 2020, along with her children’s book, “I Did That on Purpose.” She has recently accepted an invitation to serve on the International Support Committee as a United States representative for the International Foundation of Women’s Empowerment. Missy resides in Clinton, Mississippi with her husband, Chris, and she is so proud of her two adult sons, Morgan and Michael.
Missy is so excited to have another female join her family, her new daughter-in-law, Ashlynne, who is an empowered young woman. Missy believes that amazing things happen when we help each other and that, together, we can change the world!
