Transitional DynamicsDealing with individual and collective behaviors, environmental influences, personal actions and attitudes that shape our clients’ experiences as they navigate the rigorous road of recovery.
Second Starts"Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up" - Thomas Edison Directing, coaching, encouraging and mentoring others who have lost their way is a cornerstone of GBU. Because of his personal experience, Billy Taylor is committed to building new services and working with existing programs that bolster the opportunities for and success of people who are striving for second starts.
Life CoachingGBU consistently uses two "headline" phrases that relate to the Life Coaching Process: "Plan your Life's Work, and Work your Life's Plan" and "When Plan A Fails, Implement Plan B". As a follow up to the headline, we often tell our clients: "If you don't know where you are going, you will probably not get there!" As a challenge to them, we use an Oprah Winfrey question: "What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?" Ideally, GBU's Life Coaching Program is planned to be an intensive one-on-one or small group interaction with those who need "focusing assistance."

Academic SuccessEducation remains one of the best investments of a lifetime. It not only teaches young people how to make a living but also how to make their way through life. "My academic success at Michigan has taken me further than my athletic achievements," said Dr. Taylor. "It provided me with skills, knowledge and self esteem that no one can ever take away." GBU is committed to getting that message out to all audiences which have included high school and college students, student athletes, and adults of all ages who have postponed or never pursued educational advancement.
MotivationHaving a positive vision of the future is a powerful motivator for change. Those who focus on the problems, an impasse or the hurdles that stand in the way, hamper their ability to move forward. As he motivates and inspires others, Dr. Taylor's emphasis is on character, core values, individual choice, courage and the " five P's": Preparation, Persistence, Patience, Perseverance and the Power of Transformation.
Inspired to "Get Back Up " turning life's set backs into come backs, Dr. Taylor exemplifies the importance of resiliency, inner strength and the belief that it is possible to overcome adversity, reach your highest potential and reestablish a meaningful life. |
