What's In It For Me?
When it comes to life coaching, the answer to this question is deeply personal and powerful.
Clarity. Focus. Goal-Setting. Decision-Making. Self-Awareness. Confidence. Accountability. Personal Growth. Professional Growth. Breaking Free. Support. Courage to Take a Step. Stress Reduction. Reboot. Determination. Answers. Peace.
Coaching is what you make of it.
Coaching is what you choose it to be.
It’s a space to dive in, uncover your truths, and discover just how much more you are capable of than you might currently imagine.
As part of our partnership, you will be invited to take the DISC Assessment, which provides valuable insight and an opportunity to self-reflect, deepening your understanding of how you relate to and communicate with others, whether at home, at work, or in the world around you.
Coaching sessions are one hour in length (or longer, if you prefer) and can be held via Zoom or in person at a quiet, mutually convenient location. With Zoom, there are no barriers of time zones or geography.
You guide the journey. You choose the topic and set the pace.
What Sets My Coaching Apart
At Inner Strength Life Coaching, my approach goes beyond conversation. I provide practical, personalized tools that support lasting growth. Whether you're a seasoned leader or an emerging professional, or you're an individual interested in personal growth, I offer curated resources designed to meet your unique needs. From a Succession Planning Workbook that helps leaders prepare for the future, to an Employee Check-In packet that strengthens team communication, to a DISC Participant Journal that deepens self-awareness, my clients have access to meaningful tools that complement our work together. You'll also find resources like my Generations in the Workplace guide, crafted to foster collaboration across age groups. These materials are more than handouts. They're part of a thoughtful, customized experience that supports your goals every step of the way, both professionally and personally.

About Me
My Professional Journey:
Empowering Growth Through Experience
With over 35 years of experience in human resources and leadership (25 years in the public sector), I’ve had the privilege of working across public, private, and nonprofit sectors. My career has been defined by a deep commitment to helping individuals and organizations thrive. I have partnered with individuals and groups in all HR competencies, developed strong, cohesive teams, guided leaders through transitions, healed relationships through improved communications, managed workplace investigations with a focus on resolution and recovery, and created impactful learning experiences. Throughout my journey, I’ve built trust with employees at all levels and within unions, designed training programs that inspire and ignite transformation, successfully negotiated collective bargaining agreements, and redesigned systems to improve outcomes.
This is not to say that my career trajectory has been roses and sunshine every step of the way. I have encountered setbacks and disappointments, just like everyone else, but in the words of Nelson Mandela, "I either win or I learn."
Failure is part of the journey, and it's what we do in those experiences that matters. I chose to rise...every time, and so can you.
My career in human resources began as a teenager during an internship at my hometown bank, where I was introduced to the fundamentals of the profession. Eager to learn and grow, I quickly advanced and, after relocating, secured a position in the HR department of one of Florida’s largest banks at the time. Seeking broader experience and deeper impact, I transitioned to the public sector by joining the HR team of a large county government. There, I served as a Human Resources Analyst, providing strategic support, coaching, and guidance to departments across the organization. I was later promoted to Senior Human Resources Analyst and then to Human Resources Manager for the Fire Rescue Department, an opportunity that allowed me to fully engage in the dynamic and vital world of public safety. After a decade of service, I accepted a leadership role with a municipality, overseeing HR for a full-service city with approximately 300 employees. As Director of Human Resources, I’ve relished the opportunity to broaden my reach, navigate the complexities of a union environment with both Fire and Police Departments, and continue doing the work I love - elevating people, strengthening organizations, bridging gaps, and shaping the future of public service.
I’ve spent my career supporting and coaching employees in both small and large organizations, including offering strategic guidance for those at the helm. My experience has shown me that the right guidance at the right time can be transformative, which is why I’m passionate about coaching clients to unlock their full potential.
Whether you’re navigating career transitions, dealing with challenges in the workplace, looking to enhance your leadership skills, navigating challenges in your personal life and at home, learning more about yourself and what makes you "you," or seeking a new perspective on the hurdles in your way, I’m here to help you move forward with purpose, confidence, and a clear path toward your goals.
My Personal Journey:
From Darkness to Strength
Like many of us, I’ve been blessed in countless ways that I could never fully express in a few words. But I’ve also faced my share of immense challenges. I lost my parents in my early 20s, navigated the ups and downs of marriage and divorce, and spent many difficult years as a single parent. The most devastating loss of all was losing one of my sons to violence. He was only 22 years old.
Along the seemingly endless road of despair and loss, I encountered setbacks, personal and professional embarrassments, financial fears and near homelessness. Failure after failure, and a series of "and then" experiences that left me feeling like I was caught in a rip current. It seemed as though life wasn't going to give me a pass...and then I received a cancer diagnosis, which was followed by surgery and treatment...and then I had another surgery that my body was keen to reject, which resulted in prescription medication dependency and deep depression.
I couldn't catch a break, and I gave up. I wanted out. I found myself submerged in the darkness of suicidal ideation, feeling as though I would never find my way through.
But I did.
I made a choice to stay.
Through a lot of hard work and commitment to the process, I emerged stronger, with newfound resilience, clarity, determination, self-love, and an unwavering belief in the power of choice. Today, I am living the life I once thought was impossible - a life full of joy, purpose, and fulfillment that I now know I truly deserve.
And so do you.
My name is Roz Strong, and I would be honored to partner with you as your life coach or professional/career coach on your own journey to strength, clarity, and fulfillment.

What Coaching Is...and Isn't
What Coaching Is...and Isn't
What Coaching Is...and Isn't
Coaching is a forward-focused partnership designed to unlock a person's potential and support meaningful growth. It’s a thought-provoking, creative process where the Coach and Client work side by side to set clear goals, identify obstacles, and create actionable strategies for success.
At its core, coaching empowers the Client to take the lead, building confidence, enhancing self-awareness, and moving purposefully toward personal or professional transformation. The Coach brings structure, accountability, and an unwavering belief in the Client’s ability to thrive.
Each session is a step forward - tailored, adaptive, and grounded in trust.
What Coaching Isn’t: Coaching is not counseling, therapy, or mentoring. It is a future-focused, present-centered process. While there may occasionally be a glance into the past for context, the emphasis is on moving forward.
Confidentiality: The Coach maintains strict confidentiality, ensuring the Client feels safe to share personal and sensitive information.
