About the Coaches and Authors

Donna and Sherri, both native to Hendersonville, North Carolina, have combined their education, experience and passion to form Walk of Purpose Ministry. Their friendship began as mere acquaintances in the same small group. God led Sherri to ask Donna to be a spiritual accountability partner. Over the years they have encouraged, supported and inspired each other to live out God’s plan for their lives. Donna and Sherri used the same tools they share in DIVAS of the Divine to guide their own walks of purpose and these tools became the inspiration for developing the Walk of Purpose Ministry as well as the dynamic 8-week Life Coaching Curriculum that became DIVAS of the Divine. Donna and Sherri are both certified Life Coaches and Speakers through American Association of Christian Counselors and CLASSeminars.

Donna McCrary

From high top basketball shoes to high heels, each step of Donna’s life has equipped her for a Life Coaching career. She is a challenging facilitator whose “tell it like it is” approach always incorporates a “call to action” from her participants.

Donna draws from her background as a Recreational Therapist to create dynamic outcome-oriented keynotes, retreats, and curriculums. Her greatest passion and deepest joy is to “coach” women in realizing God’s plan for their life and in discovering for themselves the source of genuine joy.

Donna is a wife, mother of two, and beloved friend. Donna’s hobbies include hiking, vacationing at the beach, and trying projects from popular HGTV home improvement shows... much to her husband’s dismay!
