Send Us a MessageIn this powerful and heartfelt episode of Coffee and Conversations, host Donald E. Coleman welcomes fellow U.S. Marine Corps veteran, Veronica “Coach Ronnie” Soria, the first Marine ever featured on the podcast. Coach Ronnie brings a lifetime of service, resilience, and compassion to the coaching profession, offering listeners a deeply human perspective on leadership, identity, and personal transformation.After serving 20 years in the United States Marine Corps and another two decades in the Federal Government as a Learning & Development consultant, program manager, and leadership coach, Ronnie’s life has been defined by one consistent calling: developing people with purpose, empathy, and strength. In this conversation, she shares the defining moments that shaped her journey—from joining the U.S. Marines and navigating the transition into civilian life to rediscovering identity, faith, and purpose through coaching. Ronnie speaks candidly about how the power of coaching transformed her personal life, strengthened relationships, and taught her the discipline of listening to others and to herself.Together, we explore themes of resilience, authenticity, and what it means to live and lead from a place of wholeness. Ronnie’s definition is simple yet profound: wholeness is the acceptance of self while remaining grounded in authenticity. Her approach to coaching centers on creating safe spaces where people can reflect, reconnect with who they are, and align their values with how they live and lead.This episode is especially meaningful for leaders, veterans, professionals in transition, and anyone seeking clarity, healing, and purpose in their next chapter.Download this episode now and experience a conversation on leadership, personal growth, resilience, and the transformative power of coaching.
