April’s Featured Mission
Each month, we choose a different non-profit or local charity to support with a portion of the funds we receive for health and wellness training. Our featured charity for April is WOW: Women of Wisdom. Their mission is to create an atmosphere of love and connectivity in our community that will help empower and encourage women from all religious denominations and backgrounds. They are committed to making a difference in our families, communities, marketplace, and our State through prayer.
They do this in a number of ways:
1. Monthly luncheons where they inspire, inform, and educate women.
2. The WOW Care closet provides FREE clothing to women who are preparing for interviews, changing careers, have had a weight loss or gain, or just need to be uplifted.
3. FIT for the King is a health awareness program that encourages women to obtain and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
For more information about WOW, you can visit their website using this link: About Us – W.O.W. Women of Wisdom

Welcome to Gulf Coast Training & Education Servces...it's nice to meet you!
Welcome to Gulf Coast Training & Education Services, LLC!
Hello! I’m Sheila Farr – an eternal optimist, international best-selling author, leadership expert, and passionate teacher. With over 33 years of experience in the fields of Human Resources, healthcare administration, management, and training, and service as a U.S. Air Force Reservist, I’ve dedicated my career to empowering individuals and businesses to thrive.
In 2017 I founded Gulf Coast Training & Education Services, LLC to help businesses and individuals gain the knowledge, skills, and tools needed to stay relevant and succeed in today’s fast-paced world. Through a combination of HR consulting, employee benefits administration, bookkeeping services, and professional development training, we partner with small businesses and professionals to propel them to new heights.
At GCTES, we believe in holistic growth. That’s why we also offer wellness courses, including yoga, tai chi, art classes and writing classes, to nurture the body, mind, and spirit. Additionally, we provide SHRM certification programs and job training to help professionals advance in their careers with confidence. Our offerings are designed to equip you with practical tools for every aspect of personal and business development.
As an advocate of lifelong learning, I’ve also had the privilege of volunteering as a literacy coach since the early 1990s. My passion for helping others share their stories led me to expand into literary services—guiding individuals to write, publish, and share their books or short stories to amplify their work, ministry, or advocacy. We have two literacy programs at GCTES: Best in Business Publishing (our magazine and boutique book publishing), and Biloxi Reads! - an initiative to get books into the hands of underserved populations here on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
Whether you’re looking for expert consulting, training, or coaching, we are committed to helping you achieve your goals and reach your full potential. Together, we’ll create a path to success in both your personal and professional life.
Let’s take the next step toward your success—we’re here to help you succeed!
Helping you succeed
We are currently offering most all of our courses and coaching in a virtual format. Please contact us to inquire about your specific needs. We are using several different on-line training platforms, so you'll have several options from which to choose.
We continue to offer smaller "in person" gatherings in accordance with all local, state and federal laws, as well as the CDC guidelines for safe gathering. We want to ensure your safety in training at all times!
