Dedicated to teaching and learning, she is a cum laude college graduate (Biola University), holder of an honorary Doctor of Divinity Degree, and member of several prestigious organizations (ACE, AWSA). Sharon is also a religious broadcaster hosting her own show, Life That Matters with Sharon Norris Elliott, and a women’s roundtable show, A View from the Upper Room, on The Holy Spirit Broadcasting Network (HSBN.tv), and the Christian Women’s Word Network (CWWN.tv). Both shows also available on Facebook Live and Spotify.
Under the Life That Matters Ministries umbrella, are her two companies. Milk & Honey Life Retreats rival any other girls’ getaway for both fun and faith enhancement. Through her AuthorizeMe® Consulting, Coaching, and Editing Firm, Sharon edits others’ work, mentors up-and-coming writers and speakers, coaches writers as they draft their manuscripts, and conducts hands-on seminars personally assisting attendees toward their publishing goals. The latest exciting growth of her AuthorizeMe® brand includes her new move to now function as a literary agent.

Frequently asked questions
Who is this conference for? How do I know if it’s for me?
The Lead Bold Conference is simply a leadership conference for women in ministry. If you see what you do as ministry (paid, volunteer, experienced, brand new, church-centric or not), then you will fit right in at this conference. At the conference, you will get to enjoy challenging teaching, invigorating discussion and relevant ministry insights from our ministry panel. You’ll get to connect with other women in ministry who can encourage you regardless of your ministry season. If you’re looking to learn from other women leaders and get to share what you’ve learned along the way, too, then it’s for you. This conference is a gathering of ministry leaders, so if that’s you, then we hope to see you there!
How is this conference going to refresh me?
Will the conference address doctrinal or theological issues surrounding gender and/or women’s roles?
The short answer is “yes”...but we don’t all have to agree. The Lead Bold Conference is not about gender roles, but discussion around this topic is inevitable. The conference is designed to be a place of mutual encouragement and support regardless of differing interpretations around the topic of women’s roles. We welcome all ministry leaders to attend, no matter their tradition, denomination or perspective. We do ask that any discussion on this topic that occurs at any Lead Bold event, be engaged in with respect and toward the goal of understanding one another.
Are scholarships available for the conference?
We never want finances to hinder a woman from attending the Lead Bold Conference. With that in mind we are able to offer scholarships on a case by case basis. If you are interested in applying for a scholarship, please email us with your inquiry and someone from our scholarship team will be in touch with next steps.
