What Does Onward & Upward Mean to You?

“”Onward and upward” means to me mobility, movement, not stopping, don’t give up, not being complacent, striving to reach higher. I think of elevation. I think of stretch, ’cause when we find ourselves in uncomfortable situations, that’s when we are actually developing ourselves, because we’re out of our comfort zone. So “stretch” reminds me of “onward and upward,” and just basically never giving up, continue to persevere. That’s what “onward and upward” means to me.”

Sharon Grant is the Founder and CEO of Oasis of Serenity Counseling and Consulting Services. It is Sharon’s belief that it is possible to experience peace and growth in the midst of situations that appear barren or unproductive. This is the dominant principle of her Counseling, Coaching & Training practice. An oasis is fertile, lush land in the midst of a desert, where vegetation continues to grow and life can prosper despite the surrounding environment. Her focus of treatment is on growth and inner peace; peace within yourself and with others.


Sharon is a Licensed Professional Counselor. She graduated from Argosy University/ Atlanta campus with a Master of Science Degree in Professional Counseling. Sharon has been in private practice for 5 years. Sharon is a firm believer that we need others at times to come along beside us to inspire, strengthen, and motivate us towards our desired goals.


Sharon is passionate in working with couples in the areas of marital enhancement & divorce prevention. Sharon has a strong desire to support couples to cultivate their marriage by equipping them with strategies to have longevity & marital success. She is a Certified Prepare-Enrich Facilitator whose mission is to equip marriage champions, couples, and families with evidence-based skills and insights to foster healthy relationships.


Sharon works with motivated individuals, couples, teams, budding entrepreneurs, emerging leaders, and small businesses to develop and foster emotional stability, empowerment, connectivity, teamwork, competence, identify blind spots, and personal & leadership development through coaching and training. Sharon is an Independent Certified John Maxwell Speaker, Coach and Trainer.


She assists individuals who experience mental health challenges to cope and manage those challenges by examining their perception of challenges and alter views to aid in acceptance, serenity and recovery.


Collectively, she has worked approximately 25 years in the social service/counseling field working with a diverse population of abused, delinquent youth, at-risk families, and women seeking empowerment, trauma recovery, substance use, military veterans, and individuals seeking to manage mental illness and maintain emotional stability.
