About Sunny
Sunny Lawson is an author, executive coach, and organizational advisor whose life bridges two worlds: the inner transformation of the soul and the strategic transformation of leaders and organizations.

Rooted in her own seasons of breaking and breakthrough, Sunny writes and teaches with clarity and compassion. Her U‑Turn Framework helps people recognize when life drifts off course and how God restores direction through repentance, receiving guidance, daily renewal, and ultimately multiplying impact in the lives of others. This heart comes alive in the U‑Turn Lab, a sacred and practical space she created for individuals to grow in hearing God, aligning with purpose, and practicing Spirit‑led transformation.
Sunny brings 20 years of experience as a corporate HR executive and six years as an executive and leadership coach, alongside a Master of Business Administration degree. Her career includes key leadership roles in major multinational companies such as Cummins, Thermo Fisher Scientific, and ZF Group, where she served as Head of Learning and Organizational Development.

The 12-Week U-Turn Program
Program Overview
The U-Turn Program is a 12-week, guided spiritual transformation journey designed to help participants walk with God, and with one another, through repentance, receiving, renewal, and reproduction. This is not a class for information transfer, but a sacred process of inner realignment with God’s truth and design.
Each participant commits to bringing one personal focus area into the journey (a relationship, habit, calling question, emotional pattern, leadership challenge, or spiritual block). The group walks together as a trusted spiritual formation team, offering prayer, accountability, and encouragement while honoring confidentiality and the work of the Holy Spirit.
Core Commitments for Participants
Before Week 1, every participant agrees to:
•Bring one personal transformation area they sense God inviting them to surrender and walk through
•Sign a confidentiality covenant, committing to protect every story shared
•Engage honestly, not performing or posturing, but showing up as they are
•Practice weekly reflection and obedience, trusting God with both process and pace
•“He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion.” — Philippians 1:6
