Who I serve

Three kinds of leader

Twenty years in pulpits and boardrooms taught me one thing. The gift is rarely the problem. The weight is. I work with people who have the first and are learning to carry the second.

Pastors and planters

Senior leaders between year three and year fifteen who need a confidential place to think, pray and decide.

Founders of faith

Owners who want a company that reflects their convictions without sacrificing rigor, margin or their family.

Executives in transition

People moving into or out of significant roles who want to do it with clarity and without bitterness.

Programs

Ways to work together

Every engagement begins with a conversation. Nothing is sold on this page that has not been discussed in person.

Every detail and the upcoming dates

A leader does not need more answers. A leader needs one honest question, asked at the right time.

How it works

Four steps

  1. Conversation

    A forty minute call. You describe the weight. I tell you honestly whether I can help.

  2. Assessment

    A short written inventory of your rhythms, relationships and the decisions in front of you.

  3. Formation

    Regular sessions with a clear agenda. Scripture, strategy and candor in equal measure.

  4. Release

    We end on purpose, with a plan you can run without me and a door that stays open.
