A Guided Coaching Process for Leaders at All Stages Who Want to Grow Deeper, Not Just Busier
Leadership development often stops at information — another book, another conference, another framework absorbed alone and quickly forgotten. This Leadership Development Process was built to do something different: turn reading and learning into relationship, and relationship into real, lasting transformation.
This is a guided personal experience for both young and seasoned leaders — people just getting started with life as well as those established leaders carrying real responsibility in ministry, congregations, camps, or leadership roles, and looking for a structured season of growth alongside others walking the same road.
How it works:
Participants move through a carefully sequenced coaching process with a significant reading component spanning spiritual formation, character, leadership, and Bible — drawn from voices like John Ortberg, John Maxwell, Patrick Lencioni, plus other significant voices. But the reading is only the starting point. The real work happens in the space around it:
- Electronic Interaction — Participants follow a very structured process on identifying key learning outcomes, 24 hour and 7 day action plans, coupled with an intentional personal teaching component intended to anchor the learning.
- In-Person Meetings — Face-to-face sessions create space for oral presentation, discussion, and the kind of honest, face-to-face conversation that reading and self-study alone can't produce.
- Written Work — A personal book overview and a culminating synthesis paper push participants to move past what I read toward what I'm going to do about it.
The learning is intentionally structured around what its framework calls the "Seven R's" of development — Reading, Relating, Rethinking, Reporting, Refocusing, Realigning, and Reenergizing — touching spiritual, personal, leadership, and Biblical growth all at once.
Why it matters:
The design of the Leadership Development Process rests on a simple belief: growth accelerates with intentionality. Participants are asked to create an environment that is open, respectful, and safe from judgment — a place where people can genuinely wrestle with ideas, struggles, and questions of faith and leadership without pretense.
Who it's for:
Young leaders, seasoned leaders, and practitioners who want more than another solo learning requirement — who are ready to be known, challenged, and coached through a season of intentional growth alongside a small community of peers.
