If this is you, you're not alone

Leading on fumes
is lonely work.

You're depleted

You keep pouring out. No one asks how your own soul is doing.

You can't say it out loud

What's weighing on you can't be said from the platform or in staff meeting.

You've tried before

Books, retreats, resolutions. Nothing stuck, so now you doubt anything will.

You don't need one more program. You need a guide who has walked it and a plan sized to your week.

Pastor. Teacher. Author. Coach.

Three ways to work together

Every track starts with the same free conversation, so you never commit to something before you know it fits.

Individual Spiritual Direction

Free

One 30-minute call

You're not sure what you need yet.

Spiritual direction and coaching provide a sacred space to listen to what the Lord is saying to someone. It helps a person, especially in times of transition—which can occur in all seasons of life. The seeker, referred to as a “client,” sets the agenda, and Doug comes alongside as a spiritual friend.

Executive Leadership Coaching

10 Sessions

Every other week · 60 min

You're depleted and ready to change the rhythm.

Issues of motivation, character, relationships, performance, and stress continually confront and challenge leaders. Executive leadership coaching helps leaders pay attention to these inner dynamics so they can be proactive in channeling them for a better life and more effective, fruitful results at work.

Direction & Vision for Churches and Organizations

Custom

3–12 months · Your staff, board,
or leadership team

Your church or organization needs clear direction, not another short-term plan.

Clear direction begins with a strong sense of identity. Through a guided process, churches and organizations clarify who they are, discern where they are being called, and develop a shared vision to guide their priorities and decisions for the next three to five years—and beyond.
