"My typical engagement transpires either in person, during an off-site retreat, over the telephone, or via video conference. Each option has distinct advantages and a few disadvantages. Ultimately, I will do whatever it takes to ensure our work succeeds." - PrestonLearn More About What To Expect:

"I do not take partnerships lightly. In fact, I won't accept a partnership with a ministry leader unless we share the same identity - that of being in Christ and drinking from the same cup of the indwelling mind of Jesus. Preston is one of those fellow believers I not only call friend, but a co-worker of the Grace of God! I highly recommend the Lord's work through him to you."

Dave held my finger and chewed on it with his two bottom teeth, ignored all the fancy toys his parents had carted to the house, and was totally infatuated with our dog, Honey, who was equally interested in Dave. She couldn't quite figure if this was competition or simply a moving ornament. It was clear from the start that Dave's hands were always wet, and therefore, pulled her hair when he patted her.

Developing Genuine Leaders
|
 True leaders are formed, not born. Leadership is demonstrated and grown and nurtured. In other words, leaders are developed.
They don't call it "human capital" for nothing. You are worth the investment and development and thoughtful care necessary to build your human capital.
None of us are designed to be islands. Even though we fancy ourselves independent, "one" is a lonely number. And, the greater the demand and expectation is on a leader, the more lonely life can be, which dramatically increases the risk of a mistake. I can help manage the risks to your reputation while developing your effectiveness as a leader and person.
We all need assistance segmenting our giftedness and responsibilities into meaningful and manageable skills. We all need someone who helps guard our backside and looks out for our blind spots. We all need someone to protect our potential while guiding our human development. This is especially true for those in leadership roles. Learn More
