What To Expect...
"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." - Preston

"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."  
"Pres, I really, really appreciate your writing. You write out the struggles and fights I have with God. All the same questions, all the same thoughts. You give me amazing, amazing hope. Over the past few months your writings have been a light, a guide and an anchor to me. Thank you."   -Joy

BATTLE FOR THE ROUND TOWER
"I found myself reading "Battle for the Round Tower" just as I did my initial reading of "The Chronicles of Narnia," which I first did as an adult. While there was clearly spiritual symbolism, the first time through I read almost entirely for the pleasure of the story. Then, I did a second, slower reading, intentionally hunting for and relishing each truth discovered on the journey. As a woman, I especially appreciated the juxtaposition of the rugged masculinity with the sensitive vulnerability of Hank."   -Tricia

How is your strength holding up?

 

Do you feel like you have reserves left to draw upon, or do you feel your resources waning as the race progresses?

 

I flipped on the TV last night and caught the last few minutes of Rocky IV. * Rocky (Sylvester Stallone) was fighting the monstrous, Russian heavyweight, Ivan Drago. As Rocky gasps for air between rounds, his eyes bleeding and swollen, his trainer keeps telling him, "No pain. You're feeling no pain."

 

Let's face it, Rocky was in pain. But like any great fantasy, suspense was created as the end approached. And I swelled with anticipation that Rocky's mental focus would summon enough strength to prevail in the final round.

 

I identify. Life is like a great fairy tale.

 

On the one hand, I am assaulted by demons, darkness, and a dragon of incredible proportion - Satan. On the other hand, I walk in Light, am indwelled by the Spirit of God, have everything necessary to live a conquering life, and... Read Full Article...

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
Developing Genuine Leaders
pres, preston, iom, gillham 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
