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

Ten-year-old Chick Flick

I'm not usually one to split hairs on film genres, but there are chick flicks and then there are chick flicks. If the only thing a movie has in it is romance, then it is a chick flick, pure and simple. But my world has expanded. My niece introduced me to a new concept: ten-year-old chick flicks.

 

Not only is our niece ten years old, but the actors in "Little Manhattan"  are ten-years old, as well. I was prepared to slog through a poor movie, but there was a good fight scene, and the story was fun. But what was especially nice was our niece being with us, sitting between Dianne and me, building memories.

 

Reminiscing is one of the universal activities that bonds families. Most of the fun conversations, heartiest laughs, and greatest points of connection occur with a recounting of memories at reunions, around the dinner table, or sitting together after...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
