Faith-Based Transformative
Business Coaching
Empowering Leaders, Teams and Organizations to Get Unstuck, Grow Stronger and Lead with Clarity and God's Purpose
True transformation starts within. We coach business owners, executives, and leadership teams to overcome challenges and build capability using AbilityMap.
Coaching in the Gap™ for Business Leaders:
Depth, Direction, and Development.
Feeling Stuck, Stressed, or Out of Alignment?
You’re not alone. Many Christian business leaders silently wrestle with challenges like:
You're carrying the weight of leadership without a clear path forward.
Decision fatigue and constant pressure are draining your energy.
Your team isn't aligned, and you're not sure how to fix it.
Growth feels stalled—and you can’t see why.
You have vision, but translating it into action is overwhelming.
You wonder if you're stewarding your role to its full potential.
Transformative Coaching™ helps you move from frustration to clarity—and from survival to strategic leadership.
What is Transformative Coaching?
What makes us different from traditional "business coaching"?
✅ Individuals, teams and whole organizations are faced with the need to transform in some capacity or another: Revenue, Operations, Branding and Marketing, Product development, Customer Service, Social Identity. We can coach you to get from "Here" to "There" with our 3-Step Coaching Process - Coaching in the GapTM.
✅ Rooted in proven techniques developed and endorsed by the Professional Christian Coaching Institute (PCCI), an accredited ICF (International Coaching Federation) organization.
✅ Built for leadership clarity and confidence
✅ Focused on internal growth and long-term change
✅ We help you find the solutions best for you and your team vs someone telling you what to do.
“Transformative Business Coaching is not consulting or life coaching—it’s leadership development with depth and direction...”

Parable of Talents:
Matthew 25:14-30 (ESV)
Stewardship - Return - Opportunity
The Parable of the Talents is the second of three parables where Jesus tells us in Matthew 25 how we are to live our life while waiting for His return. It's an amazing story of how we are judged based on what God has given us, a "talent" proportionate to our ability, and what God is trusting us to do with it: to multiple what was given to us or suffer the consequences of "just burying those talents".
It is our belief that if the 3rd person in this parable had access to wise council and coaching, his life would have ended in a much better place. Clearly the "master" in this story believes all 3 have the ability to be successful - or he wouldn't have entrusted them with His talents.
If we believe that we are created in the image of God, Imago Dei, and if God is a creator (afterall it is the first sentence in the Bible), then we all have those innate abilities to multiply those things entrusted to us by God and to be rewarded for it.
Your business isn't yours, it's God's business. Let us help you lead your company as if Jesus was the Chairman of the Board. He wants to be part of all your plans.
The way of a fool is right in his own eyes,
But he who heeds counsel is wise.
Proverbs 12:15
Transformative Coaching ≠ Consulting
We empower the leader to find solutions within them
Thinking Partnership and Problem Solving
Uncovering limiting beliefs—the inner work that drives outer results.
Stuck to Strategic
Helping business leaders move from stuck to strategic.
Through clarity, capability, and confidence.
Science of Human Capability
Because real transformation starts with clarity. We measure the gap, then coach you through it.
Understand the capabilities of your leaders and team members.
Coaching in the Gap™
Coaching in the Gap™ is our method of identifying capability gaps and coaching leaders and teams into alignment with their highest potential.

I had the pleasure of working with Chris for over a year when he was in the role of COO. He is that rare combination of strategic thinker as well as powerful implementer. We would brainstorm ideas to grow and develop the business, then he would have some amazing insights as to how to actually translate them into reality. He could go from big picture thinking to intricate detail in the same breath. I found him thorough and systematic while remaining personal and affable and would love the opportunity to work with him again in the future.
