Coaching and Consulting for Senior Leadership
Faith-Based Organizations
Ministry leaders have the unique challenge of being both a spiritual community and a professional organization. Ministry leaders who are well-trained in the spiritual aspects of leadership can often find themselves missing training in how to engage in organizational issues, or the situation is so big that they do not have the time or resources to handle it independently.
Ryan's over two decades at a large parachurch organization has given him a high level of experience in helping ministry leaders apply organizational leadership principles in their context. This expertise and understanding are critical in ensuring these principles and practices remain auxiliary to the ministry's spiritual beliefs and goals. Ryan also has extensive experience handling challenging personnel situations in a ministry context, having led and trained others to lead through complex issues ranging from professional ineffectiveness to serious problems that may impact employment.

"Ryan worked with our elder team over a period of months as we navigated a difficult period. He helped us frame a process at the outset and guided us through it with a combination of gentle, probing questions and firm adherence to norms. We learned how to ask tough questions of ourselves; giving and receiving honest feedback with grace. We emerged from it with a new, healthier outlook and a sharpened focus on what it meant to follow Jesus in that time."

"Ryan led our leadership team through team building and strategic planning processes that moved us toward agreed-upon critical objectives that we have focused on all year. Ryan was able to draw each person out to gather input and he had the ability to see what our team needed in every discussion. Ryan also coached me through the process. He helped me see exactly what our team needed and the areas I knew I needed to focus on to accomplish our mission. We are now building our strategy on the right foundation."
