Dr. Stephen collaborates with clients to:

• Understand the origins of a persistent challenge within their leadership, team dynamic, and/or organization, their role in its development, and implement sustainable solutions to resolve and mitigate them

• Use failure as capital for refining their leadership, improving relationships, and becoming better people who produce a positive exponential impact

• Develop new paradigms for building trust and community within their unique context

• Develop and implement a biblical worldview for practical problems

Dr. Stephen leverages his expertise in the areas of leadership development, conflict resolution, and research to support philanthropy, schools, and school systems in:

• Interrogating school policies and practices that are counter to the expressed commitment to the children and community they serve

• Recentering fathers/male caregivers as school partners in the learning trajectory of their children as students and reducing the overtaxing of mothers/female caregivers

• Closing the communication and collaboration gaps between the school and fathers/male caregivers so they reinvest in the rich strategic involvement and academic coaching that comes naturally to fathers and use these skills as resources for accelerating students’ academic achievement

The daily intentional leadership of self is essential to continued effectiveness in the leadership of others. Dr. Stephen uses a biblical worldview centered on operating from a bold vision, pursuing it with courage, and facilitating it with consistency and care among the people they lead as key elements for having exponential impact be it from the kitchen table or the conference room. This enables him to equip the people he coaches with both secular tools and strategies that align with these values and creates the space for leaders to unearth the unique paradigm for integrity-driven influence with whoever they lead and wherever they go.

Effective Self- Leadership demands a commitment to:

• Ongoing personal development and learning

• Live a fully integrated life rather than attempting to live isolated personas based on how you want to be perceived rather than who you genuinely were created to be and called to be in the spaces you occupy

• Welcoming failure as a tool to learn, teach, and develop better systems of thinking and action that enhance not only yourself but the well-being of others
