TRANSFORMING LEADERS & ORGANIZATIONS
Helping leaders be all that God created them to be to maximize their and their organization's impact on the world around them
Serving businesses, churches, & non-profits
The Pathway to Personal Growth
The absolute best way to help yourself grow as a leader will be to engage with the right leadership coach, one who will provide support, encouragement, and accountability, one who will get to know you as a person, help you discover your natural strengths and struggles, and even help you overcome barriers that arise from your story.
The Foundation of Organizational Effectiveness
However, as a result of our individual uniquenesses, our leadership teams too often have more struggles than strengths.
We utilize powerful behavioral profiles as effective tools to help teams and teammates understand themselves better. We can also utilize powerful Leadership 360 assessments, sometimes alongside a “living 360,” where we facilitate face-to-face feedback and discussions.
The key impact on your team will come from our ½ to 2 day highly interactive Team Building Workshop, where we bring in many other great leadership and team resources such as the best healthy team models, emotional intelligence equipping, results vs. relationships training, etc.
Then we can continue to coach your leadership team and its individuals as you apply the growth commitments you make during the workshop.
A Roadmap You Will Learn and Adopt
Our belief is that Strategic Planning should be almost continuous and always include execution planning. We will walk you through a methodology that you will continue to utilize as a part of your own CULTURE.
Our process is uniquely effective because it IS UNIQUE in several ways:
It utilizes an easy to follow and remember visual process
It focuses on building your leadership team relationships as you plan
We plan execution as an integral part of the plan itself
As we do this you are learning an ongoing process that you will continue to apply yourself
You will be creating a CULTURE of planning and execution
Does your Board try to manage the organization or rubber-stamp the desires of the CEO?
Neither of these is GOVERNING, which is the role of the Board. We will work with your Board to equip the members to govern effectively with the best approach tailored to your organization.
NEEDS ANALYSIS
An Objective Assessment
Exactly how ARE we doing? Where are our frustrations coming from? Why are we stuck? What do we not know that we don't know?
A Needs Analysis can include key data collection, surveys (of leaders, the entire organization, or the entire church), interviews with key leaders, and observations of leadership meetings.
Then we will meet with your Leadership Team or Board to discuss key takeaways and recommended next steps.
Truth at Work roundtables are specifically for Christian leaders who want to join a community of peers who meet monthly to discuss the intersection of the personal, professional, and spiritual in their lives.

I had leadership success I would not have had except from John's coaching
(Alan Taha, Sr. Pastor, Trinity Pres, Boerne, TX)
From Greg Dolby, VP Ellison Surface Technologies
It is my privilege to offer a very positive perspective on the services of John Purcell as a strategic contributor to the professional and personal development of our company team members.
John specifically helped us tackle a challenge with the leadership team at a site where the corporate organization does not have daily visibility to that team. This challenge required coaching and relationship building skills that addressed understanding and embracing our vison and values as well working collaboratively as a team toward achieving our core business goals.
At the center of this process was the need for confronting negative cultural issues and creating a common narrative regarding what good leaders are and do. In a setting that had not previously been marked by transparency and vulnerability, John was able to surface points of view and perspectives that brought a new health to co-worker and cross-functional relationships.
John’s style of coaching and challenging people is an effective combination of being respectful while providing tools that equip people and also hold them accountable. He is able to draw issues out of group interactions and then challenge people to work on solving those issues as a team. His strategy involves an element of training but emphasizes on group processing of what is learned in an effort to surface the underlying obstacles that can frustrate progress and behavior change.
I highly recommend John for any professional development engagement where organizational health is considered essential to the company’s success. He will bring a level of improvement in that arena no matter where the current state may be.
From Owen Lee, Sr. Pastor, Christ Central Presbyterian Church, Centerville, VA
John Purcell has forever changed how we, as a staff, do strategic planning. He not only helped us with create a strategic plan for our church, but more importantly, he taught us how to do strategic planning on our own! Now, at our annual staff planning retreats, we do strategic planning for the year and execute that plan far more effectively and fruitfully than we ever have before. Working with John was one of the best investments that I, and our church, have ever made.
From Matt Ballard, Sr. Pastor, SouthPointe Community Church, Nolensville, TN
We invited John Purcell to help lead our church through a season of self discovery and strategic planning. Although we were prepared for him to ask us the kind of questions that brought clarity about the future, we were deeply impacted by how well he led us to discover ourselves, God’s unique calling on our church, and the opportunities we have to impact the world for the Kingdom. John’s thoughtful questions, keen insights, extensive experience and persistent encouragement opened our eyes to unique strengths and opportunities we didn’t know we had.
The congregation of Southpointe Community Church has been indelibly shaped and will be forever grateful for the time we spent with John. As for me personally, having John coach me was one of the most helpful experiences in leadership development I’ve ever had. John gave me tools for thinking through critical issues, helped me see the value of exercising emotional intelligence and health, and was invaluable as a source of feedback and encouragement as I led our church through some important changes.
