About Us

Vision

We will be the premiere global platform for transformational training, resources, and coaching from a thoroughly Christian perspective, and given by those recognized in their fields as thought leaders and seasoned practitioners.

We will provide a “finishing school” series of tracks and courses that will be professionally delivered to accelerate personal and career performance to steward the favor of God in the workplace.

We will train ambassador quality leaders who will impact their vocations and communities with proven principles and practices that produce transformation.

Mission

Our mission is to maximize the competence and calling for those eager to step up to play a bigger game and make a difference that matters.

Our mission is to mobilize thousands of credentialed and certified coaches and influencers who are passionate about leveraging their unique design, desires, and dreams to leave a lasting legacy.

Our mission is to serve every participant to understand the times and to be fully awake to the Great Commission opportunities that no other times have seen.

Values

Tailor-Made: We value “tailor-made” training that fits the unique story line for every person’s dreams and goals.

Convergence: We value “convergence” that ties together the power of lifeforming content, with the passion of life-changing relationships and the perspective of life-altering experiences.

Real: We value “authentic” teaching moments by transparent presenters that catalyze authentic community through those who replicate to others.

Fresh: We value dynamic “in season” training that produces new perspectives and new approaches to lingering challenges we face.

Results: We value people and training materials that reproduce sustainable change in learners by focusing on applying each of our intentional difference at home and work.

Footprint

2000-present: Transformational Leadership Coaching is launched at Regent University and in the surrounding community, and has continued to grow and develop through Lifeforming Leadership, Lifeforming Leadership Coaching and Lifeforming Institute, to the present status (2015):
