LEADERSHIP and organizational TRANSFORMATION: COACHING & CONSULTING for TODAY’S christian organizations

The Challenge

We will help your organization:

  • Develop leadership that honors God and inspires people

  • Build teams that thrive through healthy collaboration

  • Create systems that steward resources with excellence

  • Establish cultures where people and organizations flourish

About Todd Marshall Hearnsberger, MBA

OUR Coaching Philosophy: Bringing core values and leadership together

Faith-based organizations thrive when their core values align with their leadership practices. It's not about adding spiritual language to business plans—it's about authentic integration where daily operations reflect foundational beliefs, creating a culture of integrity that inspires teams and serves your mission effectively.

  • Functionally healthy leadership is built on serving others first, putting the needs of your team ahead of your own authority.

    What this means for your organization:

    • Leaders who actively support their teams rather than simply directing from above

    • A workplace culture where people feel genuinely valued and authentically motivated

    • Teams that collaborate to solve problems because mutual trust has been established

    • Reduced turnover and stronger commitment to your organization's mission

    This service-first approach transforms traditional power dynamics, creating a more engaged, loyal, and effective organization where everyone can contribute their best work.

  • Every Christian organization manages resources that God has entrusted to them — people, money, time, and facilities. I'll help your organization:

    • Make sure your spending matches your mission

    • Handle finances with integrity

    • Develop the gifts and talents of your people

    • Make decisions that balance wisdom and practical actions

    • Run your operations efficiently to maximize your impact

  • The most effective Christian organizations feel like a family rather than a business. Together, we'll create a place where:

    • People can speak honestly without repercussions

    • Disagreements lead to better solutions, not division

    • Everyone contributes their unique gifts and ideas

    • Team members hold each other accountable in love

    • Different departments work together toward common goals

  • Christian organizations need more than just good strategy—they need a compelling, purpose-driven vision that gives meaning to their work.

    My approach helps you:

    • Discover your organization's unique purpose and direction

    • Align daily decisions with your core mission and values

    • Create an inspiring vision that energizes your entire team

    • Develop clear pathways from current reality to desired future

    • Measure success through both meaningful impact and practical outcomes

    When team members understand not just what they're doing but why it matters, engagement, innovation, and resilience all increase dramatically. A powerful vision creates focus, unity, and the momentum needed to overcome challenges.
