Testimonies from participants:

“Defining the core values that I lead from has been so helpful for me and our organization. This exercise alone has smoothed the way for so many more beneficial outcomes in our work environment. But it goes beyond defining. John was helpful personally in navigating the implementation and communication of these core values. I don’t think I could have implemented well without guidance.”

Jeremy Miller, Rosedale Bible College

“We had people representing all levels of our organization on Zoom including eight international locations.  CSL’s ability to engage all 26 people during the training sessions was extra ordinary! In spite of the organization just having gone through a huge crisis the impact of this work was exponential creating a cohesion of the whole which endures to this day.”

Gerry Keener, Eastern Mennonite Missions

“I made a comment to my wife that the coaching call was worth the price of the entire cohort. I realized that here’s someone who’s not only experienced in coaching and leadership but has been through so many of the same things I was going through.”

Craig Bellis, Covenant Life Fellowship

“Because of attending the Serving Leader cohort, I have learned to respect and cherish my God-given personality strengths. Prior to the course, I felt detached as if I were floating aimlessly in our family business. I saw how these unique giftings were the secret sauce to our family business. Thank you CSL team for helping me learn to love myself and have a purpose in the family business again.”

Jaina Shirk, Shirk Brothers Roofing

“I’m personally grateful for John Stahl-Wert’s Serving Leader training. It has made a lasting, positive impact on ProVia, and many other leaders and businesses in our community.”

Bill Mullet, ProVia

“I have had tremendous growth in the last 6 months because of CSL. I feel blessed and fortunate! CSL introduced us to people who are integrating better practices into their lives, people who are now friends. If you want your life to be a holistic combination of your personal life, professional life, and faith, you need to join a Serving Leader Cohort.”
