Testimonies from participants:

“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

“This has been the greatest investment of resources I have made in years, and I know it’s going to pay dividends in the future. It will make a difference in your life!”

Rev. Craig Bellis, Point View Church

“It gave me tools to make our businesses impactful. Not only did it give me tools, give my employees a sense of purpose and feel valued but it helped me to gain a sense of purpose and clarity of why we do what we do.”

Ed Hoover

“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

“I was a good leader. CSL made me much better. It is well worth it and will save years of work.”

Mark Peterson, Lawley (a “Best Place to Work”)

“When a friend asks me about the value of being part of the Serving Leader program, I tell them to just sign up, that it is worth every penny and has paid me dividends year after year.”

Ernie Hershberger, Homestead Furniture, Dutch Design, and Abner Henry

“We have a values-driven reputation that allows us to attract and retain good people. They hear that it’s not all about the money here and they want to work in a place where the goal of building up our people and our team is as important as building a shed. I encourage everyone to make the commitment to join a cohort.  Take the plunge. It is well worth it.”

Daniel Miller, JDM Structures
