CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP COACHING · ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Work With Mike

Two ways to work together: forming the leader, and forming the organization.

FOR CHRISTIAN ENTREPRENEURS AND EXECUTIVES

Integrated Leadership Journey

Strategy and spiritual guidance in one engagement.

Built on the principles of Intention and Stability, and on Benedict’s Ladder of Humility.

You leave with a plan for your business and a Personal Rule of Life for yourself: one integrated life instead of two.

“Mike Ferrell’s business coaching has brought a greater sense of fulfillment to the way we manage relationships with our future, current, and past clients, our team, and the work we do every day.”
Paul Reynolds, Reynolds Construction Management

WHO THIS IS FOR

You’re in the right place if…

  • You’re successful by every outside measure, and hollow on the inside.
  • You’re tired of being one person at church and another at work.
  • You want your character, not just your competence, to define your leadership.
  • You’re ready for change that goes deeper than strategy.

Questions

Do I have to be Catholic?

No. The work is rooted in the Christian faith and the Benedictine tradition, and all are welcome at this table.

What does spiritual guidance mean here?

Faith is part of the coaching, not added on top. We look honestly at your interior life alongside your business. If you are already doing formal spiritual direction this doesn’t replace it, it complements it.

Do we meet in person or online?

Available in person in Sioux Falls or online.

What if I’m not ready?

We’ll say so in the discernment conversation. We would rather say “not yet” than start work that won’t succeed.

THE DISCERNMENT CALL

Not a sales call. A conversation worth having.

Forty-five minutes to look honestly at where you are and whether working together is the right next step.
