Leaders & Personal Development

Self-Awareness. Clarity. Growth. For Leaders, Professionals, and Ministry Staff.
Great leadership starts with knowing yourself clearly.
Most leaders aren’t held back by lack of talent — they’re held back by blind spots, communication gaps, unclear motivations, or mismatched roles.
For more than 20 years, I’ve helped leaders, executives, pastors, and professionals understand themselves at a deeper level so they can lead with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
This is not personality “fluff.”
This is the kind of insight that changes how leaders show up every day.
​
What Leaders Need (But Rarely Receive)
Leaders often face pressures and expectations that expose the things they don’t know about themselves.
Most leadership struggles come from:
  • communication style conflicts
  • unclear strengths or misplaced expectations
  • blind spots under pressure
  • misunderstood motivations
  • role misalignment
  • stress responses no one trained them to recognize
  • patterns of behavior that show up inconsistently
Traditional leadership coaching rarely reaches this depth.
Assessment-centered development does.

How Pathways Helps Leaders Grow
A proven developmental process built on accurate, professional assessments.
Every leader receives:
1. Behavioral Profile (How You Act & Communicate)
How you show up with people.
How you respond under pressure.
How you prefer to lead, follow, and collaborate.
2. Motivators & Values Profile (Why You Act That Way)
What energizes you.
What drains you.
Where conflict comes from.
Where purpose shows up.
3. Axiology / Thinking Profile (How You Make Decisions)
Your natural strengths.
Your internal values hierarchy.
Your blind spots and pressure patterns.
This is the depth most leaders never get — and the insight that changes everything.


What Leaders Walk Away With
Clear, practical insight into:
  • strengths
  • blind spots
  • stress and pressure tendencies
  • communication style
  • values and motivators
  • leadership tendencies
  • decision-making approach
  • conflict triggers
  • ideal role fit
And more importantly:
how to lead, communicate, and show up more effectively.


​Leaders Who Benefit Most
This process is ideal for:
  • Executives
  • Managers
  • Pastors
  • Church planters
  • Ministry leaders
  • Entrepreneurs
  • Team leaders
  • Department heads
  • Professionals seeking growth or transition
If you lead people — or want to — this process brings clarity you’ve never had.


What Leaders Say
"I wanted to let you know that I am very happy and fulfilled in my job with the investment group, and I will have my 2-year anniversary in January. I am truly in the right place and the right time in my life. Thank you for your part in helping me to evaluate my goal and make the move."
—Diane

“The Pathways process has really helped the rectors in the diocese.”
— Bishop

Personal Development—Taking Charge of Your Own
Personal development isn’t about fixing what’s wrong — it’s about finally understanding what’s true.
Most adults live with vague self-awareness, unspoken frustrations, or a sense that they’re not using their strengths fully. Life gets busy, roles shift, stress accumulates, and people forget to ask the most important questions:
“Who am I now? What do I really want? Why am I wired this way? What would a fulfilling life look like?”
Our personal development process brings clarity back into focus.

What Personal Development Actually Uncovers
Most adults hit a point where they feel:
  • bored or stagnant in their work
  • unsure what direction to take next
  • overwhelmed by pressure
  • confused about what they truly want
  • stuck in patterns that don’t feel like “them”
  • ready for change but not sure where to start
Assessment-centered development gives you language, insight, and direction — not vague advice.

What You Receive 
1. Behavioral Insight (How You Naturally Operate)
This reveals your natural style:
  • how you communicate
  • how you handle pressure
  • how you relate to others
  • what energizes you
  • what drains you
People often say, “For the first time, this makes sense.”

2. Motivational Insight (Why You Do What You Do)
This goes deeper — into purpose, values, and what drives action.
It identifies:
  • what you value most
  • where your passion lives
  • why certain environments fit (or don’t)
  • why some tasks feel effortless and others feel exhausting
This is the foundation of alignment.

3. Thinking & Decision-Making Insight (How You Process the World)
This uncovers:
  • your natural mental strengths
  • how you weigh people vs tasks
  • how you make choices under pressure
  • your blind spots and default patterns
This gives adults clarity they’ve often been missing for decades.

4. Support Through Transition Coaching
Adults often seek clarity when facing:
  • career change
  • burnout
  • relationship shifts
  • spiritual or personal re-evaluation
  • new leadership responsibilities
  • major life transitions
The coaching process gives you support to navigate and process change.


Who Personal Development Is For
  • Adults wanting more clarity or direction
  • Anyone feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain
  • Professionals experiencing burnout or transition
  • Parents rediscovering themselves after big life shifts
  • Adults asking “What’s next?” in their work or life
  • Anyone wanting to grow into a stronger, clearer version of themselves
This process helps adults become centered, grounded, and aligned.

Special Applications For Pastors & Ministry Leaders
Ministry leadership brings unique challenges — spiritual, emotional, relational, and organizational.
Across 20+ years of ministry assessment work, I’ve seen consistent patterns:
Church Planters
Profile similar to entrepreneurs/outside sales:
  • high drive
  • high influence
  • low fear
  • fast pace
  • strong starters
Pastors / Shepherds / Growers
Different profile:
  • relational
  • steady
  • people-focused
  • long-term builders
  • stable presence
One is not better than the other — but they are not interchangeable.
Misalignment creates burnout, conflict, and stagnation.
Assessments bring clarity.
Clarity brings healthier ministries.
