PurposeLeader

09/02/2026

You may have noticed a change around here.

Potential2Results is launching PurposeLeader™.

For years, my work has centered on helping leaders grow, lead well, and turn their potential into meaningful results. That isn’t going away.

But PurposeLeader™ represents a fuller expression of what I believe I’m called to do.

I believe our faith was never meant to be separated from our work.

Our leadership, careers, businesses, influence, decisions, relationships, and results are all places where we have the opportunity to live out God’s Kingdom purpose.

That’s what PurposeLeader™ is about.

It brings together three things that are too often separated:

Executive Coaching + Biblical Mission + Spiritual Formation

It’s about becoming the leader God is forming you to be, leading with excellence in the work He has given you, and using your influence to pursue meaningful, eternal results.

Not simply adding faith to your work.

Fully integrating your faith, work, leadership, and Kingdom mission.

Over the coming months, I’ll be sharing much more here about PurposeLeader™—including new resources, coaching, tools, and opportunities designed specifically for leaders who want to grow professionally without compartmentalizing their faith.

The name is changing.

The mission is becoming clearer.

PurposeLeader™: Live out God’s Kingdom purpose through your leadership and career.

Stay tuned!

Wouldn't it be refreshing if people were actually honest during a breakup?

"𝘐𝘵'𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘮𝘦... 𝘪𝘵'𝘴 𝙮𝙤𝙪."
No pretending.
No mixed signals.
Just the truth.

📣 𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: 𝘐𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱, 𝘩𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘺 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱𝘴 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥. 𝘜𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘺 𝘶𝘴𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘬𝘦𝘦𝘱𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘤𝘬.

In leadership, though, "It's not me, it's you" is a dangerous mindset.

The best leaders learn to look in the mirror before looking across the room.

Because when a team isn't performing...
When communication keeps breaking down...
When people seem disengaged...

Our first instinct is often to look somewhere else.

But after coaching leaders for years, I've learned something that's almost always true:
🫣 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲.

We don't always see the pressure we create.
The assumptions we make.
The messages we unintentionally send.

And even when someone else is contributing to the problem, our responsibility as leaders remains the same.

That's why learning to think about your thinking has become one of the foundations of my executive coaching practice.

This week, Landon interviewed me on the Marketplace Calling podcast about my ebook, 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘈𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨. We talked about why self-awareness is one of the greatest leadership advantages you can develop—and why the quality of your leadership is often limited more by your thinking than your talent.

If you've found yourself asking, "Why does this keep happening?"—whether with your team, your communication, or your leadership—I think you'll find our conversation valuable.

If you are a Christ-follower in business, you are called to the marketplace and it is no lesser of a calling than that of your pastor.

This week’s episode features our friend, Danielle Bowlin, who has been called into ministry ‘as she is going’ (aka in her workplace).

Our conversation spans everywhere from religion vs. a true relationship with God, prayer in business decisions, managing tough work environments when there’s a values mismatch and even God calling her out of a job in one of the craziest ways I’ve ever heard. (Believe me, listen to this episode just for this story!)

Danielle reminds us that God is faithful in the big things and the little things.

Through it all, what I admire about Danielle is that she does not divorce her faith from her work. She invites God in and shares the process with others along the way, delivering excellence in her business outcomes and Kingdom impact.

Tune in to hear Landon Williams, SIOR, CCIM - Capital Markets Advisor and I talk to Danielle on Episode 15 of the Marketplace Calling Podcast.

Questioning your strategy, leadership approach, or even whether you’re where God wants you to be?

Hebrews 4:16 says,
“𝙇𝙚𝙩 𝙪𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙖𝙘𝙝 𝙂𝙤𝙙’𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙛𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚, 𝙨𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙬𝙚 𝙢𝙖𝙮 𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙚𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙘𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙥 𝙪𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙙.”

That’s both encouraging and freeing.

It means in the middle of imperfection, insecurity, and weakness… we can still come to God for help.

And it’s not limited to certain kinds of problems. He invites all of it.

But here’s the tension.
This isn’t about asking God to bless our plans.
It’s about aligning with Him and following His plan.

If I’m honest, I still catch myself deciding how I want things to go… and then asking God to get on board.

This week on Marketplace Calling, Landon and I have a candid conversation about what it really looks like to seek the Lord.

If you’ve been wrestling with decisions, pressure, or direction… this one will hit home.

I had already gone to bed and was about to read for a bit.

Then I sensed an impression in my spirit:
𝘎𝘰 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘦𝘦 𝘓𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘳𝘢𝘺.

Landon’s son, Everett, had been born very premature and wasn’t doing well in the NICU.
When I met Landon in the waiting room, he said, “They just told me Everett is going to die. We’ve got a decision to make tomorrow.”

𝘽𝙪𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙢𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩, 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙥𝙧𝙖𝙮.

We went into the NICU and placed our hands on Everett’s incubator, the plastic bubble sustaining his life. We prayed boldly for a miracle. We weren’t the only ones praying. Many were lifting Everett up. I was just one of a few who had the privilege to be there in person, seeing the machines and watching the numbers that reflected his condition–numbers we were asking God to reverse.

The next morning, Landon shared what happened…
Every number had turned around.
Overnight, Everett was taken off three life-sustaining treatments.
Everett didn’t die.

A lot can happen in a day.

Maybe this is part of what Jesus meant in Matthew 6:34:
“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”

Since then, Everett has gone through more than 20 surgeries and ongoing therapies.
And Landon and his wife, Nicole, have learned what it means to live with a one-day-at-a-time faith.

It would be easy for Landon to say, “I’ve got enough on my plate,” and keep his faith private. But he hasn’t.

The transforming power of Jesus is too real, too compelling to keep to himself.

We talk about it all in this week’s episode of 𝙈𝙖𝙧𝙠𝙚𝙩𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙚 𝘾𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜. Search for it wherever you listen to podcasts.

By the way, Everett turns 9 in June. Here are a couple of photos of Landon and his son.

It was the first time I stopped asking God for what I wanted and instead asked what He wanted.

At the time, I was trying to make sense of being rejected after a couple of dates. I turned to Scripture, landing in the “love chapter” of 1 Corinthians 13, hoping to find encouragement.
Instead, I got conviction.

As I read through the description of love, it was like a mirror. And what I saw wasn’t great. I was self-serving, boastful, and focused on me. The Spirit of God made it clear I wasn’t living out the kind of love I was reading about.

That moment shifted something.

For maybe the first time, I truly repented of making it all about me. 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘮.

After that, everything about how I saw relationships began to change, personally and professionally. They were no longer a means to feeling significant, important, loved, or admired, but people to serve and truly care for.

I loved the opportunity to sit down with Greg Spillyards in this week’s episode of the 𝙈𝙖𝙧𝙠𝙚𝙩𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙚 𝘾𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 podcast. Our conversation is a good reminder that sometimes even when things seem to be going great, God’s stirring could be calling us to make a change…to do something different.

When Greg talks about feeling a restlessness from God, it takes me back to several key moments in my life. Moments when I was doing what looked right on paper, but it wasn’t aligned with what God was stirring in me.. One of those times, God was calling me into the really scary world of full-time vocational ministry. The other time, He was calling me out of that. Funny how God works.

God often leads in unexpected ways, and even when His direction feels stretching or unclear, He always has a plan.
