The Framework
CORE Leadership
You can’t just wing your personal or organizational development. Through training, teaching, and coaching leaders for many years, I’ve found that there are four essential aspects in which every leader can grow.

Leadership demands conviction. More than mere beliefs or values, conviction is the foundation for what you do and why. Richard Lints tells us, “The modern theological vision must seek to bring the entire counsel of God into the world of its time in order that its time might be transformed.”
How can you discern and bring God’s vision into the world?
How do you stand firm in your resolve in a shifting culture?
How to make decisions and walk through change?
-
How a leader puts together a vision is for others and themselves. You must grow in systems and structures to maximize your influence on the world and your internal character. But your systems don’t have to look like “next-level leadership” systems. They are biblical rules for your life that shape your life.
How can you build a more sustainable system for life (A “Rule of Life”?)
How can you build a healthy culture and lead teams?
-
Leaders experience great pressure to produce. Yet, you must understand God’s desire for communion with Him. You are on a journey of transformation, and knowing where you are and where you are going is vital to living day-by-day. Renewed leaders anchor their souls in another world.
How can you thrive at work?
How do you understand your place before God and how do others experience you?
-
Leadership means that you raise the tide for everyone around you. You invest in, build up, and send out leaders. In a world of scarcity, narcissism, and control, it can be difficult to invest your time in building and releasing others.
How can you raise up new leaders?
How do you create a curriculum and culture to disciple and mentor leaders in your church, organization, or business?
“You become like what you worship. When you gaze in awe, admiration, and wonder at something or someone, you begin to take on something of the character of the object of your worship.”

What Leaders Are Experiencing
Nick has been in the trenches of ministry, and possesses the depth of wisdom that often comes with such experience. Having shared life with Nick in those trenches and having received the gifts God has given him, I heartily recommend his his coaching and care.

Nick is a great champion of others. He is an active listener and asks thoughtful questions to ignite strategic vision
— Deb Gregory, spiritual director, a documentary filmmaker, and podcast curator.
Nick is a leader that cares. He not only cares about the results of the people he coaches, but the character that is developed within their souls. Rather than telling you what to do, Nick has an uncanny ability to draw out of you what must happen next for you and your organization to thrive.
— Rob Maine, Lead Pastor of Renaissance Church Pittsburgh
