For Firms

For Christian-led firms ready to lead together at a deeper level

Discovery Engagements and ongoing leadership team development for Christian-owned firms in financial services, law, medical, and other professional services.

What We're Seeing

The pattern we see

You're a Christian owner or senior leader. The business is doing well. The leadership team is capable. These are not crisis conditions. They are the conditions of a healthy firm that has outgrown its leadership team's current operating system.

And yet:

  • Meetings produce decisions, but not commitment
  • The owner is still the integration point — when you step out, things slow down
  • People are technically competent but functionally siloed
  • Your firm's faith identity is on the website and in the founding story, but not in the room
  • You sense you can't develop the next generation of leadership until something underneath shifts

Within the four-relationships frame: the relationships among the people you lead are the one with the biggest gap.

The Starting Point

Start with a Discovery Engagement

A 3–4 week structured engagement that gives both of us a clear, honest read on your leadership team and a concrete recommendation for next steps.

Week

One

  • 60-minute conversation with the owner or senior leader to surface what you're seeing, what you've tried, and what you're hoping for
  • Schedule individual 30-minute interviews with each member of the leadership team (typically 4–8 people)

Week

Two & Three

  • 30-minute confidential interview with each leader
  • Each team member completes the SALVES assessment to identify the core drivers underneath what each leader is optimizing for
  • If we continue together after Discovery, ongoing work adds MBTI Step II, EQ-i 2.0, and CliftonStrengths 34 — and the Team Read is updated accordingly

Week

Four

  • Written Team Read delivered to the owner: dynamics, communication, trust, decision-making, faith integration, patterns underneath, concrete recommendations
  • 90-minute leadership team session: we walk the team through the read together and align on next steps
  • You keep the Team Read and the SALVES results

Investment

  • $7,500 for teams up to 6
  • $10,000 for teams of 7–10
  • Custom above that

A note on confidentiality

What each team member shares is held strictly confidential. To make it harder to know who said what, a theme needs to be voiced by at least two members of the team before it appears in the Team Read.

Before You Commit

Sample Team Read available on request

Before you commit, you can review a Sample Team Read — what the written deliverable actually looks like at the end of the 3–4 weeks. Ask during the introductory call and I'll send it confidentially. Request the sample during your intro call.

After Discovery

Ongoing work after Discovery

For firms where deeper work is the right next step:

Team

Leadership team coaching

Monthly or bi-monthly working sessions with the full leadership team.

Individual

Individual coaching

Confidential 1:1 coaching for the owner and senior leaders alongside team work.

Intensive

Quarterly offsites

Full or half-day intensives to go deeper on the work between sessions.

Hiring

Hiring & team-fit consulting

Assessment-based support for key hires to ensure cultural and relational fit.

Formation

CHEW Formation Track

Structured Christian formation customized for your leadership team, moving God's love from head to heart as a team, not just individually.

Engagements typically run 6–18 months. Limited number of firms each year to protect depth.

Are you a good fit

Who we serve

Built for

  • Christian-owned firms in professional services — financial services, law, medical/dental, accounting, consulting
  • Owners who can make the engagement decision directly
  • Management teams that are at least functionally Christian — not just nominally
  • Healthy firms ready to deepen, not firms in crisis

Not the right fit for

  • Major HR or compliance investigations
  • Mixed-faith leadership teams where Christian formation would be imposed
  • Owners looking for a one-time training event rather than relational, multi-month work
