Is your organization struggling to keep young people involved?

Do you have willing adults who want to help kids, but have no idea where to start?

Are you struggling to figure out how to engage, attract, retain, or work with Millennial and Gen Z employees?

Have you been trying to hire a young leader, but can’t get the right person?

Do you finally have a new leader in place, and you want to give them the best chance at success?

Are you baffled with how to start ministries and services to kids and teens, and at a loss to know how to make them safe?

Are you trying to bring Millennials and Gen Z into your organization and failing?

Great programs for kids, youth, and younger generations start with intentional leadership training from an expert. And that’s where I come in.

I actively consult for non-profits, churches, schools, and for local government. I’ve been working in non-profit ministry leadership since 2008 and have an international reputation that includes speaking and authoring books on these topics. My master’s degree in organizational leadership includes extensive research on how to engage different generations, specializing in how to recruit, attract, mentor, and empower Millennial and Gen Z leaders.

Additionally, I am a certified QPR Gatekeeper Instructor, trained in QPR’s industry-leading approach to suicide prevention. This is an excellent way for individuals and organizations to help empower their communities to effectively intervene on behalf of suicidal and in-crisis people. I offer QPR training sessions for non-profits, churches, schools, and teams both in person and digitally.

My track record includes consistently growing loyal teams, starting complicated programs from scratch, large-scale event planning, and extensive work in leadership consultation and training. I actively research and present on societal trends.

I’ve taken over 1,500 youth on trips, planned large-scale events for over 100,000 participants, worked with thousands of teens and families, coached hundreds of leaders, spoken all over North America and Canada, authored multiple books, and contributed extensively to resources on engaging and understanding young people, from books and articles to videos, podcasts, and curriculum.

As an educator and advocate for young people, I’ve encountered it all: suicide, assault, self-harm, death, accidents, and just about every other real-world issue you can imagine. I’ve successfully started multiple ministries (averaging 300-400% growth in leadership and participant numbers in each organization), started ongoing partnerships with community organizations, and successfully launched multiple young leaders into healthy careers.

My job is to make the complex more understandable by giving organizations the most practical and helpful tools for the real world. I believe a rising tide floats all boats, and ministries and organizations everywhere are healthier when we can raise up well-trained, well-educated leaders.

My passion is simple: giving other leaders exactly what they need to understand and impact today’s young people. I am available to assist your non-profit, church, or organization through on-site consultations or virtual training and coaching sessions.

Whether your organization is trying to engage volunteers, train up a new leader, or onboard a leadership team, I have the experience and mindset necessary to understand your situation and walk through it with you.
Together, we can help more adults meaningfully connect with young people and create healthier, safer organizations, ministries, and communities.
