Hi, I'm Jimmy, I've spent more than two decades leading in complex organizations, from multi-site ministries to high-growth businesses.
As a second-chair leader turned executive coach and facilitator, I've learned how to drive influence without chasing titles — and now teach others to do the same.
With a doctorate in strategic leadership and a passion for raising up leaders who inspire trust, I blend research-backed insight with compelling stories that stick.
