    Testimonials

      Jim Herrington and Trisha Taylor have been guides on my own “Leader’s Journey” for fifteen years and now their podcast is on my “very favorites” list.  I assign episodes to my doctoral students, I re-listen to the podcasts for my own growth, I refer leaders to them for coaching and I have utilized what I have learned from them in my own consulting work.   If there are more trusted guides for the journey that all leaders need to travel, I have yet to meet them.  This work and these friends are a gift to many–and, especially, to me.

      “Any leader who wants to thrive and create a healthy team must understand some basics of Systems Theory. The Leader’s Journey are some of the finest practitioners I know. I refer literally dozens of my clients to them for coaching and consulting; they are simply first class. 

      The coaches at The Leader’s Journey know how to come into any organization, assess it, and then provide very practical guidance toward overall health. I can’t recommend them highly enough.”

      Steve Cuss

      “The Leader’s Journey has been instrumental in the growth and development of our people and of me as a leader. Jim, Trisha, and our friends at the Leader’s Journey have been my coaches for almost 5 years now and have helped me navigate some of the hardest leadership challenges of my career. 

      Jim and Trisha are good friends, leaders, and experts in systems thinking and change management, including the role anxiety plays in those systems. They use an integrity framework that has changed the way I think about what a leader does and what integrity requires of my life—that it’s not only about what we don’t do, but about living into the big calling that God puts on each of our lives. 

      Our organization’s coaches hold up a mirror for us to see ourselves more clearly and create a safe and confidential place to explore the dangerous terrain of leading in today’s culture. 

      Their wisdom and experience validate and refresh our day-to-day experiences and help us show up boldly, courageously, and humbly.

      “Game-changer! No organization, book, conference or resource has had a greater impact on my life and ministry than The Leader’s Journey. Full stop!

      Plenty of organizations promise transformation, but few organizations have researched what transformation requires and then used that knowledge to provide us with insight, tools, coaching and support to achieve transformation. The Leader’s Journey helps leaders apply the best wisdom of scripture, psychology and organizational management to our unique leadership experience. 

      Leadership doesn’t have to come at the expense of your well being or the health of your family. Over the past 13 years, my coaches have helped me integrate my life, marriage, parenting and leadership by leaning into my strengths and strategically taking on my biggest challenges.”

      I find myself referring people to Trisha Taylor, Jim Herrington, and their team at The Leader’s Journey regularly. I’ve witnessed firsthand the effectiveness of their work as coaches, and they’ve become trusted friends in the shared work we do.

      Very rarely do you find a commitment to personal and organizational transformation combined with the resources and expertise to engage both very well. And their teaching and training are masterfully delivered and abundantly resourceful. I’m so grateful for their writing and their work, and I commend them wholeheartedly!

      “Our organization is deeply indebted to Jim and Trisha and the whole team at the Leader’s Journey. They’ve been with us almost every step of the way through a major leadership transition, and God has used their patient, wise, and ultra-smart coaching to help us navigate this change (and many others) calmly, kindly and with a keen eye toward strategy. 

      They are one of the biggest reasons we have done this well. I can’t imagine leading in our context without them!”

      “It has been my joy and privilege to know Trisha Taylor, Jim Herrington, and The Leader’s Journey for more than 20 years. I have experienced their presence and their gifts and learned from them in multiple settings. They are thought leaders in the area of whole-hearted leadership development. They understand how to lead change, particularly in the context of living systems and organizational systems. Their book, The Leaders Journey, is a masterclass in what it means to lead oneself as the foundation for leading change. Their podcasts are always thought-provoking and informative. 

      The Leader’s Journey coaches create a space where an organization’s people can safely share their observations, insights, and experiences. Their facilitation of conversations draws out deep insights. Their work with the leaders empowers those leaders to address the issues that have been identified. 

      As facilitators, Trisha and Jim have served very large organizations, such as denominations, as well as many other types of organizations, as facilitators of challenging conversations. Participants in these conversations report they have felt heard and understood, and they have gained a deeper appreciation for the viewpoints of others. 

      Jim and Trisha have trained a number of people to serve as coaches and they are highly competent coaches in their own right. They listen with curiosity, they explore options in a spirit of openness, they challenge as needed, and through it all they ensure that the person being coached is responsible for their own leadership challenge. 

      The Leader’s Journey’s impact increases as each additional team member brings their own rich personal experience and area of expertise to their work.

      If you’re looking for whole-hearted coaching, expert facilitation, or impactful consulting, I encourage you to reach out to The Leaders Journey.
