Sometimes, business decisions are a bit cloudy. Direction isn’t certain. The burden of indecision weighs heavily. Leading can be lonely.

Are you looking to put your business burdens into trustworthy hands?  Are you looking for someone who would  faithfully help shoulder this part of my journey?

Griff's Leadership Process is based on his unique model of developing servant-leadership habits: knowing yourself; controlling yourself; and finally, learning to give – leading by serving.

Wisdom gained from learning from both mistakes and successes has lead to the development of the  Griff Coaching Experience.™





Lindell Model of Developing a Servant-leadership Approach:


Phase 1 – Getting to KNOW YOURSELF
Socrates said:  “The unexamined life is not worth living....Let him that would move the world, first move himself.”
  • Understanding Your Purpose
  • Developing what "ought to be" - your Ethic
  • Worldview - developing a coherent mental model of life
    Phase 2: working on CONTROLLING YOURSELF
    Aristotle said:  “What it lies in our power to do, it lies in our power not to do.....Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening when you'd rather have been talking.”
    • Integration of body, mind, and spirit
    • Proficiencies - developing your natural skills
    • Behaviors - responding to others in positive ways
    Phase 3: Learning to GIVE  YOURSELF
    Jesus said:  “For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve. . .”
    • Influence - developing skills to motivate by serving
    • Passion - sharing your passion to facilitate change
    • Humility - possessing the power of serving others before self
