Upside-Down Leadership
Leading by Lifting others UP

This workshop demonstrates the impact of a leadership ethos that builds empowered teams, equips them for release and then stays out of the spotlight to really let the team lead. It's a leadership model of inspiration and multiplication.

Denise has spent 20 years building teams of leaders, and connecting people to roles that match their gifting. This relational, less leader centric approach has always yielded growth in numbers and people. It truly allows you to lead by lifting others up.

What Matters Most

The work God does in our hearts is not a one and done effort, but a continual process of renovation that dares us to trust his love for purpose and renewal. 

You're Welcome

Welcome is a powerful experience. It transforms misunderstanding and prejudice. It paves a way for relationship and redemption.
