On February 20, 2025, Senator Mitch McConnell said, “One of life’s most underappreciated talents is to know when it’s time to move on to life’s next chapter.” Those words have been on my mind as I share some important news about my own journey.
On January 1, 2026, Coaching4Clergy will welcome a new president — Alice Ford, PCC, and United Methodist Clergy.
Leading Coaching4Clergy for the past 25 years has been one of the greatest joys and honors of my life. What began as a dream has grown far beyond what I ever imagined — reaching across five continents, translated into many languages, and impacting thousands of ministry leaders. I will forever be grateful for every person who has been part of this story.
When Alice and I first spoke about this possibility last Spring, I knew almost immediately that she was the right person to lead us forward. Her experience, faith, and passion for empowering ministry leaders make her an ideal choice for this next chapter.
As Alice takes the helm at Coaching4Clergy, I’ll be focusing my energy on Coaching4TodaysLeaders, where I will continue offering coaching, coach training, and coaching supervision to corporations and business leaders.
Thank you for allowing me to serve, to dream, and to grow alongside this incredible community. The future of Coaching4Clergy is bright — and I can’t wait to see where Alice leads it next.
