Forge Bold, Courageous Leadership to
Flourish in a Challenging, Shifting World

Guiding Faith-Based Leaders Beyond Burnout, Overwhelm, and Stagnation Toward Durable Resilience, Purposeful Impact, and
Inspiring Action

WHO ARE YOU BECOMING?


Become a leader who can easily adapt to change, make key decisions under pressure, and remain unflappably calm
in the chaos of an anxious world. 

With the Conscious Leadership Compass - a unique and powerful coaching model - experience personalized coaching, spiritual direction, and transformative retreats so you can navigate the complexities of leadership with joy, grace, and confidence.

When You Encounter
Modern Challenges in Faith-based Leadership such as...

Disconnection

In an age of increasing loneliness and busyness, genuine spiritual friendships seem harder to forge. Many leaders feel isolated, even in crowded rooms or bustling congregations.

Grow with the Conscious Leadership Compass: A Sacred Partnership with the Holy Spirit to... 

Reconnect Authentically

Become the leader your congregation or organization needs. Grow in self-awareness and self-knowledge with compassionate, authentic, spiritually mature leadership.

Diverse Personalities, One Organization

In a rapidly changing world, bringing a diverse group together under a shared faith becomes increasingly challenging. Different personalities can mean different interpretations, leading to potential discord and leadership stress.

Create Mutual Understanding

Use neuro-based tools that reveal the core of personality types for yourself and the people you lead. Understand your organization's unique personalities, fostering unity in diversity.

Stress and Anxiety

We live in a quick-fix, distracted, anxious society. When the people you lead disagree with each other and with the vision, how do you tone down the stress and bring people together?

Grow Your Leadership Expertise 

Developing your leadership skills and growing in your spiritual journey with the Conscious Leadership Compass will give you the inner strength you need to remain a differentiated, highly effective leader.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." - Proverbs 3:5-6

Spiritual Stagnation

Many yearn for deeper spiritual growth but find themselves trapped in a cycle of stagnation, unable to move beyond their current level of understanding and love of God.

Strengthen Spiritual Growth

Begin a new, transformative spiritual journey. With the Conscious Leadership Compass overcome barriers to spiritual growth and honest and necessary self-care to flourish in life and leadership.

Seeking God in a Secular World

Navigating faith and finding God's presence becomes increasingly challenging in a world that often seems indifferent or even hostile to spiritual pursuits.

Cultivate Calm in a Complex World

In a world that often feels overwhelming, bring calm, clarity, connection, and purpose to your church.

We know that God has a unique and amazing plan for each person and through each person, for each church and organization as well.

But we are often blind to what may be holding us back and blocking us from experiencing the deep love of God that helps us flourish.

The Conscious Leadership Compass is a powerful program to
increase personal self-awareness, enhance interpersonal connections,
and increase your capacity, courage, and confidence in leadership.

We bring neuro-based
self-awareness and growth

About Deborah Owen

After attending church my entire life and doing "all the things" (choirs, youth groups, handbells, Orff instruments, missions, Bible studies, church plays, etc., etc...), I felt like there was still something missing. I was spiritually thirsty.


That all changed a few years ago when one person began to disciple me one-on-one, teaching me about the transformative love of God. That kind of personal interest, combined with my own curiosity and desire to know and love God more, caused me to follow an entirely new direction in my life. I earned certifications in spiritual formation, spiritual direction, multiple coaching modalities, including the Enneagram, and I am currently pursuing a Doctor of Leadership degree through Portland Seminary (Oregon).


Accepting God's invitation to join him on this journey led to new discoveries about myself through the Enneagram. Then came a commitment to follow God's call to share Integrated Discipleship through Inside Out Ministries with tens of thousands of other "church-attenders" who are also spiritually thirsty.


I'm excited to work with you on your personal, professional, and spiritual journey. Let's talk so we can get started!

In a time when personal connections can feel fleeting, we always need deeper spiritual connection. 

The Conscious Leadership Compass program offers a bridge – a way to deeply understand the individual spiritual needs of those whom you lead.

As church members grow in self-awareness and self-knowledge their discipleship journey becomes a transformative experience.

The role of a leader extends beyond directives. It's about empathetically nurturing, guiding, and understanding.

FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE NEURO-BASED ENNEAGRAM

As a leader your invitation is to follow Jesus and walk with the Holy Spirit in loving God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength... and your neighbor as yourself. To do this effectively, you also need to grow in self-knowledge.

That's where both Integrated Discipleship and the Neuro-based Enneagram come in, through the Conscious Leadership Compass.

Now you can know Jesus more clearly, love Jesus more dearly, and follow Jesus more nearly.

It's time to discover that God is already with you, right now and in every moment, with love so great, you can't even imagine it (Eph. 3:14-21).

It's time to discover your true leadership potential.

    Instead, explore how, in Christ, you are enough, you are appreciated, you are loved, you are unique, you are good, you are safe, you are fully equipped for life, and you are powerful in your authentic self!

    Discover your purpose... so you can flourish!

    -- 86% of Americans (6 out of 7 adults) believe there is a universal, shared purpose of human life, and 2 out of every 3 (66%) believes they have a "unique, God-given calling or purpose."

    -- Yet fewer than 20% of the 71% who consider themselves to be Christians adopt the biblical view that our purpose is to know, love, and serve God.

    According to a Cultural Research Study at Arizona Christian University

    “The disconnect is staggering. As a nation we yearn for purpose and calling... Americans hold on to these basic biblical ideas of what makes human existence meaningful, yet, at the same time, we refuse to recognize reliance on God or His existence when talking about human success or purpose.”
