“Mike Hawkins has an uncanny ability to crossover from the for-profit to the non-profit, and specifically the church environment. I don’t know of a pastor who couldn’t use Mike’s coaching. After thirty years in ministry to congregations from 300 to over 1,000 in size, he has helped me transform some of the deeply ingrained patterns we all have that hinder our full blossoming as leaders–not to mention his ability to hone basic skills with surprising clarity and ease. From understanding the need for communication frequency and intensity, and precisely what it means, to efficiently organizing my work flow, to more efficient time allocation, to developing key leadership competencies, I have far more traction than ever before. Add to all this Mike’s strong but kind way of confronting with firm care, and his sincere “atta boy” abilities as a coach, and you have a good prescription for the personal change that must precede organizational transformation.”
