Video Conference Call with Michael Warden

Posted on April 2, 2012

Michael Warden serves business executives, ministry leaders, and pastors as a coach to help them maximize their impact by redesigning their lives around who they really are, what they really value, and the core mission they most want to fulfill in this world.

Recently, Michael walked me through the Leadership Circle Assessment. It was extremely helpful! Michael knows how to extract the best from people. Through a blend of introspective and challenging questions and experiences, he helped me gain personal and ministry momentum. What I hoped to happen was exceeded by what has actually happened within me and in my ministry setting.
