"In May of 2016 I joined the Leading Lights training, and it has altered my life in a magnificent way. My relationship with God has grown tremendously, pushing me to live with intention based on His purpose for me. I've since gone from a Home Health Aide making minimum wage to owning my own consulting and coaching business — and now I'm part of the Leading Lights team helping expand the training globally."
"After completing the training in 2014, my life took a turn in less than a year. I became clear about my purpose and suddenly found myself as Program Director of the Life Development Center — fulfilling exactly what I'd written in my vision statement during the training. I cannot help but recommend Leading Lights to everyone; I've experienced the transformation firsthand and seen it in so many others."
"The intensive in 2016 aligned me with God's purpose for my life. Just a year later, I used my platform to bring after-school programming to 4 schools on the south side of Chicago, reaching 600 kids from impoverished neighborhoods. I was also inspired to begin my Ph.D. in leadership — all ideas I cultivated while working on my portfolio from the training."
"The training was one of the highlights of 2017 for me. My faith had been stagnant and fear was always a factor — but from my first day I felt at ease. Through the intensive I discovered the strength, depth, and God-given potential I carried. It was a springboard into a fuller life of prayer, focus, and purpose. I've since begun launching an initiative to help African immigrants detained in American immigration jails."
"The intensive equipped me with the practical tools to start Isubilo (Hope) International, which supports national leaders in Africa as they carry out holistic programs for youth and community. We're now in Zambia and Uganda. The teaching on the 4 Quadrants of Life became my template for creating short- and long-term goals for myself and Isubilo."
"I thought I knew my purpose all these years — until you came. I can't believe I wrote my vision and mission statements in one sitting, when I'd been trying for years."
"Thank you for the mental shift. Leading Lights, you are indeed a treasure to this generation."
"For the first time in my life, I'm doing something meaningful to the fulfilment of my destiny."
"You haven't just taught me how to fish — you've given me the tools to create any water body to fish from. This was more than a seminar; it was life transformation."
