After years of service,
you need to pay increased attention
There are plenty of institutions
that help young leaders begin, but not many specifically created for leaders in the second half of life.

We specialize in the second half. We don't pretend to cover everything in leadership, because we know you already have experience.

But there are matters that emerge after a couple of decades of service that need your attention.

New questions arise. New issues need to be addressed. New and improved ways of leading need to be learned.
Leadership is demanding and takes its toll after years of faithful service. You had better pay attention to what your body is “telling” you.

We’ve seen too many leaders burn out. Don’t go there.

We’ll help you make the shift needed to
refresh and flourish.

You have learned much in your life’s journey so far. You are poised to make your best contribution.

But you can still miss it… Unless you stay humble and continue learning even after decades of experience.

We’ll help you discern your best serve, tailored to you. This will help you leave a legacy, and end well.
Your life will matter.

Some earlier assumptions must be unlearned, ineffective ways discarded to take on a new and improved life. You need to keep learning, for a lifetime. As soon as you stop learning, you flatline. Come join us, a community of lifelong learners committed to not flatlining.

There is a significant shift that needs to happen in your thinking and practice in order to flourish and finish well.

Have you noticed how often leaders fall in the second half of their life?

After decades of hard and faithful service, too many people stumble in the second half. You don't want to be one of those.
But you don’t have to.

To beat that statistic you have to pay fierce attention
to your life and leadership.

You cannot coast to significance.
Your best learning often comes outside your regular environment, from new people you meet, new ideas, new authors. By this time in your life you likely have mined the best from what you already have.
It's time to broaden out, go deeper and higher, to think again, but this time with more insight.

In the Academy you will be introduced to a broader community of new people.

We purposely involve people from various disciplines, allowing cross-pollination with perspectives outside of their regular domain.
We are a team of seasoned leaders who have

been there, done it.

We speak from experience, not just from theory. We understand the journey, we know the challenges.

We will show you the path, help you avoid the pitfalls, and help you successfully reach your destination.

We've helped hundreds of leaders over the past 20 years
get clarity and confidence for the second half of their life.

Don't try it alone.

Save years of frustration.
Find out how to flourish in the second half of your life.

It's not just skill sets, it's your whole life that matters.


Leadership comes from the inside out. Who you are affects your leadership effectiveness.

So we help you with life and leadership.

These resources are created with you in mind so that you can immediately apply it to your own life, or use it for the development of your team.

We have handouts and work pages that go with the Deep Dives, making this a ready-made leadership development tool for you to use.

We are a community of like-minded leaders, intentionally making our lives matter.

We are interactive with our members, and continually adding new content based on your input.

We’ve been helping leaders for 20 years.

Here is what they are saying...

“CREST is, by far, the best leadership training I have ever been involved in. It is not just informational, but transformational. I am changing –
thank God!”

“CREST has been a transforming experience that has expanded me and given me courage and boldness to step into new places. Without the safe, rich, loving community and the investment these people deposited in my life, I would not be who or where I am today. If you are ready for change, take the plunge and watch God do beyond what you could hope or imagine through CREST.”

“Optimal learning occurs when the information and vehicle of delivery are synchronized to create an experience that engages the whole person. It is the systematic melding of information and relationships over time and the spiritual emphasis on life transformation, that distinguishes CREST from mere academics. I can hardly believe how much my life and leadership have been impacted since embarking on the CREST experience.”

“The CREST experience has proven to be a significant component of Compassion Canada’s leadership development process. Having our entire leadership team take this two-year journey together has created a strong synergy among our team. The process of learning together – of being stretched and challenged together -- has impacted us deeply.”
