We don’t need more leaders.
We need better leaders.


Intentional leadership development
for the 21st century

Know Yourself

The first step to leading yourself is to know yourself. Take the free 5 Voices assessment to determine your voice order. This assessment is different from those you’ve taken before. With sticky language and immediate application, you’ll want everyone on your team to learn their voice order.

Lead Yourself

Using the metaphor of the mountain climbing Sherpa guides, we’ll help you climb the leadership mountain using self-paced weekly content and periodic coaching. When you grow into a leader worth following, you’ll be able to multiply what you’ve learned to lead others to the summit, as well.

Hello!

I serve as Executive Pastor at Hillcrest Baptist Church in Pensacola, FL. I have worked with church planters, missionaries and leaders on five different continents from Anchorage, Alaska to Zerbst, Germany. My greatest joy is helping leaders and their teams overcome barriers, frustrations and obstacles to fully experience their best future.

In 2019, I achieved the level of Professional Certified Coach with the International Coaching Federation. I’m also a certified coach with GiANT Worldwide and credentialed in 5 Voices and 100X Leadership. I transitioned to ministry mid-career after 15 years in software development in the financial services sector.

My wife and I have three grown children and six grandchildren.

Entrepreneur

“I was really in a rut without a clear direction when I reached out to Doug. Fast forward to three months later, I am on a clear track in mind, body, spirit, and finances. Doug's experience and guidance definitely helped provide the clarity I needed to get to the next level.”


 

John B.

Engineer

"Doug coached my wife and I for 2-3 years while we were serving a term on the mission field. Our coaching sessions covered all areas ranging from our Christian walks, parenting, team leadership, missions strategy, and living cross-culturally. He is a skilled listener who is able to guide the speaker directly to the root of a need and then help realize tangible next steps to close the gap on reaching goals. Doug truly has the gift of coaching and has a passion to use that gift in helping others. He is caring, personal, and highly professional. I would (and have) recommended Doug to anyone in need of a skilled and practiced coach."

“During our time overseas, we wanted to maximize our effectiveness in our ministry. Working with Doug allowed us to do that. We had the desire and motivation to share the Gospel with lost people. Coaching helped us overcome the challenges that were hindering us to make more of an impact on the kingdom. Doug encouraged us, believed in us, and supported us, and I can’t overstate his value as a coach.”


 
 

David W.

Pastor

“Coaching is one of the most powerful ways I’ve experienced to explore conflicting ideas, solve for complex problems, and pursue personal and professional growth. There is no better coach out there for walking through this process with you than Doug. While our family served on the international mission field, Doug was a steady voice of encouragement to help us transition to a new country, new jobs, and new teams. His clear-headed and sober-minded approach to asking impactful questions about your situation and helping you work through complex problems was life-giving and important to me and my family.”

“Few people understand the weight of leading a ministry - it can be challenging, overwhelming and at times it can even feel isolating. Sadly, even fewer people realize the lasting benefits that come from partnering with a strong ministry coach. Undoubtedly, your ministry calling is difficult but God never intended for you to walk this path alone. After all, ministry should be easy, light and fulfilling. My leadership development has been next-level since I began my coaching relationship with Doug Kimsal and I’m a better leader in my home, with my staff and my entire church. You too can unlock your true God-given potential by partnering with Doug.”
