School of Authority helps faith-driven leaders upgrade the words they use under pressure—so they earn trust, reinforce standards, and move people to outcomes.
We don’t train managers to “communicate better.” We train them to lead conversations that produce ownership, BELIEFS, and action.
Build a culture of ownership—using words leaders can actually use.
Fewer reminders. More initiative. Feedback becomes development.
Lead tense moments with clarity—so your team moves without drama.
Turn everyday conversations into trust, alignment, and action.
Most organizations don’t have a motivation problem. They have a CONNECTION problem.
Message Problem:
AI can give you all the answers. It can’t give you authority.
AI floods the room with confident words, and social media trains people to measure themselves against a highlight reel—so trust erodes before you even speak. You feel on MUTE and often invisible.
Mission Problem
A mission statement can exist. It can’t create ownership.
Culture doesn’t stay neutral—it defaults to comfort, politics, and lowest-common-denominator standards. The result is slow rot: people protect themselves instead of the mission
BEFORE
Leaders are uninspired managers of tasks. More fireman than leader.
Meetings create motion—but not ownership.
Delegation creates tasks—not outcomes.
Feedback gets delayed until it becomes tension.
Standards drift because they are not engaged.
You often have to repeat yourself
You have to inspect every detail yourself
AFTER
Managers become leaders on a mission who set culture.
They bring solutions, not just problems.
They self-initiate: actions move between meetings.
They feel important to the mission.
They own outcomes as a point of pride.
They speak up early when something is off-track
New leaders rise from within
Avoid Failure: What it costs if nothing changes
TIME:
“You spend leadership hours chasing follow-through. All decisions go through you.”
TALENT:
“Your best people disengage or leave. They are hungry to feel important.”
TRUST:
“People stop believing THEY matter or the work is MAKING A DIFFERENCE”

TYPES OF AUTHORITY
MESSAGE AUTHORITY
When words help people see the problem, the plan, and the next step. Confusion drops and ownership rises because everyone knows what winning looks like.
MISSION AUTHORITY
Mission Authority is the culture you build on purpose—so people choose ownership, not compliance. The work moves forward even when you’re not in the room.
EXECUTIVE PRESENCE
Executive presence is the ability to make people feel confident in you—quickly—because you’re clear, grounded, and decisive.
Teaching environments where you’ll leave with a repeatable structure, ready-to-use power phrases, and practiced reps you can apply immediately in meetings, one-on-ones, and feedback moments.
Small-group cohorts where you refine your language in live scenarios, strengthen your presence under pressure, and install repeatable communication habits that scale across your team and culture.
A two-day private build-and-capture event: Craft your Signature Keynote and Power Principles, film multiple stage deliveries, create 90 days of videos, shoot pro photos, and launch your website.
A plug-and-play communication framework you can use immediately to frame any message with clarity, stakes, and a clear ask—no more rambling or “hope it lands.”
A set of ready-to-use situational scripts for the moments that break trust.
Personal execution plans through group coaching exercises—each participant turns the framework + principles into a practical plan, scripts, and commitments they can implement the next day.
ACCELERATOR COHORTS
Deeper implementation, not just inspiration: we take the same core topics and install them through repeated practice, real scenarios, and weekly “use it at work” assignments—so the tools become habits.
Small-group coaching + live feedback: you get tight reps on your messaging, meetings, and hard conversations, with real-time coaching, rewrites, and role-play so you leave each session sharper.
Accountability that actually sticks: a smaller cohort creates social proof and follow-through—clear commitments, progress check-ins, and momentum you don’t get in a one-off workshop.
