I didn't set out to become a pioneer in Leadership Spirituality. This field emerged from my own journey through pastoral burnout and the spiritual breakthrough that followed.

What I discovered changed everything: executive burnout isn't a time management problem—it's a spiritual crisis. Traditional productivity solutions fail because they don't address the soul-level depletion that's at the root of leadership exhaustion.

My doctoral research confirmed what I experienced personally: leaders need more than emotional intelligence (EQ) and intellectual intelligence (IQ). They need Spiritual Intelligence (SQ)—the capacity to access wisdom beyond human understanding and align with divine flow.

The Personal Journey Behind the Research

This work didn't begin in an academic setting—it emerged from my own crisis. The spiritual breakthrough that saved my ministry became the foundation for helping executives discover what I learned: your exhaustion isn't weakness, it's a sacred invitation.
