Like the symbols in our emblem—the horse, tree, compass, and path—our work reflects strength, rootedness, direction, and purposeful movement. We partner with clients to help them navigate uncertainty, strengthen relational leadership, and align life and work with their core values.
Our three synergistic disciplines form the foundation of lasting transformation:
- Transformational Life Coaching: We help our clients cultivate emotional strength, resilience, and clarity of purpose, while holding true to wholeness and well-being. Developed by John Townsend from the Townsend Institute, we use the Growth Tree framework. It’s a visual framework for understanding how to develop life fruit (personal, people, performance) from implementing the four capacities of good character (attachment, separation, integration, adulthood) and utilizing the three life nutrients (grace, time, truth).
- Horse-assisted Learning: We use the wisdom of horses to foster authentic presence, trust, and relational intelligence. Developed from observations of horse herd leadership, we use the Diamond Model of Shared Leadership™ framework by TeachingHorse™.

Guided by our core values of faith, connection, courage, wholeness, and transformational change, Lead The Way Coaching Co. is more than a coaching company—we are a catalyst for meaningful, lasting growth in every dimension of life and leadership.
