Discover yourself. Then build the leader.
Start with the integrated assessment. Then walk the work through our coaching cohort or the self-paced course library.
Map your identity.
Walk the work.
Identity that holds
A stable inner story you can lead from, even under critique.
Clarity under pressure
Pause, see, choose. The skills you wish you'd had at 30.
Leadership mastery
Influence that grows from depth, not from performance.
Four lands. One you.
Each leader inhabits a dominant region. Integration is to walk the unfamiliar terrain.
Leaders the world trusts are the ones who have done the inner work.
Capability without identity creates exhausted performers. We're not making more of those. We're forming leaders who lead from a coherent inner story.

What does Leader Development offer?
Leader Development is a leadership development and coaching practice for pastors and ministry leaders, founded by coach Byron Myers. It offers a free identity assessment, a 90-day one-to-one coaching framework held by video call, and self-paced leadership training courses for leaders across the United States.
What is leader development?
Leader development is the work of growing the person who leads: their self-awareness, identity, character and habits, not only their skills. Leadership training teaches techniques; leader development changes how you think, decide and relate under pressure, so those techniques hold when ministry gets hard.
Do you offer leadership training for pastors and church leaders?
Yes. There are six self-paced online courses at three levels (Foundations, Practitioner and Mastery), a free two-hour Healthy Shame Workshop, two free downloadable toolkits for ministry leaders, and a twelve-seat coaching cohort.
Who is the leadership coaching for?
Pastors, church staff and ministry leaders who are facing burnout, conflict, transition or pressure, and want to lead from a settled identity rather than performance. Byron Myers also coaches marketplace leaders who lead from faith.
