In-Person Work for Leaders Who Want Clarity, Not Clichés
If you’re leading a church or organization and things feel harder than they should — unclear priorities, stalled momentum, or teams that aren’t firing together — I help you see what actually matters and build a plan forward in days, not months.
It’s focused, in-person work designed to sharpen how you think, decide, and lead.
You Don’t Need More Ideas.
You Need Better Sight.
Most leaders already have passion, calling, and vision.
What they’re missing is perspective.
When everything feels urgent, complex, or stuck, it’s typically because a few things are misaligned.
That’s where this work comes in.
I spend a few days with you (and your team, if you want) helping you:
-
see what you’re not seeing
-
simplify what’s become complicated
-
and focus energy where it will actually produce fruit
This kind of clarity compounds quickly when it’s done in person.
Almost Every Issue Comes Back to Three Things
After years of working with leaders and teams in different contexts, I’ve found that nearly every challenge — good or bad — traces back to one of three areas:
Definition - What’s unclear, assumed, or never actually been named.
Decisions - What’s being delayed, avoided, or made without enough information.
Discipline - What’s not being consistently executed, protected, or reinforced.
We’ll identify where each of these is limiting you right now and build from there. No generic formulas. No borrowed playbooks. Just clear thinking and intentional action.
What We Do in These Days Together
This is hands-on, in-person work.
We talk about what you want to talk about — nothing is off limits — but almost every visit ends up clarifying the same core areas:
- How momentum actually works in your context
- How leaders are defined, identified, and deployed
- How money, systems, and structure either support or sabotage the mission
You’ll leave with:
- clearer priorities
- fewer competing initiatives
- better questions
- and a realistic plan you can execute
Most leaders feel the difference immediately. The results continue to show up as you apply what we build.
Sample 3-Day Midweek Visit
Nothing is off limits!
We‘ll talk about what you want to talk about. Then I’ll help you build what you want to build.
HOWEVER, almost every consult visit I've done has ended up back at, and building from, these main conversations.
-
Mapping Momentum. Momentum is something you map and steward more than you create. This paradigm shift radically changes your activity and effectiveness in the best ways.
-
Leader Definition, Identification, and Deployment. Commonly referred to as "Leadership Development" but largely falling flat because of vague generalities and generic cliches.
- Giving & Finance. Money is the easiest thing to come by in ministry. Yep, I said it and helped many hit giving records. And it’s not the linchpin variable to success. Money is a tool to leverage, not a source of fruit or fulfillment.
-
Church Planting & Multisite -This may sound funny but these are mostly the same thing. I built campuses for Elevation Church, Online campuses, TV Ministry, and extensions around the world, and coached planters on 5 continents. I'll bring quite a bit of insight about scaling up.
Hey, I'm Swebb.
For over two decades, I’ve worked alongside pastors, church staffs, and leadership teams in a wide range of contexts.
My journey included serving in local church leadership, planting churches, and spending a decade at Elevation Church helping expand beyond Charlotte as the Expansion Pastor.
I’ve worked with leaders on five continents and across churches of every size. That exposure helps me see patterns quickly and tailor the work to your unique situation.
My goal is simple:
to build leaders who build teams who build the Church.
Two Ways to Do This Work
Same depth. Same outcomes. Different setting.
Let’s Build THERE
$8,888
$6600 for a 2-day option
Let’s Build HERE
$5,555
$4,400 for a 2-day option
This isn’t priced by the hour.
It’s priced by impact, focus, and access.
Both options deliver the same outcome.
You’re simply choosing the setting.
If This Resonates, Let’s Talk
You don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out.
If you’re sensing:
-
confusion around priorities
-
friction on your team
-
momentum that feels stalled or scattered
This is usually the right starting point.
The next step is a simple conversation to see if this work makes sense for you and your context.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.
Do you also have coaching packages?
Do you do weekend visits?
Who can I include in the talks?
What are the international details?
Do you preach on Sundays?
