Vantage Approved Coaches
Equipping Leaders Who Multiply Marketplace Missionaries
Vantage Leadership Initiative equips Christian leaders to serve with greater purpose, influence, and excellence.
One of the ways we extend this mission is through our Vantage Approved Partner Coaches - independent coaches approved to facilitate Leadership Forums for Business Owners and Executives using the Vantage Executive Forum Curriculum.
*These Forums are not operated by Vantage directly.
They are independently led by licensed partners whose programs align with our mission and values.
What Makes a Vantage Approved Coach Unique
Approved Coaches have licensed permission from Vantage to use the
Vantage Executive Forum Curriculum,
a faith-driven, peer-advisory framework designed to help business owners and executives build Christ-centered company cultures and lead with wisdom, stewardship, and purpose.
Features of an Executive Forum:
Trusted, Christ-Centered Counsel:
Join a group of Christian executives who understand the weight of leadership and offer biblically grounded insight.
Confidential Problem-Solving:
Bring real-world challenges to the table and gain diverse, faith-driven perspectives from peers who’ve been there.
Personal & Professional Growth:
Strengthen your leadership without compromising your values, aligning success with Kingdom impact.
Accountability & Encouragement:
Stay focused, encouraged, and spiritually aligned through a trusted circle of executive peers.
Monthly Agenda
Our curriculum provides a Christ-Centered approach to all the major aspects of the company you influence.
Every monthly meeting is facilitated by one of our Vantage Approved Partners and follows a clear agenda.
Member Check In
Each month leaders assess themselves in four key areas: spiritual life, relationships, service (work and personal ministry), and stewardship (health, finances, time). Self-reflection is critical for your growth as a leader. Members also update the group on progress toward their goals, and share personal and professional highlights since the last meeting.
Opportunities & Challenges
Every month leaders discuss current opportunities and challenges they are facing. Most often leaders seek advice on professional issues, but there are times when they bring personal and spiritual topics as well. This part of the meeting has proven to be invaluable as leaders solve problems together, give and get honest feedback, and share personal insights from decades of experience as leaders.
Leadership Development
The final portion of each meeting is devoted to content that helps leaders serve with greater purpose, influence and excellence in their company. We explore all of the major aspects of business leadership, and at times bring in experts to address critical topics. And we go beyond operational excellence to explore ways to align your business with God’s mission in this world.
