Testimonials
"I decided to hire a consultant to invest in myself and my ministry team for several reasons. First, I wanted to work with a coach who had extensive and broad knowledge in what they taught as well as the ability to translate that knowledge into a ministry setting. Second, I wanted an experience where my team and I could take our plans to the next strategic level. Third, I was as interested in learning about what we could STOP doing as a ministry team and the things we needed to START doing. As a result of working with Cornelia and her team, we have implemented a clear strategy that maintains a high standard of care for our congregation while establishing meaningful boundaries for my ministry team, without us burning out! The results that we have received from my team are opening up possibilities for working with Cornelia in other ministry areas in our large membership church. The biggest insight for me has been the fruit that we continue to bear even after our time with Cornelia. We are able to continue to dream and refine our process of working while improving our communication in ways we did not before our time with Cornelia. Any pastor or ministry leader who is seriously committed to reaching the next level God is calling them to would benefit from working with Cornelia. She is spiritually grounded, compassionate, and really cares about your ministry thriving. We have been given keys to the kingdom. With Cornelia's help we are using our tools more effectively!"

"Greetings in the Matchless Name of Jesus! I am elated to share how grateful we are to the Lord for the enormous support that you and your team have provided through the Spiritual Leadership Development Intensive. We prayerfully arrived at the decision to make the financial investment and participate in the training after discovering that innovative tools and a fresh perspective were needed to help us to fulfill the Great Commission. ... Creating our team and discovering where to begin was challenging; however, following your guide helped us to effectively navigate through these preliminary stages. In addition, you encouraged engaging our stakeholders, what a brilliant step! ... We are learning so much! We couldn't be happier with the reinforcement that your training sessions and coaching tools have provided. We are progressing forward with clarity and the beauty of this written plan. Again, thank you so very much. We greatly appreciate the SLDI Team."
Bishop James Chapman

When the opportunity arose for me to work with 3C Consulting through the Spiritual Leadership Development Intensive, I knew it would be well worth the investment. The personal coaching calls have been extremely beneficial in many ways. Personally, I've identified a number of areas that I need to improve on. In particular, learning to maximize my productivity at the right time for me has been huge. For the ministry we have become much more focused and engaged in the vision of the ministry which has increased our ability to serve more effectively and efficiently. The virtual intensives have been incredibly helpful. The ability to listen to the challenges and excitement of other pastors and leaders has been just extremely rewarding. Being able to listen to what others are facing and how they are overcoming those challenges. Cornelia and Ron's knowledge, expertise, and professionalism have been exceptional. Not everyone can work with pastors and hold their own. They have merged knowledge, experience, and skill almost seamlessly in an effort to minister to those who minister and that isi not an easy task. Truthfully, I was a bit concerned about the cost, as it was not in my budget. However, I've learned ifi I can't invest in myself, I should not expect anyone else to invest in me. This investment has been well worth it. I have already seen dividends.

"Cornelia is a high-energy individual who is able to effectively guide clients through the difficult path of self-discovery and actualization. A deep understanding of organizational dynamics, cultural sensitivity, and a broad experience base are combined with "straight talk" to help her clients identify opportunities to achieve their goals and accelerate their success. I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking an executive coach."
