  • "Over six months, Derik not only helped with vision, strategy and follow-through, but he also helped me to see the tension and potency of working hard and resting well. Derik brings experience, training, insight, and relatability to my development as a church planter and leader. All of that helps me navigate the intricacies of self-discipline, leadership, and grace. I would highly recommend time and development with him as it is time well-spent personally and professionally. ”

  • "Derik has been an incredible coach to me over the past couple of years that I’ve been working with him directly. His biggest strength is the way he handles accountability. He helps me set realistic goals and plans and holds me to them. We celebrate victories together, and when I fail he is understanding, supportive, and helps me get right back to it. After every session with Derik I find myself engaging in healthy introspective about my work and life. And I’m more motivated to positively impact my team and the people around me."
