There's someone on your team right now.

Maybe they're consistently missing the mark in ways everyone else has already noticed. Maybe they've slowly drifted from the role you hired them for. Maybe they're technically doing the job but quietly draining the energy of everyone around them.

You know a conversation needs to happen. You've known for a while.

But something keeps stopping you.

✓ You don't want to damage the relationship or make things awkward.

✓ You've tried before, and it didn't land or nothing changed.

✓ You're not sure how to say it without it turning into conflict.

✓ Or honestly, you don't have a plan, and winging it hasn't worked.

So you wait. You hope the problem resolves itself.

It doesn't. It compounds.

The conversation you've been avoiding is one of the most important things you can do for that person, and for your team. You just need to know how to have it.

Most leaders avoid hard conversations for one of two reasons.

One: they're afraid of conflict. They don't want to damage a relationship or be seen as the bad guy. So they convince themselves the situation isn't that bad, until it is.

Two: they don't have a process. They've tried winging it and it went sideways. So now they avoid it altogether, hoping time will fix what a conversation could.

And if your faith shapes how you lead, there's often a quieter third: we confuse kindness with avoidance. But love tells the truth. The best conversations hold grace and truth in the same breath.

None of those make you a bad leader. They make you human.

Here's what great leaders understand

An aligning conversation isn't about confrontation. It's about investment. When you do it well, people don't walk away feeling corrected. They walk away feeling developed.

That's exactly what this course teaches you to do.

Introducing

The Aligning Conversations Course

A step-by-step system for leaders who need to have hard conversations and want to have them with clarity, confidence, and genuine care.

I've spent nearly 30 years leading teams and coaching leaders in ministry and in business. This course gives you the five-step framework I use for every difficult conversation.

Not just this one. Every one.

Whether it's a chronic performance issue, a pattern of behavior that's affecting your team, a heart that's drifted from the mission, or something small you want to address before it becomes something big, the framework gives you a clear, repeatable way to handle it well.

Seven coaching videos. A complete workbook. Done-for-you templates. Real-world examples. Everything you need to go from dreading the meeting to walking out of it knowing you did right by everyone in the room.

The framework

Five steps. Every conversation.

01 Celebrate

Before you say anything hard, you start by saying something genuinely true and good. It isn't a manipulation tactic. It's the relational foundation that decides whether your team member hears what comes next or shuts down. Leaders who start here get a completely different conversation than leaders who lead with the problem.

02 Align

This is the heart of the conversation, and the part most leaders get wrong. You'll learn to name exactly what isn't working, set clear and concrete expectations, understand your team member's perspective, and give them a specific path forward. No vague feedback. No compliment sandwiches. Just clarity that moves things forward.

03 Equip

The most commonly skipped step, and the one that decides whether anything actually changes. You can't hold someone to a higher standard without helping them get there. Here you commit to real support: resources, time, tools, or simply asking what they actually need from you.

04 Encourage

The words most leaders forget to say: "I believe in you." Reaffirming their value and your confidence in them doesn't soften the message. It seals it. This is what turns a corrective conversation into a development conversation, and it's what people remember.

05 Follow up

A conversation is only as good as what happens next. You'll leave with a specific plan: when to check in, what to look for, what to say, and how to know whether alignment is really happening. Most leaders have the conversation and let it fade. This is what makes it stick.

What's inside

Everything you need, in one place.

7 coaching videos

I walk you through every step: how to prepare, how to deliver the conversation in real time, and how to handle what comes up in the room.

Complete workbook

A step-by-step guide you work through alongside the videos.

5 brainstorm worksheets

One for each step of the framework, built to reuse for every conversation, not just this one.

Manuscript template

Write your conversation out word for word, so you're never fumbling for what to say when it matters most.

QuickStart sheet

Once the framework is in your muscle memory, plan any future conversation in minutes.

Checklist + 2 sample conversations

A prep and delivery checklist for every conversation, plus two complete real-world examples from start to finish.

Everything you need to go from "I know I need to have that conversation" to "I'm glad I did."

This is for you if

✓ You lead a team, and there's someone on it you've been avoiding a hard conversation with

✓ You've tried to address performance issues before, and it went sideways or nothing changed

✓ You want to be known as a leader who develops people, not just one who manages problems

✓ You care deeply about the people you lead and want to do right by them, even when it's uncomfortable

✓ You're tired of hoping the situation will resolve itself

It's not for you if

✕ You want a script that lets you skip real accountability. This framework requires honesty, preparation, and genuine care for the person you're leading.

✕ You're looking for an instant fix. This is a skill, and like every skill worth having, it gets sharper the more you use it.

One last thing.

Think about the person on your team you've been meaning to talk to. Now think about what it's costing your team every week that conversation doesn't happen: morale, momentum, and your own mental energy.

One conversation, done well, can change the entire trajectory of someone's performance, and of your relationship with them.

This course teaches you how to have it.
