Hi, I’m Dr. Gregory Woodard

Reaching a place of alignment between your vocation and your mental make-up can be frustrating, exhausting, and confusing.

But that doesn’t have to be your story.

I’ve spent more than two decades working to understand myself and my vocation at the deepest levels.

Turns out, that calling was to coach value-driven leaders build a legacy of extraordinary contribution.

I am an Endorsed Enneagram Leadership Coach, and a 21-year military veteran retired as a Navy Chaplain. I hold a Doctor of Ministry in Leadership Renewal & Coaching from Regent University and most importantly, I am a devoted Christian, husband, and father.

Together, we will discover your true self and what God has for your life purpose and vocation.

So you can step forward into the next chapter of your life boldly, with:

Alignment between who you are and what you do
Boldness in your choice of vocation
Conviction in the deepest part of your being

It's time to take back your life and live out your calling.

Coaching Endorsements

Gain a seasoned approach to life
from a proven leader who knows what it means to strengthen the hearts of people.

“Greg did a very good job of listening and following what was being said. I felt that he appreciated me as an individual and made me feel valuable according to the type I am. I also liked that he listened to what did and what didn’t resonate with me without jumping to some belief that I am in avoidance.”

Position, Company name

R. N., New Hampshire (Type 7)

"Greg provided an empathetic, guided approach during each and every meeting by listening and asking thought-provoking questions. When I asked thoughts in conversations, he was vulnerable and shared his own experiences making me feel that I was not speaking to someone who wanted to be perceived as perfect. I found this to be a critical part of my learning; reminding myself that we are all on this earth trying to find meaning and conviction in who we are no matter our age and experience. After completing multiple sessions with Greg, I can put into words my core fears, desires, weaknesses and longings. This has and will continue to allow me to grow both spiritually and emotionally."

M. M., Toronto (Type 3)

Position, Company name

“I have the tools now to be awake to my weaknesses and address them from a God-centered place. Greg’s coaching has given me tools and insight into my identity in Christ and helped me embrace my gifts and have more compassion for my weaknesses so I can be someone who can offer wisdom and knowledge through my experiences to others.”
