integrate our Christian faith into the workplace?’ Lifework Leadership addresses
this need by investing in the renewal and transformation of leaders, and
empowers them to lead their businesses, their families and their communities
by Godly principles.”

President Lifework Leadership

Lifework Leadership was established in 1992 to bring vitality to cities by transforming and mobilizing Christian business leaders. It is based in Orlando, Florida.
Lifework was birthed through the vision of former U.S. Senator William Armstrong (CO) who envisioned a nation that could be transformed through leaders who had a clear calling and Christian worldview. Armstrong challenged Ralph D. Veerman, of Veerman & Associates, and Larry Kreider, President of The Gathering USA, Inc., to be founding partners in 1992. The model was then refined with the appointment of Steven French as President in 2000. French brought Lifework’s staff, program, and curriculum to a position that allows its model of leadership transformation to be transferable to other cities. The vision remains clear — “transformed leaders, transform cities.”
The Chairman of Lifework Leadership/Jacksonville’s Board of Advisors, is Randy Drew, CEO of PARC Management.
