Meet the Coaches

Cornelius and Heather Lindsey are accomplished authors, speakers, ministry leaders, conference/retreat hosts and entrepreneurs. After serving in full-time ministry for than a decade, they both stepped away to pursue other passions.

They have endured the highs and lows of ministry. They’ve spoken around the world, hosted marriage and single retreats, hosted men’s and women’s conferences, and so much more. With a depth of wisdom and a lot of practicality, they are sure to walk alongside you and your family towards your next season.

Although they are still very much involved in ministerial pursuits, they spend most of their time coaching others how to succeed in the marketplace, primarily financial services. They’re both big believers in multiple streams of income, financial independence, and proper soul care.

They have been married for 15 years, and they have 3 amazing children—Logan, Taylor and Roman. They currently reside in the quiet suburbs of Southern California.
