And the challenges are growing daily.
In our work with leaders and teams for more than 20 years, we’ve heard it all…
“We work in a continual state of chaos and stress.”
“I don’t know if we’ll ever accomplish what I know is possible.”
“I’ve been passed over for promotion three times.”
“My team doesn’t respect me – they don’t even like me.”
“My kids no longer speak to me.”
“It never get’s better – we have less and less time to do what really matters.”
“It’s like I don’t even matter – they never listen to my ideas and direction.”
“I’ve not had a raise in 6 years.”
“I’m working harder that ever, yet I’m more overwhelmed than ever before.”
“Last month she left me.”
Sound familiar? Those who don’t make a change, will continue the downward spiral.
I have been fortunate to get to know the Guidestone University coaches in a variety of contexts, including group and one-on-one coaching. Every time I’m with Michael, I walk away with insights that truly add value to my life and work. He’s the real deal. He knows a lot, he cares a lot, and you won’t be disappointed when you invest in yourself by joining Guidestone University.”

Finding time for planning and personal growth can seem impossible. You know you need to continue growing and improving for your life and your work to make an impact in the world. But finding time amid all the chaos at home and the complexity of the office can be downright overwhelming.
No matter how hard you try, nothing ever seems to work the way you want it to. You can never catch up. It gets more difficult to make time for planning, reflection, and personal growth.
So your work became a job, instead of your passion.
Your Life Matters. And Your Work Matters.
Your job isn’t just a job. It’s where you have the opportunity to bring your best to the world.
It’s where your words change lives and your ideas change the marketplace. It’s where you build your legacy, share your message, and live your cause.
There Has to Be a Better Way to Simplify Leading and Accelerate Growth
For more than 20 years, Dr. Michael Nichols has been helping executives, entrepreneurs, leaders, and teams simplify their life, work, and leadership so they can live with more passion, lead with more confidence, and leave a legacy.
He has coached leaders, teams, and organizations all over the US and around the world from Fortune 50 companies to stay-at-home entrepreneurs and has been named Top 100 Leadership Speakers in America by Inc. and Top 100 Executive Coaches in America.
Today, Guidestone clients include CNN, Staples, US Air Force, Boeing, Mercedes-Benz, US Army, Airbus, Chick-Fil-A, Oakley, Federal Aviation Administration, Lululemon, Florida Department of Law Enforcement, and more.
But not long ago, Michael was struggling…
“For years I navigated increasingly complex challenges in my life, in my work, and in my leadership journey – launching new businesses, as a young leader handling conflict with older leaders, being betrayed by the very people I was serving, and grieving painful loss.
I’ve been there – trying to improve in the margins of life.
I stayed up late – and got up early – reading the books, listening to the podcasts, buying the courses.
In fact, all those things only brought more complexity and confusion. I secretly wondered if there was something wrong with me. If I just wasn’t cut out for leadership. If there was some problem deep inside that I’d never be able to conquer. If I should just quit trying and resign myself to going to the office for a paycheck.
What I needed was a simple, proven process and tools that I could work through on my own or with the help of a coach that would help me experience dramatic improvements at home and at work – without compromising my personal life.”
What if I could show you how to break the cycle of chaos, stress, and exhaustion without sacrificing your team, your company, or your personal life?
What if it is possible for you to win at work AND win at life?
We created a stunningly simple, yet powerful platform to help leaders and teams accelerate growth.
Guidestone University is our people development system which helps leaders and team members grow to scale their organization faster than ever.
Designed exclusively for business owners and leaders who want to drive better results, you’ll discover top-tier strategies for growing you, your people, and your business based on our growth model – the 6 recurring phases of simple leadership. You’ll receive the support, accountability, and guidance you need to apply these strategies to your unique context and to share them with your team.
A simple process to follow and 100+ training sessions, videos, guides, and workbooks for every level of leader. Right now, we’re developing three NEW 12-month tracks for you and your team members to follow – more than 3 years of content at your fingertips.

As you follow the action steps for each session, you’ll experience the same dramatic improvements in your life and work that hundreds of leaders and teams all over the world have experienced!
An Experienced Business Mentor for You and Your Team.
It’s always been my belief that you have to first lead yourself well before you can lead others well. Michael does the hard work of simplifying the complexity of leadership into an easy to follow process. Each phase of Guidestone University builds upon the next, which allows you over time to create healthy teams, healthy relationships, and a healthy personal life. It’s holistic leadership training at its finest!

Now is the Time to Get Back on Track
The thing I love most about Guidestone University is that not only is the information that is shared helpful and challenging, it’s also real. The coaches share their stories in a way that is truly authentic. That authenticity helps you know that as a leader, you’re not alone, and that regardless of the struggles you face, there is hope for you. Guidestone University makes a path, that can sometimes be dark and lonely, clear and full of hope. I highly recommend it regardless of where you are on your leadership journey.

I have worked with other coaching firms, but when I was experiencing some incredibly frustrating challenges, I switched to Guidestone University. I had spent many frustrating weeks, months, and years trying to make progress and I can truly say I learned to hate my work. But the training and resources in GU have made my work FUN again! There is so much to discover and it just works! This was money well-spent and now I can use my time looking forward and developing my team instead of solving problems all the time.
