Townsend Institute at Concordia University Irvine

Good morning TIPS listeners! Don’t miss today’s episode of #TownsendTIPS as Ashlie and Gilbert chat with Ryan Franklin - pastor, executive coach, and Townsend Institute alum dedicated to helping leaders thrive. Get ready to be inspired by Ryan’s incredible journey that began with a calling to ministry at the young age of 16. Throughout his life Ryan has navigated twists and turns, including turning around a failing clinic which led him to write The Christian Leader Blueprint, a guide to leadership transformation rooted in faith. The blueprint Ryan lays out in his book emphasizes the importance of relationships in leadership and balancing performance with building connections through grace, truth, and time. He shares how executive coaching and the Townsend Institute help shaped his approach, specifically highlighting the tool of attunement in connecting with others.
