He helped me to identify frustrations I was experiencing and gave me the knowledge, tools, and insights to capture a clearer vision of where I needed to go in order to help lead our ministry. I appreciated the personal connection, encouragement, and coaching to bring renewed energy and focus to life and ministry.
Really helped to give a clear look into my unique design and to help me find the tools that will enable me to function more strategically as a leader.

Nathan is not just someone who knows about being a better leader, he has been the kind of leader that makes a difference in the organizations he has served. He can say the “hard things” when needed as well as encourage at the right times.
I believe my leadership journey has accelerated significantly in my season with him. I had reached a point of frustration in not knowing the next step in my personal leadership development and he helped me bridge that frustration gap and send me on my way into the next season of my journey.
There is great benefit in having someone walk along side you who truly cares about you and your success. I never felt like just another client. Each session and contact was like connecting with a friend.
The Birkman tool is incredibly accurate and helpful in helping me understand myself. I refer to it often for my own development as well as helping those I lead understand me better.

Nathan has a gift of understanding people and helping them realize their potential. He coaches and guides people into their best job-fit.
He’s uniquely qualified from his church experience, and can read people and understand them.

I can see significant evidence of my personal growth since working with him. For a person who genuinely wants to change and grow, Dr. Baxter is a great coach.
He is a good listener and communicates very directly with a visual approach.
I have gained a clearer understanding of how I can achieve greater results. Each week I take action steps to live within that understanding. I have developed new personal habits that “live out” my values.
He has the wisdom, experience and tools to help you.
Gary Judd, Associate Pastor, Trinity Baptist Church
Jacksonville, FL
He has done a great job of helping me focus on my strengths as a leader and helping me discover areas of weakness. This is unique because his style is one of application, and not simply information.
I am better equipped to lead our organization into a new future as a result of our time together.
Of all the tests I have taken through the years the Birkman has proven to be most valuable in both my work and home life. It is thorough and conclusive. A great tool!

You can trust him. You will become a better leader.
He doesn’t come in with a set agenda. He listens to your specific needs. He understands where you are personally or where your organization is and then brings specific tools and steps to improve and enhance.
I have been to more conferences than I care to admit. One day with Nathan Baxter was more helpful personally and professionally than all of them.
He cares about people and is passionate about leadership. If you want to become a better leader, call him.
Once you realize you are unique and so is your team, Nathan takes the Birkman and shapes an original leadership development plan custom designed for you and/or your team.
It’s amazingly accurate. You will understand how you are wired and what makes your team tick.
