In all of our programs and services, we help leaders answer a core question about their work and lives: What are we called to do?
Our purpose is to elevate leaders toward new ways of learning, thinking and acting.
Our Story
Paul and his wife, Lisa, sat in their front yard astounded as their bushy, thirty-year-old White Oak tree was transformed. As the tree specialists pruned it into shape, this majestic oak tree took its proper place in the world, as an emblem of strength, beauty and protection. The potential, once housed in that acorn, is now on full display.White Oak Consulting believes that this same principle applies to people. We work with organizations interested in developing the innate potential of their leaders. We provide the right conditions, challenges and tools to develop leaders with integrity, old-fashioned know-how and wisdom.Leaders, trusting of their purpose, are respected and followed. To aid in this maturity is our work. It is our purpose.

From Our Clients
“What I appreciated most about White Oak’s approach was the patience and guidance of the coaches. Paul brought a wealth of knowledge coupled with experience to bring our group from start to finish. He was able to keep us on track and successfully aided in the group reaching our goals. Paul was prepared for each session, and was accessible between sessions.”
