A Transformative 6 Month
Faith-Driven Leadership Journey
for Christian marketplace leaders ready to break free from the norm and pursue their God-given purpose
Feeling the pressure of career, family, and faith all moving at once? You’re not alone. Many leaders power through, chasing success while quietly draining their energy and purpose. By your 40s, the strengths that once propelled you can become blind spots—unless you stop to realign.
Compass 2025 is that pause.
It’s a guided journey to step off the treadmill, reflect deeply, and reconnect with what matters most. Leadership development isn’t just a program—it’s personal.
Compass blends faith, leadership, and mentorship to help you become the leader God designed you to be. It’s more than growth—it’s transformation. With a trusted guide and a community of peers,
you’ll chart a path toward purpose, values, and courageous impact.
Life’s too short to live boxed in. It’s time to pursue the bigger story.

“In this era where complexity and rapid change define our world, I am thrilled to collaborate with Craig Sider in creating a unique environment where strategic leaders can refine their problem solving abilities while deepening their wisdom and character.”
Compass 2025 is for high-capacity, faith-driven leaders—typically in their mid-30s to mid-40s—ready for deeper growth and greater impact.
This journey is for you if:
You’re a Christian business leader or entrepreneur seeking to align your work with God’s calling.
You lead in the marketplace and long to integrate your faith more fully—becoming, as Intel’s CEO Pat Gelsinger says,
a “minister in the marketplace.”
You’ve achieved success but crave more clarity, balance, or purpose.
You’re juggling high demands at work and home, and want to thrive without sacrificing your soul or family.
You value wisdom and community, and don’t want to lead in isolation.
Compass 2025 offers space to pause, recalibrate, and step into a more intentional, faith-fueled future.
Compass 2025 combines high-performance coaching and heartfelt mentorship in a flexible, 6-month journey designed for
busy leaders.
Timeline: November 2025 – April 2026
A focused season to recalibrate your leadership and life.
Cohort Community:
Join 12 hand-selected business leaders in a high-trust, intimate group. You’ll build deep connections, challenge one another, and grow together. Space is limited by design to ensure quality engagement.
Interactive Sessions:
Six 75-minute monthly Zoom workshops led by Craig Sider, featuring seasoned Christian CEOs, founders, and executives. Expect dynamic discussions, real-world insight, and actionable strategies.
Personal Mentoring:
Six one-on-one “Thinking Partner” sessions with Craig. These personalized coaching conversations help you cut through noise, gain clarity, and align your leadership with your calling.
Optional In-Person Intensive:
Spend a full day with Craig for deep reflection and strategic planning. Highly recommended—many call it a game-changer.
Whole-Life Focus:
Leadership isn’t just about skills—it’s about soul. You’ll engage in readings, exercises, journaling, and prayer practices designed to strengthen your character and sustain your impact.
As Craig often says:
“Leadership development is personal.” Compass 2025 is here to guide you into lasting clarity, resilience, and purpose.
Compass 2025 explores six core themes essential to thriving as a Christ-centered leader:
God-Sized Vision
Reignite your imagination for what God can do through you. Craft a personal vision aligned with His purpose—not just ambition—and turn it into action.
Kingdom Work in the Marketplace
Your work matters to God. Learn to integrate faith and leadership, becoming the same person at home, in church, and at the office.
Navigating Family & Career Pressures
Balance isn’t a myth. Discover rhythms that help you succeed at work without sacrificing your most important relationships.
Habits for Sustained Leadership
Build a healthy, Spirit-led rhythm through disciplines that fuel lasting growth—mentally, spiritually, and physically. Design your personal “Rule of Life.”
Generosity & Purpose
Shift from success to significance. Explore how generosity and servant leadership infuse your work with lasting meaning and joy.
Legacy & Lifting Others
Leadership is about the people you empower. Learn to multiply your impact through mentoring, legacy, and purpose-driven living.
Throughout the journey, we blend story, scripture, strategy, and reflection. You’ll move from insight to action—growing both head and heart.
By the end of Compass 2025, you’ll walk away with a refined inner compass—anchored in faith, focused on purpose, and equipped for lasting impact.
Clarity on Purpose & Priorities
You’ll know your “why” and align your decisions with your God-given mission, bringing peace, focus, and direction to every area of life.
Personal & Spiritual Renewal
Experience deep soul rest and a revitalized connection with God. You’ll shed fear and doubt, gaining resilience rooted in your identity in Christ.
Sharper Leadership & Stronger Character
Grow in core leadership skills—like vision casting and coaching—while deepening traits like empathy, humility, and integrity. You’ll lead with authenticity and moral authority.
Kingdom Strategy for Impact
Leave with a concrete action plan to bring your faith into your leadership—at work, in your community, and at home. You’ll see your work as worship and leadership as service.
Lifelong Community
Finish Compass with a tight-knit circle of like-minded leaders—a band of brothers for the road ahead. You’ll be part of the inFOCUS family with ongoing support and momentum.
In short: Clarity. Resilience. Impact.
Your true north will be set—and you’ll have the courage to follow it.
At the heart of Compass 2025 is your guide: Craig Sider, founder of inFOCUS Leadership and a seasoned mentor to
high-capacity leaders.
With over 30 years of experience—from church planting in Canada to leading a global leadership network in New York—Craig bridges faith and leadership with depth and clarity. He holds degrees in business, theology, and leadership development, but it’s his heart for people and powerful coaching style that stand out.
Craig is known for asking the right questions—the ones that spark breakthroughs. He challenges you to aim higher, while walking alongside you with empathy, wisdom, and prayer. Past participants often say: “Craig believed in me before I believed in myself.”
He’ll be your coach, mentor, and thinking partner—supporting and stretching you in all the right ways. With Craig, it’s not just about growing as a leader—it’s about becoming who you were created to be.
Craig Sider enjoys helping people, leaders, and organizations pursue more intentional lives. He specializes at calling and equipping leaders and organizations to cut through the distractions and focus on the primary tasks of effective leadership.

not-for-profit and para-church ministry boards. Most recently Craig served as the CEO of a global ministry based in
New York City.
