Rev. Dr. Sam Stone
Teaching Elder · Executive Coach · Author
You are not broken. You are burdened.
And the difference changes everything.
A life at the intersection of ancient wisdom and modern leadership
I have served as a Teaching Elder in the Presbyterian Church (USA) since 1996, and hold a Doctor of Ministry degree with a concentration in 21st Century Leadership. I am a certified John Maxwell leadership coach, past president of my local Rotary Club, fluent in English, Chinese, and Burmese, and the author of The Providence Playbook: An Executive's Freedom from Burning Out to Burning Bright.
My work bridges the ancient wisdom of Scripture and Taoist philosophy with the practical demands of executive leadership — guiding exhausted C-suite leaders from burning out to burning bright through the dimension that sustains everything else: Spiritual Fitness.
