Since September 2002, that single-minded life-focus authenticates the direction she gives as president and CEO of Lead Like Jesus. With a goal to facilitate a transformational experience in the lives of people, Phyllis affirms that Lead Like Jesus is a movement, not another leadership program. Previously, Phyllis served as president of the non-profit National Science Center in Augusta, GA where she led in raising more than $30 million for this highly-acclaimed interactive facility. Phyllis has more than 30 years of business and leadership experience, including financial management, human resource management, public relations, and sales.
