Leadership Matters Group’s leadership consulting team brings together experienced leadership development professionals and thoughtful client support to help organizations build healthier cultures, stronger teams, and meaningful long-term direction.
Dr. Mike Mowery
Founder & Leadership Consultant
Helping organizations strengthen leadership, build healthier cultures, and create meaningful organizational change.
Dr. Mike Mowery has spent years helping organizations strengthen leadership, improve collaboration, and create cultures where people can flourish.
Before entering leadership consulting full time, Mike served as a pastor for more than twenty years in Washington, Colorado, and Texas. His work today is deeply shaped by those experiences and by his belief that servant leadership creates healthier organizations and stronger communities.
Mike’s doctoral work focused on developing collaborative approaches to strategic planning, which became the foundation for the leadership retreats and strategic facilitation work he now leads for organizations across the country.
He has facilitated hundreds of leadership workshops centered on communication, trust, strategic thinking, organizational culture, and leadership development.
His approach combines thoughtful leadership development with practical application, helping teams move beyond theory and into meaningful organizational change.
