Dr. Garmon connects. His personal style, skillful communication, and scholarly background touch people where learning happens. I have known him for years, respected his leadership, and admired his character. His achievements with People for Care and Learning, and his success in Cambodia underscore the fact that Dr. Garmon practices what he preaches.

Dr. Garmon's inspiring training in Leadership transcends disciplines. His philosophy and practical tools can be applied to all sectors; in the church, in the community, in the non-profit world and in the Fortune 500 Companies. His ability to communicate complex leadership theory into practical, every-day application is extraordinary. I can't say enough!

Former General Overseer
of the Churches of God
I personally know of pastors who implemented new models of working with their churches as a direct result of Dr. Garmon's Leader Labs. And I also personally gained new insights into myself, my style of leadership, and areas that I needed to adjust.
I highly recommend Dr. Garmon to any state overseer as someone who can lift the leadership quotient of ministers.

LeadersLabs had a profound impact on my leadership journey by equipping me with practical tools, fresh perspectives, and a deeper understanding of effective leadership. Through focused training, insightful discussions, and real-world applications, I gained a clearer vision of how to lead myself with purpose, inspire others, and make strategic decisions that will enhance productivity. The program not only improved my skills but also helped me develop a stronger sense of confidence and adaptability in guiding my family, ministry teams and organizations.​

Pastor: Coastal Cathedral, Savannah, GA
In 20+ years of pastoral ministry, I have attended countless conferences and seminars all with the hope and anticipation of being able to obtain something that would help my church and myself move to the next level. I have been encouraged and picked up useful nuggets through the years but nothing was ever that breakthrough thing for me.
​
After each session of Leader labs, there was information that could be immediately applied to me as well as my church staff and leaders. the personality assessments alone have caused us to take a deeper informed look inside of ourselves. We were able to identify some strengths and weaknesses as well as exposing some blind spots. Leader Labs has caused us to begin to take more responsibility for our positions in ministry and to practice self-discipline and self-development.
​
After applying the principles of Leader Labs over the last few months we have already seen distinct measurable improvements in the staff and key leaders of Coastal Cathedral. The quality of our services has improved dramatically. We receive correspondence from our membership on a regular basis commenting in the affirmative on the noticeable change. Even my preaching style has improved, I am more distinct and to the point, staying on task and keeping the main thing the main thing.
​
To wrap it up, Dr. Fred Garmon and Leader Labs gave Coastal Cathedral the bump forward we were looking for to move our ministry to the next level. Leader Labs has given us fundamental leadership training that is easily applied to every aspect of our ministry. Before Leader Labs, I felt as though our church was about 3 years behind where we needed to be and was often discouraged thinking we would never be able to regain lost ground. After Leader Labs, I say with confidence that we are currently ahead of the curve and are effectively leading change.

Thank you, Dr Garmon, I am forever in your debt.​​
