Where Life and Meaning Meet

Writer, Speaker, Guide

Guy Sayles

I’m drawn to the intersections where experiences and  perspectives meet, and I’m intrigued by the discoveries such meetings make possible. There’s so much to learn from the creative tensions between between known and unknown, love and fear, creation and chaos, and self and others.   

At these intersections, I explore how to live, work, and lead faithfully, effectively, and in alignment with our values, ethics, and commitments, so that we treat others and ourselves as beloved children of God.

I bring to these explorations my years as a congregational leader, university professor, consultant to nonprofit and for-profit enterprises, and guide for people in an variety of settings.

A note about my work as a “guide”: depending on what the person I’m working with needs, I offer a combination of coaching, training, and spiritual direction. As a part of my graduate work, I developed a  model of discernment-based consultation on which I’ve continued to draw; worked with established and emerging leaders; and led a variety of ongoing groups focused on integration of professional practice and personal values.
