Lifetime Consulting is committed to balancing perspectives to create greater effectiveness, efficiency, and excellence. Its mission is to strategically help individuals, teams, and companies run their race and finish well.

As founder of Lifetime Consulting, Preston Gillham, understands that it is not enough to work hard. One must work hard at the right things. And it is not enough to build a business or professional reputation. One must also finish well. Further, Pres understands that great leadership facilitates others doing the right things and finishing well. This understanding is the special talent of Lifetime Consulting.

Preston Gillham founded Lifetime Consulting in response to increasing requests that he assist others with his expertise and network of professional resources. Preston Gillham has been working at home and abroad with individuals, teams, and companies since 1984.

Pres is a collector of wisdom, an intuitive listener, a discerner of talent, a counselor by training, an evaluator of the heart, and a man who enjoys leading others to fulfill their greatest potential. In this he is skilled as a coach.

Pres is not content to simply talk about giftedness and effectiveness, but is personally bent toward the strategic efficiency that is necessary if effectiveness is to become excellence. He is sought after for his strategic thinking, ability to simplify the complex, and his vision to see through the fog and clarify objectives.

Over the years, Pres has led a variety of skilled and high-powered people to manage their giftedness, build careers, and develop their innate abilities to become all that God dreams for them. In addition, Pres has had the opportunity to lead coalitions of people at home and abroad to develop as team players and leverage the power of community to advance toward a common goal effectively. It is Pres' personal style to lead by example, speak simply, and invite others on a journey of personal discovery through his own transparency. Pres is a proven and excellent mentor.

Pres has a long, rich history of working with religious, non profit organizations in the United States and abroad. His understanding of the unique blending of volunteers, personal calling, donor relationships, data base management, interaction with and development of Board members, cultural differences, as well as the communication vehicles essential to non profit effectiveness make him an excellent consultant.

In addition, Pres has studied and taught on spiritual formation for over 30 years. It is his understanding that people cannot hope to be fully productive and fulfilled unless this essential aspect of their lives is developed. While the marketplace is not a pulpit, it will never reach its potential unless those in the workplace reach theirs.

Pres is also blessed to have thriving relationships across the professional spectrum. He brings these people "with him" as additional, outside resources to the privilege of working alongside others and illuminating the Way.
