Dr. Myers' mission is to equip culture-shaping leaders to understand the times, unleash their God-given gifts, and communicate the truth with confidence.

To accomplish this mission, Dr. Myers has a vision of training one million leadership coaches by the year 2015. These coaches would be equipped to mentor, coach, and teach emerging leaders in worldviews, leadership, and communication, and help place them in positions of strategic kingdom-building influence.

Dr. Myers is implementing this vision through a non-profit organization, Passing the Baton International, that is equipping speakers, coaches, and trainers to assist churches, schools, and businesses in making mentoring a priority.

Dr. Myers speaks to more than 50,000 people each year in corporations, schools, homeschool conferences, parent groups, and youth-serving organizations. Over the past decade Dr. Myers has worked with Colorado-based Summit Ministries to develop cutting-edge leadership experiences in Colorado; Tennessee; North Carolina; and Alberta, Canada.

Dr. Myers is the author of seven books and five video coaching systems including Understanding the Times, the curriculum that introduced worldview training to America's Christian schools, and Secrets of Great Communicators. You can find out more about his ministry at www.passingthebaton.org and Myers Institute.
