Testimonials

Jason leads with rare clarity, integrity, and intentionality. Through Convene, he has helped me become a better steward — of my business, my leadership, and my life — by consistently pointing us back to truth, wisdom, and principled decision-making. His influence goes far beyond business growth; it shapes the kind of leaders, parents, and people we are becoming.

James Koralek
Founder & CEO, Veritas Court Reporting

I have thoroughly enjoyed my Convene group and make it a priority each month to attend and participate. Every month I leave with useful and timely information to apply to my company. I had other options for my leadership development, but highly value Convene’s faith-based approach.

Robert Furno, MD, MPH, MBA, FACEP
Chief Medical Officer, Community Care Plan

The Convene group has been professionally and personally life-changing for me. Professionally, the network, counsel provided, and relationships gained have far exceeded expectations. Personally, the opportunity to strengthen my faith through biblical wisdom that can be applied in my professional life has made me a better person — and I have Convene and Dr. Rachels to thank. Dr. Rachels’ leadership of this team is second to none, keeping each session interactive, new, and exciting. He is a great leader, excellent steward, and a perfect chairman for CT99.

Tim McMahon
Take2 Consulting

The Convene team has been an incredible place for growth not only professionally but also spiritually. To have a group of business owners from all different perspectives weigh in on my company and life to help shape my thinking on future strategies has been invaluable. Dr. Rachels does a great job at leading our Convene group. He has a great feel for keeping us on track in the learning material but also is flexible enough to let us deep dive on current issues that may be affecting a group member. With this, we have been highly effective at helping and learning from one another.
