THE CARE MODEL
Our Unique Approach to Leadership Development
The On the Rock Leadership philosophy is shaped by the CARE Model, a framework designed to cultivate transformational leaders. Every workshop, coaching session, and leadership pathway is built on these four pillars:
C – Character
Leadership starts with integrity, honesty, and trustworthiness.
A leader’s influence is only as strong as their moral foundation. We teach leaders to stand firm in their values, make ethical decisions, and lead by example.
A – Attitude
Your mindset determines the culture you create.
Great leaders cultivate a resilient, forward-thinking, and faith-driven attitude that inspires and uplifts those around them. We help leaders develop a strong mental framework that enables them to lead with confidence, courage, and clarity.
R – Relationships
Leadership is about people, not just results.
Strong leadership is built on trust, communication, and collaboration. We guide leaders in developing meaningful connections that foster teamwork, unity, and a shared vision.
E – Excellence
Never settle for mediocrity, great leaders strive for more.
Excellence isn’t about perfection; it’s about continuous growth and a commitment to becoming better every day. We help leaders develop habits, skills, and strategies that lead to long-term success and lasting impact.
At On the Rock Leadership, the CARE Model is woven into everything we do, from one-on-one coaching to corporate leadership training. We don’t just teach leadership; we equip and empower leaders to live it out boldly and authentically. Are you ready to build your leadership on a firm foundation?
