He brought great enthusiasm and skill to a very challenging position and he was someone I could count on in difficult situations. He handles stress with grace and fortitude.

Keith McGee and I became acquainted because of his Christian stance and his unique work experiences. Keith's experience in working in government in various leadership positions has given him a perspective in dealing with not only the complexities of managing people but also in being effective in working through and with outside stakeholders. Additionally Keith's experience at being a Pastor qualifies him at being knowledgeable and effective in dealing with people on a personal level. You will find Keith (as I did) to be warm, attentive, helpful and insightful in helping leaders to lead.

"At last, someone who is a lover of the church offering practical insights for the church. McGee offer a carefully reasoned approach to leadership development. he doesn't just offer the "what", but he'll show your leaders the "how" of what it means to be an effective team member. I highly recommend that all pastors do themselves a favor and invite "Keith McGee."
