Hi, I'm Lionel Church.
My mission is to grow the sustainable marketplace.

getting Perspective
Listen, Learn & Improve
With all of Lionel's services, the approach is listening-driven and the aim of his work with each leader is for them to recognize the strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities in the organization they serve.
Operations Orientation
Operations are the underpinnings of how your organization actually accomplishes the work it sets out to do, and how it delivers a result to your customers. Without getting this right, there is no business. We frame all work in the context of how it will affect the operations of the organization so that improvements stick for the long-term.
Communication First
Communication is paramount to effective operations and successful teamwork. Lionel brings principles of effective communication into all assessments of organizational effectiveness.
Total Benefit
Businesses support and effect employees, the community, society, and the environment. The goal of work with any individual is to look for maximum benefit in organizational decisions.
Ocean Robbins
CEO, Food Revolution Network
"I am Ocean Robbins, CEO and Co-Founder of Food Revolution Network. We help everyone who eats to stand for healthy, ethical, sustainable food for all.
The first key leader in our organization was Lionel Church. He started as our only employee, and went on to guide and assist in all of our hiring and development over the course of 6 years. During that time, Lionel came to serve as COO, and he helped to grow the organization from nothing to a multi 7-figure online community with nearly 20 staff and 500,000+ members.
Lionel has provided tremendous innovation, creativity, systems thinking, and willingness to step into just about every role in order to optimize our success. He helped to grow our team from a "solo-preneurship" to a real, thriving organization, demonstrating leadership with budgets, systems, roles, hiring an outstanding team, and building the infrastructure for us to accomplish our dreams.
This has benefited me and our organization by allowing me to focus ever more of my energies in my zone of genius, enabling us to do more and serve more than I could have ever imagined. I am forever grateful for Lionel's dedication, perseverance, and leadership."
