Happy Retirement Rick & Dawn

It is with mixed feelings that Lead Like Jesus announces the retirement of our dear President / CEO Rick Pickering and his wife Dawn.

In 2022, after announcing his retirement from a successful professional career, Rick was challenged by Ken Blanchard and Phil Hodges to temporarily postpone his retirement and help refire the Lead Like Jesus ministry post-COVID. After much prayer, he and his wife Dawn accepted the challenge, and in servant leader fashion they chose to not accept a salary from the ministry. 

There have been many highlights the past few years for Rick and Dawn, including a visit to Vietnam and the Philippines for LLJ’s Southeast Asia Summit. Working alongside top leaders in Catholic Seminaries, appearing on the 700 Club of Asia, and helping to craft the Philippines Star newspaper front page article titled “Why ‘Servant Leadership’ Is What the World Needs Right Now,” were phenomenal experiences. 
 
However, the most memorable moments were time invested face-to-face with steadfast people who are looking to lead with the heart, head, hands, and habits of Jesus. In America, Rick has had a first-hand view of how LLJ comes alongside more than thirty-five service minded ministries to help train and develop their leadership teams.
 

All of us at Lead Like Jesus offer our most sincere gratitude for Rick and Dawn investing three of their retirement years in leading this organization.
