Danielle Strickland serves in The Salvation Army as an Officer – currently based in Toronto, Canada. Danielle loves Jesus and she loves people. Her aggressive compassion has loved people firsthand in countries all over the world where she has embraced, served, cared, evangelized, taught, and exhorted individuals and crowds to surrender to the boundless love of Jesus.
She loves the more fragile in communities around the world. Over the years that has led her to back alleys and late night streets to partner with Jesus in rescuing those caught up in drugs and homelessness, prostitution and despair. It has led her to the halls of government and corridors of commercial power to see laws changed and practices transformed so that people aren’t trafficked and children aren’t enslaved.
She has sought to cultivate authentic Christian community in deprived neighborhoods on the way to loving the last, the lost and the least into God’s Kingdom.
Danielle loves the Body of Christ. God is using her to help equip followers of Jesus in discipleship, holiness, justice, and evangelism by teaching, preaching, and writing.
And, Strickland loves her family – redeemed from the clutches of the enemy, generational addiction and violence, she and her husband are bringing up their children in the fear and friendship of the Lord.

The results you are getting from your membership and subscription program are a direct correlation of the strategies and systems you have in place. You’re currently getting what your program is built for.
Scott Whitaker can help you implement the “Seven Systems of a Growing Membership Business.” These seven systems are already at work in your business, whether you realize it or not. Every membership and subscription business has:
1. Content (what, when and how you deliver your membership to members)
2. Assimilation (getting new members to become fully-engaged in your program)
3. Marketing (getting prospects and turning them into members)
4. Retention (keeping members for the long-haul)
5. Ascension (getting members to upgrade their membership)
6. Strategy (constantly evaluating and improving your membership business)
7. Leadership (growing your personal leadership so that your business will grow)
Every activity in your membership and subscription business involves one of these seven systems.
Scott’s strategic mind and use of these seven systems have been growing and building membership businesses regardless of their niche. He is the founder of Why People Quit, Inc. where he coaches membership business owners on how to get new members, reduce churn and increase profits.
He is the author of “Why People Quit Your Membership Program & What You Can Do About It” and an online course “Seven Systems of a Growing Membership Business.”
Scott has led membership organizations in both non-profit and for profit companies since 1997. He’s noted for having built the largest for profit coaching network for pastors of churches; growing from just 72 pastors a year to over 3,000 pastors a year.
Scott and his wife Kelly have been married for over 20 years and have two daughters. They enjoy traveling and experiencing local cuisine.
I coach, train, write and speak on productivity. I help people adopt new ways of working and thinking about their work to replace stress, overwhelm and frustration with success, sanity and satisfaction. I’m naturally disorganised. My passion for productivity began when I got fed up of saying “I haven’t got enough time.” Impatience is what drove me to get good at getting things done. I wasn’t willing to put life on hold so I juggle my business, family, community and social life on a daily basis – and not necessarily in that order. Now I absolutely love helping people live the life they want in the time that they have.
As a qualified coach, NLP practitioner and DiSC trainer, I bring both a psychological and a practical perspective to productivity. My clients tell me I have a knack for helping them untangle their thoughts and get to the heart of what’s getting in their way. My commitment is to leave people feeling better than before. For some it’s about becoming calmer, more at ease, and in control. For others the aim is to get fired up, focused and ready to take action. Whatever your productivity goal, we’ll work together to develop the insights, skills and strategies you need to be clear and confident with your way forward.

Revd Doug Williams
The East-end of London has always been seen as the home of some pretty ‘dodgy geezers’, thankfully, Doug Williams is not one of them!
As the Senior Pastor of Emmanuel Christian Centre, a large and thriving inner-city church, Doug has to have a clear head and a heart for challenge.
“All the diversity that our church deals with is a constant source of… creative challenge,” Doug quips, “but I love every minute!” Training at Spurgeon’s College was a major part of his academic preparation for the task, but learning is a lifelong pursuit for this minister.
Local church work is part of the big picture of Christian leadership for Doug as previously he served his denomination, the AOG (Assemblies of God), as part of their overall National Leadership Team. He is also former Superintendent for Greater London region as part of the same denomination.
“I love the opportunity to serve in a wider context that our local church and the national and international invitations are a wonderful opportunity for me, but my heart is never far from home. The local church really is the hope of the world. Our Church seeks to be a safe place for kids, a supportive place for parents, a welcoming place for visitors, an exciting place for teenagers, a friendly place for Senior Citizens and a home for the Community. We believe that, real life is worth celebrating, so we do! With excellent music, passionate and relevant preaching, great social gatherings for food and friendship and all kinds of activity, church has never looked so good….
Doug is a well respected and much sought after Christian motivational speaker, with strong teaching gifts and an apostolic calling to leaders.
He travels widely internationally, to conduct leadership training sessions, church retreats and men's conferences. He is a singer/ songwriter and has played with numerous gospel artistes and singers, and his own band called "Raize". They have also recorded several CD's.
“My musical focus now,” says Doug, “is all about worship that is truly God-centred, and how to find and develop the ‘voice’ of our church in declaring that. Each church I know has a unique blend of people and preferences, seeing how all that gets expressed in worship is an exciting journey.”
Doug is married to Joan and they have four children.
