Converted doctoral pastoral leadership research into a functioning academy model with cohort structure, commerce infrastructure, certification pathways, and commercial growth capacity — built for Pastor Glyn Barrett, National Leader of the Assemblies of God UK.
Academy Commerce
Pastor Glyn Barrett had built one of the most respected leadership track records in UK ministry — doctoral research, national leadership of the Assemblies of God, and a deep understanding of what makes pastoral leaders thrive under pressure. The intellectual and experiential foundation was exceptional.
The gap was everything that comes after credibility: no packaged offer, no cohort model, no enrolment pathway, no commerce infrastructure. The research was bespoke by necessity — and bespoke doesn't scale.
We built the full academy model on Kajabi: the 11-month "Leadership Flex" cohort programme, clear intake and delivery cycles, and a module-based curriculum covering ministry leadership formation, self-awareness, pastoral coaching, and seasonal leadership adaptation. Each module was structured as a blend of video, webinar, and community — not just content delivery.
A free diagnostic — "The Pastoral Leadership Flex Assessment" — was created as a lead-in product: giving prospective cohort members a clear taste of value before committing, and giving Glyn a repeatable inbound pathway that doesn't depend on bespoke conversations to qualify every lead.
Leadaptive Leadership Flex launched with Cohort BETA 26 now active on Kajabi — 17 lessons in the first module alone, with monthly live webinars, a private pastoral community, and a Spain retreat for participants in July 2026. The free assessment creates a repeatable inbound pathway for every future cohort intake.
The academy now operates as a commercial product proportionate to the quality of the research behind it — scalable, repeatable, and no longer dependent on the founder's direct hours for every enrolment.
