Prior to joining Lead Like Jesus, Phyllis served for eleven years as President of the National Science Center, Inc., in Augusta GA, a partnership with the United States Army. In this role, she collaborated with top military and government officials.
Phyllis is a sought-after speaker, regularly travelling across the U.S. and around the world to deliver the hope-filled, love inspired, story laden, and deeply personal messages that pour straight from her heart. She has been featured as a keynote speaker for crowds of 5,000-plus – often simulcast to thousands more – sharing the stage with such well-known orators as Ken Blanchard, John Ortberg, Rosey Grier, Erwin McManus, Henry Cloud, Patrick Lencioni, Henry Blackaby and more. Firmly believing “there are no unimportant conversations,” Phyllis also finds great joy communicating in more intimate settings, such as small groups, retreats and oneon- one encounters.
The desire of Phyllis’ heart is to lead individuals into a deeper relationship with Jesus and others, so their lives and the lives they influence will be transformed. Phyllis is a trusted advisor to help others move from where they are to where they could go through the transformative message and power of Jesus.
Phyllis resides in Washington, DC with her husband, Chris Halverson. She enjoys spending time with her children and grandchildren as often as possible, long walks on the beach and dark chocolate.
