Hello everyone, I'm Clarence E. Stowers, Jr., the host of The Clarence Stowers Leadership Podcast, a podcast about becoming 1% better every day.
Many of us are overlooked by society. We're not famous, we don't have many followers on social media, and people seem to be constantly judging our work. The question is: do you care? Do you know that God has handpicked you for your life's purpose, and He wants the world to see His light through YOU? It's time to stop worrying about what everyone else thinks and start focusing on who YOU were made to be!
I train/coach highly motivated & creative people to take decisive action to level up in all areas of life and get their most outstanding work in the world. As pastor at the Mars Hill Baptist Church of Chicago, I'm passionate about helping people connect life's dots so they can live abundantly.
I thrive on assisting people, leaders, pastors, and those in ministry think through life, leadership, goals, and strategy. My specialty is organizational and personal leadership, so in addition to my role as a pastor, as I have time, I consult with business, church, and ministry leaders. I also write on personal development, leadership, finance, relationships, inspiration, and motivation.
