The Short Version

I ask leaders the question they have been avoiding.

Not to corner them but to free them. Most of the people I sit down with are carrying something they have never said out loud at work.

The Longer Version

Faith and business
were never meant
to be separate
conversations.

I grew up watching people who were serious about their faith on Sunday and unsure how any of it applied on Monday. The gap between those two days is where most leaders quietly lose themselves not in a scandal, but in a slow, reasonable series of compromises nobody notices.

The Calista Chana Show exists to close that gap. Every week I sit with entrepreneurs, executives and ministry leaders and we talk about the part of leadership that does not make the highlight reel: the decision that cost something, the fear that ran the calendar for a year, the prayer that changed the strategy.

What I have learned from those conversations is simple and hard. Purpose is not a feeling you wait for. It is a practice you commit to on ordinary days, usually before anyone claps.

So the work I do now hosting, speaking, coaching,  all points at the same thing: helping leaders build something durable without renting out their character to do it.

The Longer Version

Three convictions run underneath everything.

01

Conviction before comfort

The right call and the easy call are rarely the same call. Leadership is mostly the willingness to know the difference out loud

02

Excellence is a form of worship

Doing the work well is not vanity. It is the most honest way to honour what you have been given

03

Legacy outranks applause

Build for the person who inherits this after you. They will not remember the launch. They will live in what you left

You were never meant to play small. Not
in your business, not in your family, not
in the room where the decision gets
made.

Speaking & Coaching

Where this work shows up off the microphone.

I speak to conference audiences, congregations and corporate teams on faith-driven leadership, purpose at work, and building an enduring legacy. The format changes; the through-line does not.

I also coach a small number of leaders directly, founders in a season of rebuilding, executives weighing a decision they cannot un-make, ministry leaders carrying more than they have admitted. That work is deliberately limited, because it only works when it is close.

If you are vetting me for a stage, the fastest way to know whether I am right for your audience is to listen to an episode. The way I ask questions on the show is the way I speak from a platform.
