What Makes Axe Different?
We are Multidimensional
There are many great leadership resources out there, most of them are one dimensional – using only one form of communication to interact with you. We use multiple channels of communication & media to inspire and equip you. These tools will meet you where you are, and refuse to leave you there.
we are Continuing
We are constantly growing with new podcasts, episodes, courses, sermons, and your questions answered every month. Books are a great tool, but once they are printed the content becomes locked in ink and paper. Like our universe, Axe is ever expanding. If you’re looking for that, we are sure to be a good fit.
we are listening
Conversation and dialogue are powerful tools for development and learning. We work hard to make sure that there are feedback loops created for a two way street. We can then answer the questions you have. Creating content is one thing, creating with you in mind is the thing. Our biggest inspiration is you!
