The Leaders Who Thrive Tomorrow Are Training Differently Today.
What is Leadaptive?
Leadaptive is a coaching initiative that equips pastors and senior leaders to navigate change and complexity with clarity, emotional maturity, and spiritual depth. Leadaptive is an eleven-month, cohort-based journey that provides the core framework, tools, and coaching practices to help leaders discern their season and adapt their leadership style accordingly, translating insights into sustainable, wise leadership practice.

Leadaptive is a guided, small-cohort, 11-month journey for senior pastors and leaders.

Leadaptive is a journey of learning, reflection, and practical application across six progressive movements, culminating in a three-day in-person retreat in Spain.

I’m Pastor Glyn Barrett
For nearly twenty-five years, I’ve served as Senior Pastor of !Audacious Church and now as the National Leader of the Assemblies of God in Great Britain. Over that time, I’ve walked with pastors through growth, pressure, transition, and the everyday realities of leading a church.
My passion is helping leaders build clarity, strength, and resilience so they can thrive in every season of ministry. Leadaptive brings together the lessons, practices, and insights I’ve gathered across decades of leading teams and developing pastors — so you can grow with confidence and lead with greater impact.
"Glyn brings together intellectual depth, humility, and practical wisdom in a way few leaders accomplish. His doctoral research demonstrated both scholarly excellence and real-world application, and Leadaptive is a natural extension of that work. I highly recommend it to leaders seeking meaningful and lasting growth."
- Dr. Mario Hood, D.Min.
Lead Pastor, Church on the Living Edge | Project Faculty, Portland Seminary
"What impresses me most about Glyn is that Leadaptive has not been built in a classroom but forged through the realities of leadership itself. Every framework has been tested against the messy, complex challenges leaders actually face. The result is a coaching approach that is practical, trustworthy and genuinely transformative, enabling leaders to grow in clarity, resilience and lasting impact."
- Dr Jason Swan Clarke, Lead Mentor, Portland Seminary.
"Having walked alongside Dr. Glyn Barrett during his doctoral studies at Portland Seminary of George Fox University, I highly commend Leadaptive Coaching. His award-winning doctoral Project provides a brilliant, robustly researched framework that equips modern leaders and organizations to navigate complex seasons with agility and deep spiritual maturity."
- Clifford Berger
Director and assistant professor
