About Me
Chuck Coker, the founder of LifeThrive Performance Systems, has dedicated his life to transforming faith-based organizations into thriving, engaged communities. Having seen firsthand the struggles these organizations face, including the alarming average turnover rate of 70% within five years, Chuck understood the urgent need for a solution. Frustrated leaders, grappling with constant staff changes and the loss of good employees, desperately want their teams to feel valued and committed to the mission.
From the moment he founded LifeThrive in 1993, Chuck has made it his mission to empower organizations through emotional intelligence (EI) training. He knows that people are drawn to a vision that resonates with their values—something bigger than themselves. By equipping leaders with EI skills, he helps them create environments where employees can thrive, leading to higher engagement and retention.
With a distinguished background as VP of an American Stock Exchange Company, Coker also adds the SPHR certification, a DMin, and a PhD in Religion, making his expertise unparalleled. He has received numerous honorary doctorates and is recognized as a leader in his field. His years of experience have shown that investing in emotional intelligence training can lead to a significant increase in productivity—30-40% on average—and higher profitability for organizations.
Chuck’s journey is not just a career; it’s a calling. He understands the profound impact that emotionally intelligent leadership can have on a community. When employees feel valued and engaged, the rewards are substantial: a notable 20% increase in employee engagement and a staggering 87% reduction in turnover rates in faith-based organizations.
With Chuck’s EI training programs, faith-based organizations can not only hold onto their valuable team members, but also build a resilient workplace where everyone can flourish. If you’re ready to transform your organization and build a more engaged community, take the first step by completing a needs analysis and scheduling a virtual meeting with Chuck today!
