DSL – Restorative Leadership & Organizational Renewal

“I came to Regent after the Navy to prepare for a role in public service. I had some innovative ideas in me, and Regent helped me tap into them more. I know I want to help and influence others for Christ, perhaps as a diplomat working for the U.S. State Department.”
Chad McQueen, MBA, 2015
“I am proud to further Regent University’s conviction of excellence in scholarship, passion for ministry, and devotion to the Word of God.”
Ben Gutierrez, Ph.D., 2004 Organizational Leadership
“Regent's program resonated with me because it's about servant leadership and mentoring and coaching. That is so important. At the end of the day, it's about the legacy you leave behind.”
Kelly Tanner, DSL, 2017 Dental Hygienist
“To the Big Four firm who insisted I'd need to drop out of my Regent doctoral program: I decided not to drop out. I completed my program (4.0 GPA), started my own firm and added multimillion-dollar organizations to my portfolio.”
Marissa Layton, Doctor of Strategic Leadership, 2020 Business Coach
“My mentor has been incredibly generous with her time and support. She helped me develop a professional philosophy that reflects who I hope to be as a leader, and she pointed me toward resources and suggested specific conferences that could be beneficial to my professional growth. She allowed me to workshop my doctoral final project idea with her and challenged me to make a few strategic tweaks so it sits at the intersection of popular press and textbook writing, with the goal of it being something that could be used in both corporate and academic environments. She’s also been deeply supportive on a personal level, praying for me, checking in on me, and caring about me as a whole person. I’m incredibly grateful for her mentorship and truly can’t say enough good things about Dr. Duke. She is such a blessing!”
