We value Strengths-based Collaboration and this value guides us in all of our course development. While Leanne McAlister serves as the chief developer of ZOE courses, there is a whole team that work on it together. THRIVE has been written in collaboration with many others and the ZOE Trainers serve as skilled editors. This collective approach to curriculum development leads to rich, life changing content.

Leanne and her husband Darcy are the instructors of THRIVE. They love to help others understand who they are and what they were created for. Both are ordained ministers with the PAOC. Leanne holds an MA in Ministerial Leadership from Southeastern University and Darcy has an MA in Leadership from Trinity Western University. They are both Certified Leadership Coaches through Essential Impact. Leanne and husband Darcy divide their time between Canada and Asia. Their passion is to develop leaders in Canada and around the world. Darcy and Leanne have three married children and have recently become grandparents.
