Carmen Kampman – My Story
Are you sitting comfortably?
I’m the eldest of three children and I’m sure that’s already conjuring up all kinds of words for you as you think of one or two first-born leaders that you know. Often labelled bossy, what I really was was a leader in the making who had lots to learn. So she did!
After successfully seeing my sixth – you read that right, I had six children! – off to school, I, at the age of 39, went back to school. I successfully completed a Diploma in Christian Studies (2014; Valedictorian and Delta Epsilon Chi) and then went on to do an MA in Leadership and Management (2019; summa cum laude). During this journey, I also pursued ordination with the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada and became Reverend Carmen Kampman (2017).
I’m pursuing a Doctor of Ministry and will begin that journey in the Fall of 2020. In addition to that I read, at minimum, one book a week on leadership or spiritual transformation, regularly attend leadership training seminars or watch training videos, and I’m part of the 5 am Club.
I love to walk, read, spend time with friends & family, and to see Christian women develop their unrealized potential.
Why Work With Me?
That’s a great question and one you should be asking yourself anytime you are considering working with someone! And before I tell you why, let me share with you who my ideal client would be.
My ideal client is a woman who is newer to leadership and who desires to lead others with care and excellence; a woman who recognizes that she needs to self-lead better and more consistently; a woman who knows she needs to add to her leadership toolkit and is willing to work hard at developing new skills; a woman who is looking for a generous mentor, a kind challenger, and a passionate role model. If that’s you, then we should work together because I am all of those things and more!
Regarding organizations, here are my ideal. A faith-based organization looking to inspire and equip their team with foundational leadership principles like communication, team development, mission, vision and value setting. Bible camps looks for a highly competent Bible teacher. Faith-based colleges looking for a quality female professor to teach a Foundations of Leadership or Spiritual Formation class.
