Hi there. My name is Bernie Anderson and I am a writer and a speaker — and (thanks to this wonderful book by David Epstein) a proud “generalist”.

I’ve spent the majority of my career developing leaders. I was a pastor. I was a missionary. I lived in outer Mongolia and speak fluent Mongolian. I’ve started a business and help others do the same. From curriculum development to church planting to photography and videography to business development. I’ve done some things in my half-century+ of living.

I’ve been blogging since 2003. I started this blog when we moved back to America again in 2014. These are mostly my musings about leadership and creativity, with the occasional post about coffee and international travel and culture.

Like I said, I’m a generalist.

Leadership development is where I’m still spending most of my time these days. My wife (of over 30 years) and I work with international leaders at The Leadership Development Group. I also consult with non-profit and business leaders as a certified consultant with Growability Consulting.

Hit me up at the link below. I’d love to have a conversation with you about ways we might work together for your development and your organization’s growth.
