Let's stop pretending that winning at work is everything.
Your work is important, but it won't sustain you without an anchored faith, harmony at home, real friendships, and healthy life practices.
Leaders Need Support
The Sycamore Initiative is for Nashville-based, high output leaders and influencers seeking personal health, integrity, and a framework for living all of life from a spiritual foundation. Many worthy cohorts are therapeutic in nature. Others specialize in professional development. Sycamore draws insight from both, but specializes in human development.
Our inaugural program runs from August, 2024 to May, 2025.​
Goals and Benefits
The Sycamore Initiative is a custom program that helps high output leaders and influencers thrive spiritually, emotionally, at home, in friendship and community, and at work. Professional bonds may form organically, but the focus is building honorable, meaningful lives through:
​
-
connection with God and peers who share similar struggles and hopes
-
prioritizing scriptural insight, personal integrity, and the eulogy virtues
-
embracing the humble path of downward mobility
-
leveraging influence to help heal the world’s hurts and promote love
-
an individualized plan for living all of life from a spiritual foundation
Venue, Schedule, and Cost
Participants will gather once monthly at Donald and Betsy Miller’s Green Hills carriage house, 6-9pm on a Tuesday. Each month will feature a core theme with teaching, interviews, life stories, roundtable talks, and mutual support.

Name and Meaning
The name “Sycamore” is inspired by a public figure in the Bible whose job title began with the word “Chief.” Sensing there must be more to life than chasing power and hitting a number, this man embarked on a search for meaning.
Jesus noticed him perched on a sycamore branch above the crowd, alone and unsettled. Jesus called him by name, entered his home, surrounded him with friends, and inspired him to live honorably and meaningfully​.

Resonant books include Man's Search for Meaning, From Strength to Strength, Daring Greatly, The Road to Character, The Second Mountain, Every Good Endeavor, The Voice of the Heart, and The Selfless Way of Christ.
