5 Pillars of genuine & effective leadership

Our 5 Pillars of Genuine and Effective Leadership have been honed from not just our own decades of experience working with Kingdom leaders, but also from contemporary industry experts and the millennia of saints who came before us.


We equip women to understand the basic Christian doctrines in a way that enables them to study and teach His Word faithfully and fervently.

We equip women to build daily, weekly, and seasonal patterns that sustain their souls, their families, and their ministries for the long haul.

We equip women to understand, connect with, inform, and compel their audience to real life change.

We equip women to cultivate the relational health and emotional maturity that turns good leaders into trusted ones.

We equip women to use the skill of strategic encouragement to coach themselves and others toward kingdom movement.

"The Go + Tells Gals Leadership Certification Program changed my life."

This program provided me the tools to move forward with clarity and vision. This program reminded me of my why and allowed me to finally walk in freedom knowing that God has good plans for his daughters in Jesus name.

"I am forever grateful to Jess
and her amazing team for making this achievable."

I understood the desires God placed in my heart to serve women, but I didn't have a clear picture of how to start. The Go & Tell Gals licensing program jumpstarted me with steps and a loving community to welcome the dreams God placed in my heart years ago!

"Go + Tell Gals is life changing. It
has been a catalyst to change in my life. "

Their passion for the good of others and the glory of God is evident in everything they do. Because of the GATG team and community, I am now equipped and encouraged to do the same. Thank you, Jess Connelly, for your vision and obedience. Thank you GATG team from the bottom of my heart. To God be the glory!

ready to lead yourself & others

You're already leading in formal and informal ways: In the family, ministry, small business, from Instagram, the board room - everywhere. You prayed for these roles, this calling. You're not ungrateful, but you are wondering when it's going to get serious for everyone as it is for you.

You're longing for people who are running at the level that you're running, who desire depth and growth and mentorship as much as you do. You want peers and mentors, and you're ready for a path forward into deeper leadership.

You know you're called. You feel commissioned. You're ready to have a group of people to run alongside who get it, and to be trained as a whole leader in a way that increases your capacity and impact. More than self-help and a new devotional, you're ready to go all-in on increasing your effectiveness right where you're at.
