“Driving a big agenda for reform and revitalization as the mayor of Fresno for eight years involved daily conflict, competing agendas, and seemingly endless setbacks. I can think of no better person to provide mentoring support for today’s leaders than Paul, and I speak from personal experience. The CLN curriculum and mentoring program represents the best of what Paul and I have learned together about leadership development, faith, identity, and perseverance.”
Ashley Swearengin
former Mayor of Fresno (2009 – 2016)
“Nobody has positively impacted me more than Paul Swearengin. He has a unique way of helping me see my life differently. After spending time with Paul, I walk away with a fresh perspective and vision for approaching challenges – whether they are personal or professional.”
