"The Executive Leader cohort and individual coaching with Matt has been one of the best leadership development resources I’ve encountered in a long time. Matt’s leadership experience and coaching have been a huge blessing. It’s been practical, applicable, and I’ve immediately put into practice many of the key learnings. I would highly recommend this leadership coaching experience for any Executive Leader looking for a new season of development."

Serving in the Senior Leadership and Nonprofit division, Monte leverages his 35+ year professional and ministry career to help match churches and nonprofits with high–capacity leaders and coach them to realize their full potential.
He founded Leadership Clarity in 2014 to more fully leverage the breadth and depth of his unique experience to help leaders clarify vision, align strategy and develop people to maximize their team’s effectiveness. Monte serves ministries and nonprofits around the US through his partnerships with THRIVE360 and Intentional Churches. He also works 1:1 with high–capacity leaders to help identify and develop healthy life rhythms both personally and professionally.
Previously Monte served Real Life Christian Church as Executive Pastor from 2006–2021, overseeing the journey from a single–site church gathering hundreds to a sprawling multi–site ministry gathering thousands. He also provided leadership to strategic ministry partners in Central Florida and around the world. Prior to full time ministry, Monte enjoyed a successful executive career primarily in the attractions industry from 1985–2005.
Monte and Helaine live in Central Florida. They have four adult children, one granddaughter and raised two nephews for several years. A lifelong athlete, Monte continues to enjoy playing hockey recreationally. Avid photographers, he and Helaine love just about anything outdoors, traveling, playing games and sharing time with friends.
Matt Wright
For over 20 years, Matt has served in local churches in roles ranging from Worship/Creative Arts Pastor, Executive Pastor, and Lead Pastor. After working in the marketplace, Matt began vocational ministry in church leadership with a natural passion for focusing every effort of the church on the Great Commission with intentional leadership, careful shepherding, and effective strategic planning.
Most recently, Matt served as the Executive Pastor at Willow Creek Community Church in Chicago, IL. Before his role as XP, he launched and was the Lead Pastor for Willow Creek’s South Lake Campus and the Executive Pastor for Willow Creek’s North Shore campus. In addition, he has coached many churches and nonprofits across multiple denominations, both in the US and abroad. These combine to give Matt a broad experience base that he loves to utilize to help individuals and churches find their sweet spot between the way God created them and the work he is calling them to do (Ephesians 2:10). He relishes every opportunity to help build remarkable teams that move churches forward.
Matt brings all this passion, excitement, and experience to his role as Vice President of Slingshot’s Senior Leadership division. This world-class team serves churches across the country in all areas of senior leadership, including Lead Pastors, Executives, Campus Pastors, Teaching Pastors, Discipleship Pastors, and more. Matt and his wife Christa have three (very active) boys and reside in Chicago. They love time together, music, their small group, and complaining about the Chicago weather.
