Let's get clear on our life calling so we thrive in all we are and do.

Hi, I'm Trisha Welstad

Founder of The Leadership Center

This is my Story

I have served as the executive director of The Leadership Center, coaching women and men on vocation and leadership since 2012. I received my doctorate in Leadership and Global Perspectives from Portland Seminary in 2020 and have been an ordained pastor and active coach for over fifteen years. Directing the Institute for Pastoral and Congregational Thriving at Portland Seminary, and serving as project faculty for the doctorate in Leadership and Global Perspectives at Portland Seminary are ways I get to support leaders living into the fulfillment of their vocation. My vision for the world is for all people to activate their unique identity and calling, welcoming one another to play and work together in mutually honorable, hospitable and generous ways that create healthy and sustainable relationships with God, self, others, and the planet.
