About Danita Cummins
Faith-Based Leadership Coach for Purpose-Driven Leaders
You were entrusted to lead for a reason—but leadership without clarity can feel overwhelming.
Hi! I’m Danita Cummins, and I help faith-driven leaders grow with confidence, align with their mission, and lead without burnout through faith-based leadership coaching and strategic support.
I’ve spent nearly 30 years leading in high-stakes environments—from global defense operations to boardrooms and nonprofits. I’ve managed billion-dollar portfolios, coached executive teams, and led hundreds of people across eight countries. But the leadership I care most about now? It’s the kind that’s aligned with your values, your vision, and your God-given capacity.
My Journey to Faith-Based Leadership Coaching
Strategy, Service and a Sacred Assignment
I didn’t set out to become a leadership coach.
For over 25 years, I led large-scale programs in defense acquisition, managed complex government contracts, and advised senior leaders on strategic operations. I knew how to build systems. I knew how to lead under pressure. I was “successful”—on paper.
But in my spirit, I was stretched. I was striving. I was slowly burning out.
But my leadership story didn’t start in a boardroom—it started with service.
In the middle of one of the busiest seasons of my career, God began to whisper something different: “This isn’t just about strategy. It’s about surrender.”
That whisper changed everything.
I began to ask better questions. I started leading from a deeper place—one where my faith, my calling, and my leadership were finally aligned.
That’s when faith-based leadership coaching became more than a career move—it became my ministry. A space where I could help other purpose-driven leaders like you step into greater clarity, confidence, and peace.
What I Believe About Leadership
You Are Entrusted to Lead
I’m a proud military veteran, a SOF military spouse, and a mother of four. I learned how to lead in combat zones, conference rooms and on the kitchen floor. I learned through seasons of transition, deployment, and deep personal growth.
And through it all, I’ve discovered something powerful: Leadership isn’t about titles. It’s about trust.
It’s about stewarding the influence God has given you—with courage, integrity, and alignment.
That same conviction led me to found the Alpha Life Pregnancy Center in 2018, where I lead a team that supports women and families facing unplanned pregnancy with compassion and community. I’ve seen firsthand how passion can transform lives—when it’s fueled by faith and guided by clarity.
Still, like many high-capacity leaders, I hit a point where the external success wasn’t matching the internal peace. I knew how to lead others. But I had to re-learn how to lead myself—in a way that honored my values, my calling, and my actual capacity.
That journey led me to create a coaching practice that doesn’t just teach strategy.
It creates space for realignment, renewal, and faith-fueled leadership.
Today, I walk alongside purpose-driven leaders who are navigating growth, pivoting their vision, or simply asking, “Is there a way to lead that doesn’t cost me my peace?”
The answer is yes. And I’d be honored to walk with you as you find it.
A Few Things About Me...
Leadership is personal - and so is your calling.
I didn’t start out as a coach. I spent over two decades in defense, strategy, and government leadership—leading high-stakes programs and managing complex systems. But somewhere along the way, I realized I was leading from pressure instead of peace. God invited me into something deeper: faith-based leadership coaching—where calling meets clarity and strategy serves surrender..
What I Believe
I believe leadership is stewardship. Your role isn’t just about getting things done; it’s about aligning your vision with God’s. Whether you’re building a business, launching a ministry, or scaling a team—you don’t have to do it all, and you definitely don’t have to do it alone.
I believe rest is a leadership strategy. And your calendar should reflect your calling—not just your commitments.
I’m passionate about helping purpose-driven leaders grow in clarity, lead with confidence, and make decisions from peace, not pressure.
