Danita Cummins
Faith-Fueled Leadership Coach & Strategic Advisor
Hi, I’m Danita—a faith-fueled leadership coach, strategic advisor, veteran, military spouse and mom of four.
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.
After serving in the U.S. Air Force and leading complex strategy for the Department of Defense, I sensed God calling me to something deeper: helping mission-minded leaders find clarity—not just around what they do, but who they are becoming. That calling led me to launch Cummins Consulting Group, where I now coach and consult with faith-driven founders, nonprofit leaders, and professionals who are ready to grow—but not at the cost of their peace.
My Story
Strategy. Service. Sacred Assignment.
I grew up in the oilfields of Oklahoma but planted my roots in the pine forest of North Carolina.
I’ve spent over 28 years in leadership—shaping strategy in defense, guiding complex teams, and helping organizations grow with clarity and purpose. I’ve worked across eight countries, led $1B portfolios, and advised leaders on everything from acquisitions to transformation.
But my leadership story didn’t start in a boardroom—it started with service.
I’m a proud military veteran, a military spouse, and a mother of four. I’ve learned to lead in combat zones and conference rooms… in 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 serve as a board member for Alpha Life Pregnancy Center, where I support women and families facing crisis with compassion and community. I’ve seen firsthand how purpose 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.

What I'm Doing These Days
These days, you’ll find me coaching 1:1, hosting my Entrusted to Lead cohort, or facilitating strategic planning sessions for teams who want to grow on purpose. My work blends practical tools, proven frameworks, and a deep commitment to helping leaders lead from overflow—not overwork.
When I’m not working, I’m probably enjoying a quiet morning with my journal and coffee, cheering on one of my kids, or deep in a planning session with my husband, Mark.
If you’re feeling the tension between hustle and holy purpose, you’re not alone. And you don’t have to keep carrying it all by yourself. You were entrusted to lead—and I’d love to help you walk that out with clarity and courage.
