Discover Who You Are in Christ and Step into Your God-Given Impact
Transform Self-Doubt into Confidence, Discover Your Calling, and Lead with God's Guidance
Have you ever wondered if you were meant for more? That you have unique talents and a burning desire to step up and make a difference, guided by your faith? Yet, perhaps something deep within holds you back – the voice of self-doubt or not knowing where to begin. If these thoughts resonate with you, you're in the right place.
I'm Dara Koenig, a Christian leadership coach, author, and speaker. Even though I am successful in many areas I know what it's like to wrestle with insecurities, to feel lost, and to question my ability to lead. Yet, through a profound understanding of my identity in Christ, I discovered a strength and calling I never thought possible. Now, my mission is to help women like you do the same. Together, we'll unlock the powerful leader within, guided by unwavering faith, and focused on leaving a lasting impact on the world.
The 3 I's of Leadership Framework
Identity
The Foundation of Leadership
As a Christian woman, your identity as a beloved daughter of God is the foundation for everything you do – including how you lead. When you know who you are in Christ, you gain the confidence and clarity you need to step into your calling.
Overcome Self-Doubt: Let's replace the voice of insecurity with the truth of who God says you are - capable, gifted, and worthy.
Discover Your Purpose: Your identity holds the key to unlocking the unique way God wants you to lead and make a difference in this world.
After spending years battling the lie that I wasn't good enough, God transformed my life. When I was filled with His truth about who He created me to be, I finally developed unshakable confidence. My identity was no longer tied to shifting feelings or the words of others, but anchored in the promises of God's Word. That's the kind of confidence I'm here to help you discover.
Integrity
Live Your Values, Inspire Others
As a Christian leader, your integrity is essential. When you live in alignment with your faith, your actions and words become a powerful beacon, inspiring others to follow.
Ethical Decision-Making: Navigating challenging situations can be daunting. Let's develop a framework for making God-honoring choices that align with your values. We'll cover practical strategies and Biblical principles to guide you on your leadership journey.
Influence Through Action: Leadership isn't just about what you say, but how you live. Discover how your actions can inspire, motivate, and earn the trust of those you lead. Together, we'll identify steps to ensure your behavior reflects your faith and has a positive impact on the world.
Integrity is the bridge between identity in Christ and the influence you desire. Once you know who you are, doing the right thing comes naturally. This builds trust – when others see your values in action, they're open to being influenced for good.
Influence
Make a Kingdom Impact
As a Christian woman leader, your influence extends far beyond titles or positions. It's woven into the fabric of your relationships and interactions, shaping the world around you.
Everyday Influence: We all have a sphere of influence, impacting those closest to us – our families, friends, and colleagues. Discover how your daily choices, words of encouragement, and Christ-like actions can inspire others and create a ripple effect of positivity.
Leadership Amplification: Whether you lead a team at work, a small group at church, or simply head your household, your influence takes center stage. We'll equip you with practical tools and strategies to leverage your leadership for good, fostering a spirit of collaboration, service, and excellence.
The question isn't whether you have influence, but how you'll choose to use it. Schedule your free Discovery Call today and let's explore how to turn your influence into a powerful force for God's Kingdom!

Develop Leaders, Not Followers
The Mindset Shift That Multiplies Your Impact
"Develop leaders, not followers and the team will lead itself."
This isn't just a catchy quote.
It's a call to action—for every woman who feels the pressure to carry it all.
Whether you’re leading a team, a project, or your household, the weight of being the glue that holds it together can feel overwhelming. High-achieving women are often celebrated for their ability to manage it all—but quietly, they’re burning out, bottlenecked, and wondering:
"Is it supposed to be this hard?"
It doesn’t have to be.
There’s a better way to lead—one that creates more capacity, not less.
It starts with a shift in mindset:
"True leadership isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about activating the leadership potential in others.
The 3 I’s of Leadership: A Framework That Frees You
At Confident Leading Woman, we teach a Christ-centered framework called the 3 I’s of Leadership:
Identity, Integrity, and Influence.
It’s designed to help you lead with strength, clarity, and alignment—not from striving, but from confidence in who God created you to be.
Here’s how it transforms the way you lead:
Identity: You Are Not the Only Leader in the Room
Too many high-capacity women feel like everything rises and falls on them. But when you help your team connect with their own identity—when you speak life into their gifts and give them room to grow—something powerful happens:
They begin to lead themselves.
You don’t have to micromanage or constantly jump in to fix things. You become the kind of leader who multiplies confidence, not dependency.
Integrity: Leadership Isn't About Perfection, It's About Alignment.
The pressure to always "get it right" can lead women to hide their mistakes or play small. But modeling integrity—leading with honesty, humility, and consistency—creates something rare:
A culture of trust.
When people trust you, they follow your lead. But more importantly? They’re inspired to lead others with the same values.
Influence: You Don't Have to Hustle for Impact
We’ve been told that impact comes from doing more. But real influence is about alignment with your values and vision—and inviting others into that bigger purpose.
When you lead from influence, your impact expands naturally.
You're no longer the one pulling all the weight.
You’ve created a ripple effect of empowered, faith-driven leaders around you.
What Happens When Women Lead Like This?
We stop burning out.
We stop playing small.
We stop trying to prove ourselves.
Instead, we start building teams that thrive.
We create environments where people rise up and take ownership.
We model leadership that reflects the heart of Christ—servant-hearted, purpose-driven, and deeply empowering.
When women lead with identity, integrity, and influence, we don’t just rise.
We elevate everyone around us.
Ready to Lead Differently?
If you're tired of carrying the whole team on your shoulders...
If you’re done with being the only one holding it all together...
If you’re ready to step into leadership that multiplies people—not just results—
Then it’s time to embrace a new way forward.
At Confident Leading Woman, we coach women like you to lead from a place of alignment, purpose, and peace. We’ll help you develop your team, grow your influence, and create a legacy of leadership that lasts.

Client Testimonials
“My relationship with God has been one of trust and intensely personal. At one time, I talked daily, if not hourly with Him in prayer. Life and people got in the way of this relationship. Due to some extremely hurtful actions done towards me at a church, my life fell apart. I always believed in God but the daily communications had gone by the wayside as the hurt continued to echo in my life. Dara has taught me that it’s okay to hurt, but it’s not okay to keep going in the direction I was going. She re-awakened my desire to spend time with God each and every day and to re-establish the relationship I once had. She also encouraged me to include my husband in prayer and in a bible study, which we had not done for years. Her guidance has been essential to help me re-establish what I had lost. God worked behind the scenes by bringing Dara as my coach. Dara has gently guided me to move one step at a time forward in my life. I am still a work in progress but without Dara, I would be holding God at arms distance.“
“I am so excited about painting this new picture of my life, working in my inner self, and becoming the best version of me.
Dara has been a huge support in this amazing way, her empathy, kindness, and patience along with her strong knowledge and dedication, made this journey an amazing experience.”
“My coach not only listens to everything I say she digs into the WHY behind what I am feeling and equips me with the tools to make changes. She doesn’t tell me what to do she empowers me! I am now hopeful and excited about my future. Having Dara as my Coach has been such an amazing experience.”
