Founder · Principal Coach
Ken Wootton has spent forty years doing the job he now coaches.
Chairman of Highlands Campus – a church of more than 4,000 members, a P-12 college, and an early learning centre – since 2012. Former CEO of the Christian Outreach Centre national body for fourteen years, during which the organisation grew from $44.8M to $100.5M in revenue, and from $36.5M to $190.1M in assets. Including the creation of a central treasury business unit that provides full serice banking to the organisation.
Chairman of Christian Heritage College and has built a team that has turned the college from lossing millions of dollars into a profitable tertiary insitution.
Senior Pastor of Gateway COC for six years, growing the church from eight members to three hundred. Australia Manager of Cardax, Co-founder of Micken Contracting in the security industry. He has led organisations through significant growth, through disaster recovery, and through the kind of season where the leader’s own continuity is the open question.
The coaching practice that became TPDG was, for years, something Ken did informally for other senior leaders who asked. The Positive Difference Group is the formal version of that work.
The firm
TPDG is a firm, not a personal brand.
Ken is the founder and principal coach. As the practice grows, other carefully selected coaches join under the TPDG banner, each tagged to one or more of the four Ps. Every coach inside the firm operates to the same standards: full session capture with client consent, monthly peer review, and a single engagement agreement that protects the client end-to-end.
