You Lead Because You Care. But Lately, It’s Costing You More Than You’d Like to Admit.
Join a small cohort of mission-driven leaders for 8 weeks of inner work, outer clarity, and spiritual reset, grounded in Positive Intelligence.
Your first step back to clear, grounded leadership begins here.
You lead because you care.
You show up because it matters.
But lately, the pressure is outweighing the purpose.
You’re making decisions, showing up to meetings, maybe even preaching or guiding others, but inside, you're disconnected.
The spark is gone. Your brain is busy but your spirit feels dim. And it’s taking everything you have just to keep up appearances.
You don't want to walk away from the work. You want to find a new way to carry it.
What if your exhaustion isn't a sign of weakness, but an invitation to recalibrate?

Words That Say It All:
“Breakthrough Confidence”
“I finally stopped shrinking in meetings. I feel grounded in my values — and it shows.”
– Marcus, Sr. Project Manager
“I Found My Voice”
“This coaching helped me lead from the front instead of the shadows. My team actually trusts me now.”
– Anita, Operations Director
“The Missing Piece”
“I had the skills but not the identity. Nicholas helped me connect the two — and everything changed.”
– Jason, Marketing Lead
Still Have Questions?
Let’s Clear a Few Things Up.
Q1: Who are our coaching programs designed for?
Nicholas works with mid-level and emerging leaders who are ready to grow — not just in their performance, but in their presence. If you’re navigating new responsibilities, imposter syndrome, team dynamics, or unclear direction, this work is built for you.
Q2: I’ve done leadership training before. How is this different?
Most trainings focus on tactics. Nicholas focuses on transformation. His approach blends emotional intelligence, behavioral psychology, and identity development — creating change that lasts well beyond a worksheet.
Q3: Do I need to be in a corporate role to work with Nicholas?
Not necessarily. While many of his clients are in corporate or professional settings, what matters most is that you’re in a leadership role — formal or informal — and ready to lead with more clarity and confidence.
Q4: What’s the difference between the offers?
Each program is designed to meet you at a different stage of your leadership journey — from self-guided clarity tools to immersive 1:1 mentorship. You’ll find free resources, entry-point assessments, and high-touch coaching experiences. Explore the Services Section to find your best fit.
Q5: Is this therapy? Or coaching?
This is coaching, rooted in the depth of Nicholas’s training in adult education and behavioral psychology. You’ll experience mindset shifts, emotional insight, and leadership strategies — all focused on professional growth, not clinical treatment.
The Core Transformation
Move from emotionally burned-out and spiritually dim → to mentally fit, emotionally grounded, and spiritually confident.
This is for you if:
You're done faking clarity when you feel lost inside
You want spiritual support that honors your faith without preaching at you
You’re ready to strengthen your mind, not just your calendar
You want a cohort of people who understand the weight of leadership and want to carry it differently
Note: Because this is a live cohort with 1:1 support, space is limited to keep the group small, honest, and connected.
Meet Your Guide: Paul Oppedaul
I’m Paul Oppendahl. ACC-certified leadership coach. Ordained pastor since 1995. Grief and end-of-life coaching specialist. PQ-trained mental fitness facilitator.
I created Cruising Speed because I’ve watched too many good leaders fall apart quietly.
They keep smiling. They keep showing up. But inside, they’re drained and directionless.
This isn’t a motivational pep talk. It’s a spiritually rooted framework for building strength that lasts.
I won’t tell you who to be. I’ll walk with you as you remember.
"I learned more about my inner critic in one week of this than I had in 10 years of reading books. It was freeing, humbling, and practical."
— D.C., Pastor
"The weekly calls weren’t heavy. They were grounding. It was the one hour of the week where I could be real and not feel like I had to have all the answers."
— S.R., Director of Outreach
"The PQ app + Paul's guidance = a turning point for my leadership clarity."
— M.J., Nonprofit Leader
This isn’t therapy. It’s leadership renewal.
If you’re tired of carrying the weight of your calling alone, this is your space to recalibrate.
The cohort is forming now. If you’re one of the first 5 to sign up, you’ll also lock in the early bird rate.
Show up as yourself. Lead from your center. It starts here.
