Rodney Combs, Ph.D.
Executive Coach
Rodney Combs, Ph.D., is an executive coach, author, and speaker who partners with high-capacity leaders ready to experience calm in their hustle—and greater success in their calm. A former senior pastor, he brings three decades of experience helping people move beyond pressure, performance, and hidden frustration into lives marked by clarity, alignment, and meaningful impact.
As a Novus Global Executive Coach and Primal Question Certified Coach, Rodney helps clients uncover the unseen narratives and identity-level patterns shaping their leadership, relationships, and decisions. His coaching is both comforting and confronting—grounding leaders in who they are while inviting them into the kind of challenge that leads to meta-performance: clearer thinking, bolder action, and leadership rooted in deep, unshakable confidence.
Clients value Rodney’s thoughtful presence, disarming humor, and ability to ask questions that unlock clarity and forward momentum. They come to him when success isn’t the problem—but something still feels off—and leave with renewed direction, sharper decisions, and the courage to become who they need to be, discovering what they and their teams are truly capable of.
Before joining Novus Global, Lawrence spent nearly two decades as a nonprofit founder and Executive Director, building mission-driven organizations and leading high-performing teams from the ground up. That experience forged his conviction that extraordinary leadership begins with personal transformation and courageous growth.
Lawrence has coached leaders across aerospace, defense, energy, finance, healthcare, sports, and technology, partnering with organizations such as NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the United States Department of Defense, Northrop Grumman, Exelon Corporation, U.S. Bank, the National Football League, and Western University of Health Sciences. Known for his grounded presence and challenging insight, Lawrence creates coaching environments where leaders gain clarity, elevate performance, and unlock lasting change.
He lives in Southern California with his family and remains deeply curious about what becomes possible when leaders expand who they are becoming.
