Dr. Sung comes to this most important leadership work with a background in Shakespeare, a master’s in Divinity, a doctorate in Organizational and Performance Psychology, and is ICF-PCC certified for executive coaching. He naturally blends academic rigor with practical insights. Having dedicated nearly three decades to empowering leaders and fostering organizational health, including years of lecturing Systems Theory to doctoral candidates, he is a thought leader, helping to shape the next generation of leaders.

In 1996, Dr. Sung collaborated with a mentoring organization to write his first mission statement and began his journey to help leaders and their organizations flourish and do good.

Dr. Sung’s approach integrates deep psychological insights with strategic organizational thinking, fostering clarity, growth, and sustainable success. With humor, insight, curiosity, and clarity, he engages directly with his clients, helping them realize profound new self-understanding, access new meaning, purpose, and intrinsic motivation, and be able to lead like never before. By deftly integrating research from diverse disciplines with wisdom and keen observations, he helps clients experience breakthroughs and get unstuck, efficiently and effectively.

His humble, kind, and inquisitive approach identifies false dichotomies and well-defended blind spots that often create leadership and organizational gridlock. Whether it's guiding leaders through personal development or addressing large audiences, Dr. Sung’s mission is to empower individuals and organizations to thrive and be able to offer their highest and best. As an ordained minister-psychologist-coach, Peter’s unique skills are both profound and powerful.

With a Master's in Divinity from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, Dr. Sung emerged as a dynamic church planter, widely recognized for his speaking and leadership prowess. His journey soon led him to mentor and coach other entrepreneurs and leaders, expanding his impact to denominational leadership, assessments, and venture endeavors.

Despite his extensive experience in both spiritual and corporate realms, Peter's dedication to the church has only intensified, especially in these post-pandemic, paradigm-shifting years. His latest book, "The Post-Church Church," explores paradigm shifts for the church and offers insights on how American Christians have new opportunities to practice their faith in an evolving cultural and societal landscape.

When Peter’s father immigrated to the United States to study computer science, Peter's own fascination with understanding human nature and behavior was sparked. This natural curiosity led him on an academic journey through Shakespeare, pre-medicine, theology, and ultimately coaching and psychology.

Peter is a lifelong learner, pursuing knowledge formally and informally. He loves reading, staying active, seeking mastery in any hobby, and enjoying the beauty of the Pacific Northwest where he resides with his family and their loyal doodle, Hobbes.
