Chantell Cooley: Escaping Poverty to Co-Found a University for 100,000 Students

from #12minconvos with Jesus Believers

Chantell Cooley is a marketplace leader, author, and mentor who has spent more than three decades proving that faith and business were never meant to be separate. As Co-Founder of Columbia Southern University and Co-Owner of Columbia Southern Education Group, she helped build one of America's most respected online universities from a single prophetic word into a global institution serving more than 100,000 graduates, all while operating with excellence in the secular marketplace and staying deeply connected to God as her CEO.Today, Chantell equips business leaders, entrepreneurs, and executives to do what she has lived: hear God's voice in real decisions, position themselves with clarity, and build with excellence without separating their calling from their strategy. Her message is direct. What holds most businesses back is rarely the lack of a better plan. It is the lack of clarity on what God is actually saying right now.Chantell is the author of several books, including Stand on the Word, Stand on the Word for Leaders, Beyond the Basics, Winning the Game of Life, Cooley Farm Adventures, Living in the Overflow, and Marketplace Mantles. She is not a pastor and she is not a consultant. She lives in the space between both, bringing prophetic discernment and real marketplace results into one voice, raising a generation of Marketplace Ministers who lead with integrity, build with vision, and advance the Kingdom of God through their business and influence.WEBSITE AND LINKS TO DIRECT LISTENERSWebsite: www.chantellcooley.comInstagram: @‌chantellcooleyYoutube: @‌ChantellCooley
