In a world where female leadership continues to evolve across both spiritual and professional landscapes, one visionary stands at the intersection of faith and empowerment. Prophetess Candice Jones, affectionately known as “The Leader’s Coach,” has dedicated over two decades to transforming businesses and ministries through her unique approach to executive leadership coaching. As the upcoming Uplift LeadHERship Summer Summit approaches on May 17th, 2025, her mission to elevate women in leadership takes center stage once again.
Jones’ journey is as impressive as it is inspiring. From her academic foundations with a Bachelor of Science from Liberty University to her Master’s in Organizational Leadership, she has continued to expand her expertise through a doctoral program in Organizational Leadership with a Ministry Track at Southeastern University. Yet as she often reminds her community, “It’s not the education and experience that qualifies me. It’s the anointing.”
This philosophy forms the cornerstone of Regal Strategies, where Jones serves as CEO, and the Uplift LeadHERship Community she founded. Operating under the moniker “The Leader’s Coach,” Jones has created a powerful movement that bridges the gap between spiritual calling and practical leadership development.

“I have a deep, divine mandate to see leaders grow and operate in their gifts and purposes with grace and courage,” Jones explains. Her approach resonates particularly with women navigating the unique challenges of leadership in both ministry and marketplace settings.
The upcoming summit, themed “Legacy: Heal for HER and Heal for HIM,” represents the culmination of Jones’ vision for total empowerment and healing. The one-day event promises to be a transformative experience for attendees, focusing on equipping the called to lead with strength and purpose across all life domains—professional environments, spiritual communities, family settings, and personal development.
What distinguishes the Uplift LeadHERship Summit from typical professional conferences is its holistic approach. The event seamlessly integrates spiritual growth with practical leadership development, creating a unique environment where women and men can address the multifaceted aspects of their leadership identities.
“We’ve designed this summit specifically for women and men who feel called to make an impact but may be struggling with barriers—whether internal or external,” shares Jones. “Our goal is to create a space where healing can occur alongside growth, because we believe that healed leaders lead differently.”
The summit’s programming reflects this integrated philosophy. Attendees can expect uplifting worship sessions designed to renew spiritual foundations, followed by thought-provoking teachings and interactive workshops that translate faith principles into actionable leadership strategies. The holistic wellness component addresses the often-overlooked physical and emotional dimensions of sustainable leadership.
For Jones, who has ministered across regions from Michigan to Georgia and beyond, the summit represents an extension of her broader ministry. Having served as both a minister and prophetess for years, she brings a unique spiritual authority to her coaching practice that resonates deeply with her community of “LeadHERs.”
“What makes Prophetess Candice’s approach different is how she helps us integrate our spiritual calling with practical leadership skills,” shares a past attendee. “She creates a safe space where we can be vulnerable about our challenges while being empowered to overcome them.”
The LeadHERship community Jones has cultivated reflects a diverse group of women—executives, entrepreneurs, ministry leaders, and community activists—all united by their desire to lead with purpose and integrity. The summit serves as both a gathering point for this established community and an entry point for newcomers seeking to connect with like-minded women.
This year’s focus on legacy building comes at a critical time when many leaders are reassessing their impact. “Legacy isn’t just about what we leave behind,” Jones often teaches. “It’s about how intentionally we’re living and leading right now. A healed leader creates healed environments that nurture future generations of leaders.”
The event will be held in East Point, right outside of Atlanta, Georgia, creating an accessible opportunity for individuals across the region to participate. With limited vendor spaces available for women-owned businesses, the summit also supports economic empowerment within the community.
For those considering attendance, Jones offers this invitation: “This summit isn’t just another leadership conference. It’s a divine appointment for those who know they’re called to more—more impact, more purpose, more authentic leadership. If you’re ready to heal what’s holding you back and step fully into your calling, this is your moment.”
As preparations continue for the May 17th gathering, Jones remains focused on her ultimate mission—seeing women transformed not just in their leadership capabilities but in their complete identity as leaders anointed for purpose.

Through the summit and her ongoing work, Prophetess Candice Jones continues to fulfill her divine mandate—helping women leaders reach their full potential while operating in grace, courage, and authentic faith-activated leadership.
