Hi, I’m
Summer Smith Lee

Leadership is not linear. It moves in seasons— and each one demands discernment.


At Purpose Driven Coaching & Consulting, I help high-achieving Christian women discern the season they’re in and lead it well. You may look successful on the outside, but inside you feel stretched thin — questioning whether this pace, this pressure, this pattern is sustainable.


I integrate strategic leadership experience with Spirit-led wisdom, helping high-achieving women lead their season with confidence and alignment.

Seasons of Leadership

Refined by Faith 

For nearly 25 years, my life was marked by achievement, influence, and a relentless drive to excel. I led in demanding environments, built a business from the ground up, and made decisions that shaped people’s futures.

From the outside, it looked like success. Inside, it was becoming unsustainable.

My career began in engineering and project management for a major electric utility — long days, high-stakes decisions, and the weight of often being the only woman in the room. Later, I built a business in financial planning and wealth management, guiding clients through complex transitions while quietly navigating my own.

By every external measure, I was thriving.

But beneath the surface, I was depleted — the kind of depletion achievement cannot resolve. I did not fully grasp how heavy striving had become until my body forced me to confront its cost.

That season reshaped my leadership.

Through it, God met me with grace — not by demanding more effort, but by inviting deeper surrender. He showed me how to let my doing flow from receiving. How to rest without retreating. How to lead from alignment rather than pressure.

In the stillness, I began to understand true success — not more accomplishment, but alignment. Alignment with His rhythm. His wisdom. His pace.

Seasons of Leadership

Refined by Faith

For nearly 25 years, my life was defined by achievement, influence, and a constant drive to keep going. I led in demanding environments, built a business from the ground up, and made decisions that shaped people’s lives and futures.

From the outside, it looked like success. Inside, it often felt like survival.

My career began in engineering and project management for a major electric utility — long days, tight deadlines, and the weight of often being the only woman in the room. Later, I transitioned into financial planning and wealth management, guiding clients through seasons of change while quietly pushing through my own.

By every measure, I was thriving.

But beneath the surface, I was tired — the kind of tired that success can’t satisfy.
I didn’t realize how heavy it had all become until my body began to break under the weight of striving.

That breaking became my becoming.
Through pain, God met me with grace – showing me how to let my doing flow from receiving. He didn’t ask me to work harder; He invited me to rest deeper.

In the stillness, I learned what true success really is — not more achievement, but alignment.
Alignment with His rhythm. His peace. His pace.

“The turning point in my life was trading striving for surrender.”

Out of that surrender came Purpose Driven Coaching & Consulting — and eventually, the GROW Framework™.

Grace. Rest. Obedience. Waiting.

These rhythms were not developed in theory. They were refined through experience and anchored in Scripture. They became the foundation for how I now guide high-achieving women of faith — helping them discern their season, steward it well, and lead from alignment rather than performance.

This work is personal. It shapes how I live, not just what I teach.

I’m married to Jason Lee, a fellow entrepreneur and business owner. Our life together is built on shared faith and the ongoing practice of staying aligned with Jesus — not perfectly, but intentionally. We are still growing. Still learning. Still choosing surrender in the everyday moments.

Our faith isn’t separate from our leadership. It is the foundation beneath it.

My prayer is that you experience that same wholeness — not a polished version of success, but a life anchored in alignment with God.

Leadership is not sustained by performance — it is sustained by alignment that shapes how you decide, how you lead, and how you live.

If you’ve read this far, perhaps you’re sensing what I once did:

Something in your leadership feels unsustainable — and you know it’s time to lead differently.

I’d love to hear your story, understand where you are, and help you lead this season with clarity and confidence.


With you,
Summer
