KNOW WHERE YOU STAND

GAIN CLARITY ON YOUR DIRECTION

WHY COMPASS AND CAIRN?

The way forward isn't always clear.

Sometimes, we don't even know where we are.

In life, as on the trail, a compass points us toward where we want to go, while a cairn helps us recognize where we are. Both offer something we need: a sense of direction and a sense of place.

Compass & Cairn is built around that same idea. Our coaching creates space to step back from the noise, get your bearings, clarify what matters, and move forward with intention.

You don't have to have it all figured out to take the next step. Whether you're navigating a transition, exploring what's next, or looking to grow into the person, leader, or team that knows where you stand and what’s next, coaching can help you move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and purpose.

About Randy Folkenberg

I’m a coach, pastor and church planter, husband and father, and rock climbing guide. My life has taken me into a lot of different landscapes, but a common thread runs through them all — helping people find clarity, navigate change, and move toward purpose and peace.

I’ve worked with nonprofit leaders, educators, entrepreneurs, fellow coaches, and even business teams who are seeking to grow as leaders, strengthen relationships, and explore what’s next. My background in ministry, leadership, and guiding has shaped how I coach: with curiosity, honesty, and a deep respect for my clients’ past, present, and future. I believe meaningful growth begins when we make space to see things as they are—and imagine what they could become.

My professional coach training is through the Co-Active Training Institute (CTI), a leading coach training organization with programs accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF).

I’m not here to hand you a map or tell you which way to go. You already have a sense of where you are and where you want to be. I’m here to walk alongside you, listen deeply, ask thoughtful questions, offer observations that bring clarity, and support you as you find your way from the present into your best future.
