The Voice of a Leader Challenge Coin

Your Voice. Your Influence. Your Legacy.

Inspired by the book The Voice of a Leader by Fred M. Davis Jr.

Lead with purpose. Serve with humility. Give people a reason to trust your leadership.

The Voice of a Leader Challenge Coin celebrates the responsibility to speak with intention, act with integrity, and serve with compassion. Inspired by Fred M. Davis Jr.’s book, this two-sided design offers a personal reminder to consider how your words, decisions, and example affect the people you lead.

Choose this coin to strengthen your own commitment to servant leadership or present one to someone whose guidance has helped you grow. Each inscription invites reflection on a question that deserves your attention: What am I helping others become through my leadership

Front Design: Lead with Purpose. Serve with Humility.

The front features the title “THE VOICE OF A LEADER” above a vintage-style microphone on a tiered platform. A sunlit mountain scene fills the background, with radiating light drawing attention to the microphone and the responsibility that comes with having a voice.

Gold-toned lettering and decorative borders contrast with deep navy and charcoal tones. The detailed imagery connects the book’s title with a clear leadership commitment: “Lead with purpose. Serve with humility.”

At the bottom, the design includes these words from Jesus:

“For even the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve.” Mark 10:45

This Scripture establishes the coin’s Christian emphasis. Leadership calls for a willingness to serve, listen, and care for others. The front design encourages you to consider whether your daily conduct reflects the values you communicate.

Reverse Design: Lead on Purpose

The center of the reverse displays the words “LEAD ON PURPOSE.” Five surrounding sections connect that commitment with specific responsibilities:

PURPOSE | Compass

Be clear about whom you serve, what you stand for, and why your leadership matters. Make decisions that reflect those commitments.

TRUST | Handshake

Keep your promises. Communicate honestly. Take responsibility when your actions fall short of your words.

HEAL | Heart with a Cross

Lead with compassion. Listen when someone struggles, respond with respect, and pursue reconciliation when relationships become strained.

INSPIRE | Three People

Recognize someone’s abilities. Offer specific encouragement. Create opportunities for others to learn, contribute, and lead.

LEGACY | Shield

Consider the example you set and the values you teach. Help others develop the character and confidence to lead responsibly.

The upper outer inscription reads: “YOUR VOICE. YOUR INFLUENCE. YOUR LEGACY.”

The lower inscription adds a call to action: “BUILD PEOPLE. HEAL HEARTS. TRANSFORM LIVES.”

Together, these messages invite you to evaluate leadership through your treatment of people, your commitment to their growth, and your willingness to serve.

A Meaningful Gift for Someone Who Has Helped You Grow

Present this coin to a mentor who made time for you, a pastor who encouraged your faith, a coach who challenged you to improve, or a leader whose example earned your respect.

The coin can accompany a personal note of appreciation, a leadership commissioning, a volunteer recognition, or the completion of a coaching or training program. The connection to The Voice of a Leader also makes the design a meaningful companion for readers who want a visible reminder of their commitment to purposeful leadership.

For your own use, display the coin where you prepare for meetings, study, or reflect. Before your next conversation, pause and ask:

• Will my words provide clarity?

• Will my actions earn trust?

• How can I serve this person well?

Suggested message when presenting the coin:

“Your guidance has helped me grow, and your example has shown me the value of serving others. Please accept this coin as a thank-you for the time, care, and encouragement you have given. May these words remind you that your leadership matters to the people you serve.”
