Welcome to Skinner Leadership Institute

Skinner Leadership Institute is a unique organization that ministers to business, political, young leaders and ministry leaders across the nation, and brings together leaders of diverse races and cultures seeking reconciliation based on the teachings and lessons of Jesus Christ. The organization’s vision is to raise up a new generation of Christ-centered leaders who are excellent spiritually and in the work they do. This vision came to Dr. Barbara Wiliams-Skinner and her husband, the late Tom Skinner, a former Harlem New York gang leader turned evangelist, pro sports chaplain, and author.

Skinner Leadership Institute is led by Dr. Barbara Williams-Skinner, a lawyer and ordained minister with a Doctorate of Ministry. Barbara herself, a product of a neglected California urban area, has become a leader of leaders across the nation, a bridge-builder across the racial divide, and a voice for the voiceless here and around the globe. She is called upon by leaders for spiritual guidance as she is known to live a life rooted in prayer.
