Eve and Steven Hinton, Apostles for the Kingdom of Heaven
Council on Leadership Foundation
Steven Hinton founded the Council on Leadership in 2010 and serves as Board Chairman and Director. The organization’s purpose is clear: to empower people to make their greatest contribution. Under Steven’s guidance, the Council has developed innovative training approaches that eliminate workplace apathy and build deeply committed teams.
Steven brings over 25 years of leadership development expertise to his work. His professional journey began at Cal Poly, where engineering studies sparked his passion for business excellence and social responsibility. After college, he moved directly into executive management while pursuing spiritual growth through Fresno Missionary Baptist Institute, later serving six years as youth pastor and assistant pastor.
With experience that spans service, retail, commercial construction, wholesale distribution, and direct sales, Steven has gained unique insights into diverse organizational dynamics that inform his distinctive approach to leadership development.
Eve Hinton serves as Board Member and Director of the Council on Leadership. A Vassar College graduate, Eve’s career encompasses commercial editing, landscape architecture, paralegal work, and 25 years as a bilingual elementary school teacher. As a Board Trustee for San Luis Coastal Unified School District, she played a key role in protecting students’ education and parents’ rights during challenging periods.
What truly sets the Hintons apart is their remarkable ability to help individuals discover their untapped potential. Their leadership philosophy demonstrates that organizational success and human dignity are complementary forces—profitable businesses and effective governing bodies must maintain unwavering respect for their teams.
