Coaching

The link between effective planning and successful implementation!
Coaching is about you...
​
 your goals, your learning, and your growth. Together you and your coach will listen to the Holy Spirit to hear His voice about you.

Coaching is about learning – rather than teaching. You are the expert on your life. Your coach uses coaching techniques such as active listening, open questions, encouragement, challenging a bit, and always remaining supportive – all to assist you in discovering insights and taking next steps.

Coaching is about action – your action. Each session you will determine 1-3 actions steps you will take before the next session. You may be surprised how quickly you progress toward your goals.

Coaching is about all of you – not just your work or ministry. We all know that changing old habits and thought patterns are difficult. Your coach recognizes these patterns and will support you as you change and grow.

Why does coaching work?
Coaching works because it brings out your best – what God put in! Coaches believe you can create your own best answers and are trained to support you in that process.

Specifically, this is what your coach will do during coaching sessions: 
  • Listen. Your story is central. Coaches fully engage in what you are saying. They also listen to the Holy Spirit and encourage you to do the same.
  • Ask questions. Coaches use questions to stimulate your thinking and creativity. Questions are about possibilities and the future.
  • Encourage. Everyone needs encouragements, and usually we don’t get enough. Your coach will hold up your vision, your progress, and your efforts.
  • Facilitate while letting you lead. Coaches facilitate your learning and problem solving. Yet, they are never fully leading – you are, with your agenda and your approach.

What are some areas that coaching might be helpful?
  • Personal Development such as family, health, your personal spiritual life as well as your personal planning and management.
  • Leadership Development such as developing a coaching posture within your church, leadership development issues both personally and in the life of the church and clarifying personal and corporate direction.
  • Strategic Focus in the area of planning, problem solving, preparation and possibility thinking.
