Coaching Philosophy

Fundamentals:

Three elements constitute solid coaching: previous ministry success of the coach, training in the art of coaching, and cohesive dynamics between the coach and the church leader.  When these elements are present, leaders are enabled to optimize their time and gifts for kingdom work through the coaching process.

Why is Coaching important?

We need coaching to help us do ministry better. We need guidance from a knowledgeable supporter who has been where we want to go. A coach helps us to develop skills, make good decisions, and use our giftedness wisely.  A good coach knows the game.  Most have matured in the sport by playing themselves.  They have experienced the highs and lows; they know what works and what doesn't.  Most importantly, a coach uses his experience to guide us and help us to achieve success.

People describe coaching in a variety of ways: a specialized form of a mentor/apprentice relationship that gives us guidance and feedback, a form of personal counseling, or a form of friendship. All of these describe coaching. 

The coaching relationship provides seven basic tools:

1. Guidance
2. Encouragement
3. Perspective
4. Support
5. Debriefing
6. Relationship
7. Accountability 

In short, a coaching relationship helps the minister to develop the skills and insights necessary to lead well in a specific context, while it heightens the sense of responsibility that comes with leadership.

Registration is limited to 40 people:  Deadline is August 28th
