What is Christian Life Coaching?

It is the practice of assisting the client to take action to achieve and determine their personal and
professional goals.  It is a three-fold  partnership based upon mutual respect and trust between the
client, coach and the Lord. The client and the coach are considered equal partners working together
to achieve the clients desires. Christian coaching openly invites the Lord into the coaching
relationship. In this way the sessions can be Spirit led and are aimed at discovering the will of God
for your life.  As well as, permitting the opportunity to become acquainted with how His Word is
relevant to your everyday life. The foundation of Christian coaching focuses less on giving advice
and more upon drawing out of you what God has already put in you.  The coaching is centered on  
the present and moving beyond your past into the future.

What are the benefits of coaching?

of life, and personal satisfaction with life & work.

How does the coaching process work?

The process is client driven. You set the agenda and do the work. It is a process totally focused on
your success. The coach does not provide "the answer" or advice but guides you through a process
that stimulates what is inside of you to come forth. This is accomplished by listening and asking
questions that encourage you to think and dig a little deeper. The coaching process leaves room for
learning to occur in a comfortable and secure environment.
The coach's communication is direct and honest; speaking the truth in love at all times. The goal is to
hold you accountable for taking action and to ensure we stay on track to achieve your desired results.

What specific part do I play in the coaching process?

You play a major part by setting the agenda, providing the solutions and developing action steps to
move towards your desired goals. As we work together you also may engage in periodic readings,
assessments, surveys,  journal writing and/or activities which will support you in staying focused on
your set goals. This is what it means to be in a coaching relationship; it is truly an equal partnership
that is client-driven. It is about you!

What is a Laser Target session?

This is a short 10 - 15 minute targeted session provided to address a specific opportunity or
challenge that may occur between scheduled coaching sessions. Laser Target sessions provide you
with the opportunity to communicate verbally as well as via email in between sessions.

What is a Teleclass?

This is a group coaching class or series offered via a bridge line to coach on and learn a specific

Is prayer involved in our sessions?

This is a personal choice for you to make. The opportunity for prayer is made available at any point
during our session.  However, we do have confidence in prayer because it can quiet your spirit from
the busyness of the day and allows us to become present in the moment. Most importantly, prayer
invites the Lord into the session.

"For where two or three are assembled in my name, there am I in the midst of them." Matthew 18:20
