Unleash Your Full Potential: How Life Coaching Can Help You Leave a Lasting Legacy
“You will NEVER maximize your potential in any area without COACHING. It is impossible. You may be good. You may even be better than everyone else. But without outside input you will never be as good as you could be.”
(Andy Stanley, The Next Generation)
♥What is Christian Coaching?
♦First of all, it´s an ongoing conversation that empowers you to fully live out God´s call and your potential in your life and profession. The goal of coaching is to listen closely to what is really burning in your heart. As Coach I am trained to ask the right questions, to guide you into a deeper process. While doing so, we listen to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. You will discover new things about yourself and your dreams, and you are guided to take action to reshape the ideal life, you were meant to have.
♦Secondly, Coaching is about YOU, your dreams, your desires, your goals, your learning, and your growth.
♦Third, Coaching is about learning, rather than teaching. You are the expert on your life. As your coach I am trained to use coaching techniques such as active listening, open questions, encouragement, challenging a bit, and always remaining supportive. As Coach I assist you to discover insights and encourage you to do the next step.
♦Fourth, Coaching is about YOUR ACTION. Each session you will determine 1-3 action steps you will take before the next session. You may be surprised how quickly you progress toward your goals.
♦Finally, coaching is about ALL of you – not just your work, or your ministry. We all know that changing old habits and thought patterns are difficult. As your Coach I encourage you to recognize old patterns in your mindset that hinder your growth. I will guide you to train your mind and body to develop new and healthy habits, so you can grow into your full potential.
♥What Coaching Isn´t!
· It´s not therapy.
· It´s not mentoring.
· It´s not counseling
· It´s not a consultation with an expert
· It´s not a training, because you set the agenda.
However, there might be elements of this in the process of coaching.
♥Why is Christian Coaching so successful?
Coaching works because it brings out your best – what God has put in. As Coach I believe you can create your own best answers and I support you in that process. I believe in God, the Creator of you and your unique dreams. I believe in the guiding of the Holy Spirit to open our eyes and ears for a deeper understanding and insight in this process.
Specifically, this is what I as your Coach will do during our coaching sessions:
· Listen: Your story is central. I will listen actively to you and I believe in the eye-opening leading of the Holy Spirit for deeper understanding.
· Ask good questions: As Coach I use open questions to stimulate your deeper thinking and creativity.
· Encourage: Everyone needs encouragements. As your Coach I will develop a crystal clear vision for you with the information you provide and with the guidance of the Holy Spirit. I will keep reminding you of it and hold you accountable to it, monitoring your process and progress. We will celebrate your effort and success.
· Facilitate while letting you lead. Coaches facilitate your learning and problem solving. Yet you are leading, with your agenda and your approach. I will encourage you to listen more to the Holy Spirit and then to act upon it. Together you will look at how God has called and equipped you in life and achievement. As Christian Coach I will always support you where you are and encourage you in the direction you want to grow.
