Where Does God Want You to Be

Where Do You Want to Be

Coaching Gets You There

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

In the late 15th century, someone in Kocs (pronounced “kotch” and sounds like, you guessed it, coach) Hungary built the second greatest invention since the wheel—a cart by which they could more easily transport goods and people. They Described it as a horse-drawn coach to get people from where they were to where they wanted to be.

Today, I will come alongside you to guide and encourage you through life’s challenges, helping you move forward from where you are toward where you want to be, more quickly, with more confidence than if you had tackled life alone.

Over the centuries, tutors used the term coach to prepare students to pass exams and get them closer to where they wanted to go in school, as well as trainers helping athletes achieve their goal of winning the prize.

COACHING IS ABOUT YOU

Coaching is about you – your goals, your learning, and your growth. Together you and I will listen to the Holy Spirit to hear His voice about you.

Coaching is about learning. You are the expert on your life.

I use coaching techniques such as active listening, open questions, encouragement, challenging, and always supportive. All to assist you in discovering insights and taking the next steps.

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

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

Our coaching relationship produces insights, greater personal awareness, changed behaviors, actions, and ultimately the results that satisfy you.

You will evaluate, reason, imagine, decide, and implement.

Why Does Coaching Work?

Coaching works because it brings out your best – what God put in! I believe you can create your best answers, and I support you in that process.

Specifically, this is what I will do during coaching sessions:

Listen. Your story is central. I will fully engage in what you are saying. I will also listen to the Holy Spirit and encourage you to do the same.

Ask questions. I will use questions to stimulate your thinking and creativity. Questions are about possibilities and the future.

Encourage. Everyone needs encouragement, and usually, we don’t get enough. I will support your vision, your progress, and your efforts.

Facilitate while letting you lead. I will facilitate your learning and problem-solving. Yet, I will never fully be in the lead – you will, with your approach, your plan, and your goals.

HOW COACHING WORKS

Generally Speaking

Generally, our coaching relationship will resemble a large, delicious pie sliced into four pieces.

At the center of the pie and assimilated within the pieces is Jesus/Holy Spirit/God.

The first big piece at the top of the pie is AWARENESS. We will become more aware of who you are, how your past prepared you for your present, and your current values, gifts, and passions.

The second big piece is VISION, where you want to go, want to accomplish, and your calling.

The third big piece is STRATEGY AND ACTIONS. How we get to where you want to go? We will set realistic, measurable goals and celebrate the small wins as you accomplish them.

The fourth big piece is OBSTACLES: What gets in the way? We will conquer the mental blocks, delays, hindrances, and setbacks that attempt to stop your progress.

We will not always deal with all the pieces of the pie in one session. Nor will we progress evenly and in order like the hands of a time clock. We will, however, take enough bites of the pie at the right time to ensure the success of your goals.

Specifically Speaking

Most sessions will flow like this:

C Connect: engagement by sharing what happened since our last session, your progress or the obstacles.

O Outcome: discuss what you would find most helpful to talk about and what you would like to take away from our session today.

A Awareness: reflective dialogue to discover insights into yourself, vision, and strategy overcoming obstacles and actions.

C Course: action steps that help capture your insights and convert them into action steps. Discuss the steps you will take before our next session.

H Highlights: discuss what you learned or what insights you gained in the session today and how useful they will be for you.

The COACH Model was developed by and registered to Keith E. Webb at Creative Results Management.
