Why is coaching so effective?
By focusing on the person's passions, personal desires and felt needs, coaching uncovers the "prepared soil of the heart." Rather than "telling" a person what to do, a coach leads the client to discover his or her highest values and find the motivation that leads to positive steps of action. The coaching relationship provides the kind of trusting, encouraging support that produces the healthiest form of accountability.
"Coaching has taken my personal ministry to a new level. Instead of scratching my head on how to help a fellow pastor, coaching allows me to help a pastor to discover the answer for himself. Coaching has also radically changed my relationship with my grown children." Don Brock, Gateway Baptist
"As I learn better the dynamics of coaching, I am experiencing a personal transformation and am becomig a more sensitive pastor, a more understanding husband and a more supportive dad." Carl Martin, Church Planter, Bluffton SC
