Strengths Optimization Coaching for Leaders

 

The International Coach Federation definition:  The ICF defines coaching as partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.

Val Hastings (Coaching4Clergy) definition: Coaching is a partnership that turns passion and potential into great performance and productivity.

I have chosen for my own coaching slogan: Empowering your next step toward amazing

 

That means that my coaching is:

  •  Client Focused – I do not come with any agenda or expertise except to help you see more clearly the next step in your agenda … empowered by your expertise. (Coaching is not mentoring)
  • Passion Driven  –  My passion is to help you find your “sweet spot” and put your passion to work powerfully in your own life and ministry.
  • Christ Centered – My desire is to help you see what God is doing in your life and help you discover how to fulfill your unique calling and mission.
  • Forward Facing  – Coaching is focused on helping you take your next step, not on rehashing your last step. (Coaching is not therapy)
  • Potential Celebrating  – My role is to help you identify, tap into, and maximize your creativity, resources, and giftedness.
  • Accountability Based – The focus is on taking your next step, not hypothesizing about your next possible potential maybe.  I am responsible for helping you focus.  You are responsible for action.
  •  Anonymously Supportive – Not only do I maintain confidentiality about anything we discuss in coaching, but your solutions, action plans, passions and results are the only thing that will ever be seen because I don’t bring any to the table.  (Coaching is not consulting)

 

I offer a complimentary coaching session to all potential clients.

If you engage me as your coach, packages start at $147. Email me for details.
