“Coaching at its core is a series of intentional conversations. It’s a process which empowers a person to fully live out their calling. Because conversations are at the base of everything we do, coaching is the most effective tool I have seen for connecting with people, getting things done, and helping people learn and make changes.”

Coaching Skills Workshop
Coaching is not a new program or something else to add to your already busy schedule. It is an approach to working in community. People who take this workshop expand their ability to draw out creative solutions of individuals, teams and even partners while helping them take ownership to make it happen. Changing your conversations will change the results. Join others for a practical, interactive, Biblically-based, course with lots of skills practice built in. It is not a lecture.
Coaching skills can help you:
· Listen actively so others feel you understand them.
· Ask powerful questions that initiate a change of thinking.
· Help people design action steps they can actually accomplish.
· Generate feedback that avoids defensiveness
· Follow-up to increase learning and accountability

What others are saying...
"Just a day after the Coaching Skills workshop, I had the chance to apply what I learned. A colleague came to me seeking advice on handling a particularly difficult situation. Before the workshop, I likely would have felt the need to offer wise advice. But instead, I was able to ask her some thoughtful, guiding questions that helped my colleague find her own way forward. She left with clarity and confidence, and I left grateful for the tools the workshop gave me."
--Becky, Wycliffe Canada
