• What is Life Coaching?

"Coaching is an action-oriented partnership that… concentrates on where you are today and how you can reach your goals." ~Time Magazine
“Coaching is unlocking a person’s potential to maximize their own performance. It is helping them to learn rather than teaching them.” ~ John Whitmore

• What is Christian Coaching?

Christian Life Coaching is the art, skill, and practice of coming along beside a person or group of people, working with them where they are to help assist, encourage, and motivate them to want what God wants for their life, and to help them get to where God wants them to be.  Christian Coaching is about teaching, learning, inspiring, and empowering a child of God to reach their God potential and fulfill their God given purpose through destiny discovery and alignment.  In summary, Christian Coaching help people reach their God given goals and potential by helping them discover their values, purpose, and by encouraging them to align their life with what God wants for them.  A skilled gifted Coach will inspire you to dream the dreams of God and work toward achieving those dreams.

• What is the Difference Between Coaching and Counseling?

Coaching is not counseling.  Coaching does not seek to resolve any underlying psychological problems. Coaching assumes a person does not require a psycho-social intervention or need therapy to overcome disruptive painful influences from their past.  "Coaches help people build vision and move toward the future.  Coaching is not reactive looking back; it's proactive looking ahead.  It is not about healing; it's about growing.  It focuses less on overcoming weaknesses and more on building skills and strengths.  Usually coaching is less formal than the therapist-patient relationship and more of a partnership between two equals, one of whom has experiences, perspectives, or knowledge that can be useful to the other.  The goal of coaching is not in fixing what is broken, but in discovering new talents and new ways to use old talents that lead to far greater effectiveness.” ~ Gary R. Collins

Life Coaching Services Provided

Linda specializes in five fields of  Solution Focused Christian Life Coaching:  Christ Centered Spiritual Formation, Leadership, Life, Hope, and Prophetic Coaching.  Through the help of the Holy Spirit, Linda positions herself with her clients as a Solution Focus Christian Life Coach, partner, confidant, and or equal.  She assist and help her clients achieve their goals by offering Biblical wisdom (insight from the Word of God), prayer, encouragement, Christian resources, and the use of Life Coaching tools based upon their needs.

• Christian Life Coaching: is for those who want assistance in living a successful life in Christ Jesus, and/or to achieve their most important life goals. I Timothy 4:12b (KJV): Be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

• Hope Coaching / Cancer Coaching / End of Life Coaching: is for those who are going through difficult times and seasons in their lives,  and need someone who is biblically sound, experienced, and qualified to come along beside them offering Biblical hope, truth, and encouragement. Proverbs 13:12(NKJV): Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when the desire comes, it is a tree of life.

• Christian Leadership Coaching: is not only for those who want to become successful leaders, but great leaders in God’s eyes in the corporate world and in ministry. Proverbs 22:29: Do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before kings.

• Christ Centered Spiritual Formation Coaching: is designed for those who want to have a more intimate transformational relationship with God.  Biblically based Christian spiritual formation (sanctification process)is the process of being shaped  by the  "Holy Spirit" into the likeness of Christ.  This process involves the transformation of the whole person’s desires, thoughts, behaviors, and styles of relating to God and others.  Linda will help you develop a God-concept and explain spiritual disciplines and basic biblical truths to help you through, and help you understand this transformational, lifelong process. Paul told the Christians in Philippians 2:12 (NLT):Work hard to show the results of your salvation, obeying God with deep reverence and fear.  

• Prophetic Life Coaching: is for those who feel that they have been given the spiritual gift of prophecy or called to the Prophetic Office and want to operate in their prophetic gift or office with respect and honor unto God (for the glory of God), walking in wisdom, integrity, humility, and accuracy.  Paul states in Ephesians 4:8, 11-13 (NKJV): And gave gifts to men…. some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.
