Professional Christian Coaching Today

Now, more than ever, we need leaders who can lead in all directions. Leaders who can lead in ministry and in the marketplace, during our very volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguously changing times. Great partnerships between leaders and coaches are critical in making the world a better place.

Listen in as Kim and her guest, Jon Lockhorst, discuss a coach-approach to leadership, and hear how to:

• Overcome the challenges in leadership that stem from learned skills, habits, and behaviors, so you can acquire the mindset you need to lead in all directions. • Manage the different kinds of investments that come with broader responsibilities in organizations, so you can step into leadership roles with confidence. • Walk away with the awareness of life and leadership coaching skills that help equip powerful leaders so they can positively impact the world
