Leaders in government face incredible challenges, and also have tremendous opportunities to effect positive change.  Today, we'll give you a glimpse into the quiet work Christian Coaches do with those in privileged positions of influence and authority. Coaches help leaders in the military and government to discern, to hear, and to move with clarity of vision and direction. Decisions these leaders make impact lives in powerful ways.

Coaching is key to helping those in government and military positions to:

• Know what it's like to trust God and let Him lead people into what He designed for them to do.

• Leverage a growth mindset so clients embrace who they're becoming.

• Consider powerful questions that create new possibilities
