Professional Christian Coaching Today

God is certain: life is not. So how do you find clarity in the midst of all the uncertainty in life? It all depends on what you’re listening for and looking for. The gifts and the call of the Lord are irrevocable. We want certainty and clarity… but what if all we really need is trust? This is one podcast you truly can’t afford to miss.

Tune in to listen for:

• How God shows up in the midst of uncertainty and shows us what He will do when we trust Him.

• The gifts and the call clearly defined in Scripture so you can take the next step on your journey.

• How to move with the light you’re given so you can listen to God and ask Him the questions that will show you the way.

One of the most important things coaches bring about in sessions is clarity–what matters, what’s most important, what would be different if a change occurs. Since clarity comes up over and over in coaching and is core to the work coaches do, Gary Wood joins us today to share and explain his ground-breaking Clarity & Momentum Model.

Learn:

• How using the Clarity & Momentum Model can crystallize your client’s awareness.

• How to help clients move from overwhelm to achievement as they minimize burnout potential and zero in on the most important things.

• How to turn information into new knowledge and potential so your clients can move forward more effectively.

We’re opening the mailbox #13 this holiday season, and all the presents are for you. It’s our joy to hear from you and find out what’s on your heart and mind as you move forward in your Christian coaching journey and business. Whether you’re new to the podcast or have been in the community a while, we’ve got insights around some of the things you likely think about most.

Listen today as we discuss these topics:

- What is the value of social media? Is it worth my time? And how do I avoid negativity?

- What helpful tips and what information can I provide to a niche, a specific people group, so that I can narrow my focus and give value to my audience?

- How do I include seekers in my marketing materials for my Christian coaching business, without making them feel like I have it all together or that I have all the answers?

- How can coaching be useful in a crisis when the very nature of coaching is centered on not giving advice?

Join our special guest today, Dan Miller, as we discuss the powerful question, What does this make possible? In the face of our current challenges, there is a tremendous need to look ahead. Yet, with the current COVID crisis, it’s all too easy to stay focused on our current struggles – which could leave us in a state of fear, loss, and floundering. Today, we're going to step back from the chaos and do some visioning about what lies ahead.

Walk away with insight and inspiration for a fresh new year:

- Remembering what God says about the state of our world. 

- Leaning into the true Author of our stories 

- Soaring past expectations and limitations so we can choose a new adventure for 2021 and beyond!

As professional coaches, we are called to a world of expansive cultural diversity. In this global and multi-cultured context, it is more important than ever that we have a deep awareness, consideration, and appreciation of how we are alike and how we are different as humans. Coaches need to be aware of and manage our own biases to serve our clients effectively.

 Dive in with today’s guests and:

- Grasp the importance of going into each coaching relationship and session with an open mind that’s culturally competent and ready to serve people from all walks of life. 

- Learn the unforced rhythms of grace that abound when we approach coaching with curiosity so we can become more aware of and honor the variety of cultures in our world. 

- Experience the value of better understanding various people and setting aside bias to help our clients follow the call of God on their lives.
