Professional Christian Coaching Today

The circumstances we find ourselves in today provide fertile ground for difficult emotions. There’s something new to cope with Every. Single. Day. And many times we find our emotions getting the best of us. Today we are going to take charge of those feelings with emotional intelligence, the antidote that will help you, and those you serve to navigate those difficult emotions.

* Turn down the heat on your emotional pressure cooker so you can release steam in a healthy way.

* Name it and tame it. Fear, anxiety, concern, frustration, and anger sometimes boil together into an overwhelming soup of emotions. Identifying individual emotions takes much of their power away.

* Stop the fight/flight emotional firing in your brain and reengage the thinking regions of your brain to regain control of runaway emotions.

Recently, the International Coaching Federation (ICF) reduced it's Core Competencies from 11 to 8, and today we will talk about Competency #2, Embodies a Coaching Mindset. This competency delves into the heart of coaching.

The new ICF Competency #2 addresses:

• How the "doing" of the coach emanates from the "being" of the coach so you can show up and deliver the best possible value for each of your clients.
• How an open, curious, flexible, and client-centered mindset sets the coach up for meeting clients where they are and closing the session with the maximum benefit for the client.
• How clarifying and simplifying the original 11 Core Competencies closes the gap on coaching presence and helps you increase self-awareness before your coaching sessions.

Being where you are is tough when your personal vision is in the midst of turmoil. Can you relate? It's easy to become disoriented, discouraged, and paralyzed. But especially now, we need to be out and engaged. Both in conversations and productive work. With people and organizations facing turmoil. However, in order to be a sharpened tool, equipped with a strong grounding in who you are, you need a clear vision.

Be here:

* Examine your personal vision (who you are, where you are, where the Lord might move you next) so you can bring your whole self to what you do.

* Establish a fresh, personal vision for the coming season so you can move from the here and now into your promised future.

* Envision having peace with where you are so you can find purpose and live out a vision that inspires others.

In opening the mailbox #11, we've got some pandemic related questions to answer. It is time to rethink some of our strategies, and in doing so, we’ll not only be able to move forward now, but we will be repositioning ourselves for future growth.

In today's episode, we address these topics:
Are people still paying for coaching? If so, how can I encourage people to sign up sooner versus later so they can flourish in uncertain times?
I run into a brick wall when discussions turn to client acquisition. Business development is the least favorite part of what I do. So, what can I do to get clients?
The digital world has become much noisier since EVERYbody has jumped in with their offers. Should I jump in? How can I get noticed? And more importantly, how can I serve well?
