Do you know what coaches aren't supposed to do? Listen in on a Master-Full coaching session and notice what the coach doesn't do, so you can effectively work with clients who have a lack of clarity on their hopes and dreams.

You'll also glean valuable insights on what to do:

~ Ask the client to explore, not explain, more about his or her goal so you can build trust and intimacy by creating a supportive environment that builds ongoing respect and trust.

~ Forward the client's actions by asking powerful questions so you can establish your coaching presence and employ a relational style of communication that will deepen the client's learning.

~ Develop a coaching style that allows the client to have "lightbulb moments" that will bring them more clarity on their hopes and dreams.

About Don & Kathy Mingo

Serving cross-culturally in another country presents unique challenges, problems, stresses, and dangers. We’ve been there! God calls us now to help other missionaries through coaching and care so they can serve longer and stronger.

Numerous missionaries share their need for help in marriage, personal life, and finances. Conflict between missionaries is common and a major hindrance to the Gospel. Missionaries are extraordinary people who often experience high levels of stress, conflict, and danger.

Kathy and I are uniquely prepared to help missionaries struggling on the field. As we answer God’s calling for missions once again, we ask for your prayer and financial assistance. As missionaries of the Baptist Bible Fellowship International we, like all our missionaries, raise funds to support ourselves and ministry.
