“Coaching is partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. It is a process that supports the client in reaching deeper levels of fulfillment and success quicker and with more ease. Individuals engage a coach for many reasons and for support in any area of their life: career, business, personal transitions, relationships, financial, life balance, spirituality and more.” International Coaching Federation

“Christian coaching is an ongoing conversation that empowers a person or team to fully live out God’s calling.” The goal of Christian coaching is to develop people to more effectively reflect, correct, and generate new learning. It is learning new ways to learn, listening to your heart and Holy Spirit, and taking action to reshape your life around that learning. The coaching relationship produces insights, greater personal awareness, new or modified behaviours, actions, and ultimately results that satisfy the client.

You’re leading a team, a ministry, or an organisation — and you’re tired of being everyone’s answer. The same people keep coming back with the same problems. You want to develop others who take ownership, not just follow instructions.

Coach Mastery is for:

• Pastors, ministry workers, and chaplains wanting to lead with less dependency
• Managers and team leaders who want to develop their people, not just direct them
• Christian professionals ready to add coaching to their practice
• Anyone wanting ICF-recognised certification in a biblically grounded framework

There are no pre-requisites for Coach Mastery Certification

The language used to delivery the program is English.

A therapist focuses on the past and delves into issues that require specialised training. A coach also has specialised training that helps clients focus on the future and move beyond feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure.

A professional coach possesses talents, techniques, skills and tools that support the client in making the right changes, with greater ease and lasting effectiveness. The coach assists the client by helping them to:

• Recognise their strengths and assets
• Uncover the unconscious thoughts and beliefs that hold them back
• Explore new perspectives
• Gain clarity on values and life purpose
• Identify and end self-defeating habits and patterns
• Clarify goals and create action plans to achieve them
• Learn from mistakes and failures
• Discover what they truly desire
