A COACH WILL DRAW-OUT VS. TELL YOU WHAT TO DO
Coaching in one word = EMPOWERMENT.
One leader compared coaching to “Coming Alongside and Drawing Out” vs. mentoring as “Going Before and Pouring In!” (Tom Wymore)
A helpful working definition of Coaching is a relational process to help a leader discover and take the next step in their leadership development.
- Macro change – visionary leaders who are introducing a new initiative
- Micro change – small steps that taken over time have a strategic impact
MINISTRY DYNAMICS THAT BENEFIT FROM COACHING

- Creating a learning a culture, managing effective team meetings and implementing powerful 1-1’s

3 DISTINCTIVES THAT WILL FIT YOUR UNIQUE CONTEXT
Principled based
- Universal principles are fundamental to my process vs. a particular model that leaders are forced to embrace.
Need-driven
- When we initiate a coaching relationship I ask you to clarify what you want to achieve and as long as we remain focused on that agenda, then the relationship will fulfill its intended purpose.
Processed oriented
- The complexities of life and work oftentimes interfere with the best laid plans so we adjust the plan as we progress.
TOOLS THAT WILL HELP YOU SUCCEED
-
One tool I use to set a baseline is the Harrison Assessment. This is one of the most reliable and in-depth assessments that helps you gain a clear picture of the traits you excell in and how you can maximize those in your work. Many times leaders I coach find themselves in transition and this is a great tool help them through that process.
Other tools I’ve used over the years include:
- DiSC
- Grip-Birkman
- StrengthsFinder
- Leadership Timeline
- 360-Degree Online Christian Coach Assessment
MEASURING YOUR SUCCESS FROM A COACHING RELATIONSHIP
- Objectives – What do you want to accomplish in a coach relationship?
- Measures – How will you know when you have achieved your objective?
- Gains – What do you want the impact to be for you and your organization?
If we meet or surpass these expectations then we are successful.
