My first ministry coach was someone I found on google. I was with her for 15+ years and found so much help as she worked with me through a wonderful church, a terrible church and my starting a house church network.
Currently, I have 2 coaches. One is a pastor of a larger church (he is at a 1000+ member church, the one I serve is a 500 member church) – he is really helpful as I work through COVID, finances, and church growth ideas.
I am also working with a life coach each Monday morning. These times are just for me – I work on my health, my attitude, my dreams. I show up each Monday thinking I have nothing to say only to find that I am learning more about myself each week.
I became a coach in 2015 because of the experiences I have had with coaching. I took 120+ hours of coursework and have over 400 hours of working with others. I know I am more confident, relaxed, and successful because of how others have stood with me. Coaching has made a difference for me and I love helping others.
This spring I take another step in my coaching journey with The Life Coach School – so looking forward to using their tools and resources. Yeah coaching!
