Leadership Coaching

An organization will not grow beyond its leader. That’s why the best investment any organization can make is in building the character and capacity of its leaders. Our leadership coaches combine extensive leadership experience in churches, nonprofits and business with training in spiritual direction and coaching. They will help leaders expand their leadership capacity and chart a course from where they are to where God is leading with accountability and support each step of the way.

Coaching Session

In your initial coaching session, your coach will work with you to develop a coaching plan. Leaders typically meet with their coach weekly or bi-weekly for 6-8 sessions. Then you will evaluate your progress together and determine what’s next. Each coaching session follows a basic flow we call PEGS. Prayer. Empathy. Goals. Steps.

Prayer

Prayer is the foundation of what we do. Jesus is the Head Coach. We help you listen to him and follow his lead.

Empathy

Your coach will listen and connect with the challenges you face, helping you see what you need and imagine what God wants to do in and through you.

Goals

Your coach will help you clarify Spirit-led and strategic goals to move you and your ministry or organization forward.

Steps

You will have clear action steps to complete after each meeting that help you make actual progress along the way.

I wish I would've started this process 10 years earlier. It's been very effective. My coach is dialed into the Holy Spirit and always adds value. I would recommend [Soul Shepherding Coaching] for anyone who's trying to go deeper into their relationship as an apprentice of Christ.

My coach has offered me warmth and empathy, with patience, so that I gradually overcome my fear to share my stories with him. I have recommended Soul Shepherding coaching to many friends, especially brothers and sisters in church.
