the COACH model

this week i had the opportunity to participate in a three-day coaching workshop based on the book "the COACH model for christians leaders" by keith webb. i had read the book (which i highly recommend), so it was great to be in the workshop and hear good teaching on what i had recently read and experienced. i left the training with a deeper understanding of how to coach.
for those who may not have heard of coaching, it is a practical tool that can help people to understand and fulfill God's calling on their life. it is a dynamic conversation that is based on helping other people discover their next steps in life, ministry, relationships, etc. through active listening and asking good questions. i have been being "coached" for a few months now and had begun "coaching" with a few of my close friend for practice. it is a life skill that i want to continue to develop and use because of how helpful i have seen it to be in my own life!
