Does your congregation struggle to implement new ideas? Are pastors and lay leaders burning out?
Imagine - What would it be like if ministry leaders in local congregations had the skills to help their parishioners discover what they most deeply wanted and needed for effective ministry, and then were able to create actions with the accountability to make them happen?
If this idea intrigues you, Coaching4Clergy’s Global Coaching Initiative is for you.
DATE: Tuesday, May 15, 2012
TIME: 9:00 am to 2:30 pm (registration at 8:30am and we will start and end promptly).
LOCATION: North Texas Conference UM Center, Plano, Texas

Participants in this training will:
- Observe LIVE coaching by Dr. Jim Robey, a minister and professional coach who is credentialed by the International Coach Federation (ICF) and is a Faculty member of Coaching4Clergy.
- Gain a strong understanding of coaching and the distinction between coaching, therapy, consulting and mentoring.
- Develop and practice some coaching skills that can be incorporated into the local church setting.
- Receive a combination of coaching theory and practice.
- Learn a Five-Step Coaching Model.
- Receive Val Hasting’s e-book designed just for this event.
The Global Coaching Initiative is designed to equip pastors and ministry leaders with some basic coaching skills that can be integrated and incorporated into their local ministry setting. Research and experience show that coach training can dramatically enhance the ministry leader’s effectiveness as a leader and greatly increase the impact within their faith community and the larger local community.
The new discipline of a “coaching approach” to ministry is founded on two basic truths about vital churches:
- They minister from their uniqueness – their own passions and talents – rather than trying to fit a preconceived model.
- They know how to implement their ideas – bringing them into reality.
