The goal of coaching at the Center for Congregational Health, Inc.® is to help individuals to recognize their strengths and weaknesses, discover their dreams, and set the goals and steps to realize them. Our coaches assist ministers and lay leaders in creating steps and accountabilities to move toward success in their personal and professional lives.
Our philosophy of coaching is that through an on-going, professional relationship, a minister can enhance the skills, resources and creativity he or she already possesses in a safe and challenging environment. Our coaches can help an individual to assess his or her various capacities and bring them to bear in new and creative ways.
Each coaching client is matched to one of the trained coaches made available through the Center. Our coaches listen, observe, and customize their approach to individual client needs. In a coaching relationship, the client maintains the responsibility for creating, pursuing and maintaining the outcomes they seek. Most coaching takes place in hour-long, confidential telephone meetings twice per month.
