Coaching is a relationship designed to

help others facilitate change. It is helping

them succeed at what God has called

them to do.Bob Logan

Coaching 101

Coaching Verbs?

11 For you know that we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children,

12 encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory.

1 Thessalonians 2:11-12 (NIV)

“Yes, you can!” “Yes, you will!” “Yes, you must!”

From Dennis Easter with permission.

How is Coaching Different?

Counselor: Past orientation Mentor: Increases thinking capacity Consultant: Assesses and offers advice

based on assessment Supervisor: With positional authority

directs the energy and focus of others toward personal or strategic progress.

Relate: Establish coaching relationship and agenda

How are you doing? Where are you now? How can I be praying for you? What do you want to address? How can we work together?

Reflect: Discover and explore key issues

What can we celebrate? What’s really important? What obstacles are you facing? Where do you want to go? How committed are you?


Refocus: Determine priorities and action steps

What do you want to accomplish? What are possible ways to get there? Which path will you choose? What will you do?

- who, what, where, when, how How will you measure your progress?


Resource: Provide support and encouragement

What resources do you already have to accomplish your goals?- people, finances, knowledge, etc.

What resources will you need? What resources are missing? Where will you find resources you need? What can I do to support you?


Review: Evaluate, celebrate, and revise plans

What's working? What’s not working (or didn’t work)? What are you learning? What needs to change? What further training would be helpful? What's next in our coaching relationship?

The power of questions!

Get with two other people you don’t know very well. Person #1 has birthday closest to today Person #2 is the next closest Person #3 is farthest from today

Instructions to “Ones”

Turn the clock back and remember a time in your life when you were fully alive, loved, successful—a time when you were absolutely at your best!

Think about it in silence outside the room; we will call you back in a couple of minutes.

Instructions to “Twos”

You are going to interact with Person One for 15 minutes. Invite them to tell you about a time in their life when they were fully alive, loved, successful.

Limit your interaction to Asking powerful questions and using Discovery Listening.

Your goal is to uncover something of what they value, who they are at the core of themselves, and their strengths.

Instructions to “Threes”

You will be silent and watch the process. After 15 minutes, you will reflect on what you saw for 5 minutes. What appeared to be happening with

each person during the conversation? What was the dynamic of energy? How did the body language change? How did questions work to uncover

deeper reflection?
