WHAT IS COACHING?

Coaching is…

• The asking of powerful questions that help someone get from where they are to where they want to go.
• A process of clarifying and honing our goals so that what we do has a greater effect.
• An hour with someone, once a month or once a week or whenever, who believes in you, and supports you, and holds you accountable to your plans and dreams.
• A way of releasing yourself into greater service for Christ.
• A means of increasing the chance that your project/program/outreach event will actually go well and honour Christ.
• A way to serve each other in our YFC community and a way to serve those outside of it in order to build bridges and empower others.
• A catalyst for change when things have stalled or gone dry in a centre.
• A way of helping those who have just entered the organisation or are pioneering a new program or event.
• A set of skills that helps leaders to encourage problem-solving in their team members, setting them free to work more efficiently on tasks.
• A respectful way of working with a staff that encourages them to believe the truth – God has given them a unique vision and giftedness to work for the kingdom.
