What is Coaching?
Coaching is an agreement between the Center for International Leadership Development and your church to engage in a 6-12 month process of planning and implementing an evangelism or missions focus that fits your context. Your coach will lead 6-8 workshops with the evangelism or missions team during the coaching process.
CILD is a center of Northwest Baptist Seminary and Fellowship International
The Benefits of Coaching:
- An outside facilitator can guide you in the development of your vision and action plan through
- teaching basic principles
- listening
- asking relevant questions
- introducing exercises to stimulate interaction and creative thinking
- assigning homework to bring the principles to life
-
Time is a TOOL
- A one day workshop is helpful, but time is an enemy with a lot of information provided in a short period of time. Moreover, following the workshop the impact lessens with each passing day without intentional follow-up. Coaching provides ongoing stimulus with the opportunity for the participants to process the information and vision.
- Enables shifts to more natural and productive ways of thinking and acting
- Enables movement from creating vision to the point of deployment
- The coach can provide connection to resources and partnerships that will enhance your effectiveness
In summary coaching stimulates creative interaction to address a common concern that leads to productive action
