Introduction to Christian Leadership Coaching

Coaching Practices

Challenges of a Coach

Talking too much – about yourself, your experiences, your expertise. Ask yourself: Why am I Talking? (W.A.I.T.)
Problem solving for the other person – coaching is about drawing answers from the other person so they can solve the problems, not solving the problems for them.
Not staying in your role as coach, reverting to pastor or consultant.
Letting your own buttons be pushed.
Getting caught up in the PBC’s drama.
Not getting clear agreements.
Asking leading questions.
Not remaining objective and being attached to what the PBC is attached to.
Not growing as a coach – constantly working on improving coaching skills.
