Coaching Skills Training Program

According to top leadership authors like Daniel Goleman, leaders with strong coaching are vital to retaining, developing and supporting your key people.  Creating a culture that where coaching skills are regularly utilized is a clear way to reduce isolation and increase the performance level of your entire organization.

Our unique coaching skills training program creates a rich and practice intensive environment for you and your key personnel to acquire foundational coaching skills that will make a substantial difference in supporting and developing your most important asset, your people.

This transformational, 7 month training program includes these essential components that help ensure a lasting impact:

  • Three two-day seminars
  • Four two-hour group learning sessions
  • 12 individual coaching sessions
  • Coaching two “coachees” for ten hours each
  • Guided discussion and activities

Christian Leadership Training Program

This 8 to 9 month training program addresses in-depth some of the most important areas that contribute to lasting, effective leadership.  The foundation of our leadership model is the emotional and spiritual maturity of the leader, as who we are (our character, our hearts) profoundly shapes how we engage as leaders.  We also focus on 5 core leadership skills, such as visioning skills and engagement skills, that have a significant impact on helping an organization realize its potential.  The last major segment of the model focuses on the crucial roles of growth and renewal disciplines (such as regular, renewing time away, healthy living) to ensure lasting leadership success.

Participants who have gone through this training have found that it has made a significant difference in how they lead. In particular, they understand more clearly than ever how their character shapes how they lead, and have taken steps through the training to strengthen their character and lead in more powerful ways.

The Christian Leadership Training Program includes:

  • Four two day interactive seminars
  • Relevant reading assignments
  • A personally chosen leadership project to bring the learning to life
  • At least six individual coaching sessions to facilitate learning in-between seminars
  • Rich movies to watch that drive home core leadership principals

This program can be customized to fit the unique needs and strengths of your team and culture.
