The essence of Life Coaching is “partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential,” as stated in The International Coaching Federation guidelines. The entire focus of the coaching relationship is the client’s desired outcomes. A client may seek coaching for the many areas of life, including relationships, vocation, transitions, calling, personal health, and spiritual growth. The coaching sessions involve determining the client’s topic followed by an exploratory and co-creative conversation. The session generally ends with an agreement on further action steps for the client. The coach’s role is to listen, explore, ask clarifying questions, provide accountability, and believe in the client’s integrity and ability to choose the right path.
With the permission of the client, I include prayer and an invitation to listen to God. My primary focus is assisting followers of Jesus to experience the abundant life and freedom He promised. This affects every aspect of a person’s life and is a foundation for “Holy Aha” Coaching. I consider it a high honor to accompany others on this sacred journey and trust that God will direct each step.
