Empowering You to Lead from Your Own Transformation

 

What is Transformational Coaching?

Transformational Coaching is a 9-week online experience that equips you with coaching skills and practices while giving you transformational tools so you can better coach and lead from your own transformation.

Transformational Coaching started in 2016 and has equipped over 200 ministry, business, and church leaders from 7 denominations across the US and Canada.

Transformational Coaching can now be taken for credit!

Accreditation

Transformational Coaching is accredited with the International Coaching Federation.

Transformational Coaching is for you if:

 
 
  • You want to grow in your ability to listen and ask incisive questions.

  • You are looking for more skills to help staff, key lay leaders, and employees develop to their full potential.

  • You would like to empower people to find greater clarity about how to get unstuck, identify areas of growth, and move forward with solutions they identify and implement. 

  • You long to be challenged and equipped with spiritual practices to help you lead out of a deeper spiritual well.

  • You seek to gain a skill that can help you create meaningful connections with those outside of faith.

  • You are curious about hearing and following the leading of the Holy Spirit in your conversations.

  • You learn best through practical and applied experience.

 

 

The experience includes weekly online gatherings with other leaders from across the US, curated resources, peer coaching, and a two-day Practical Learning Experience (online) that pulls everything together through coaching practice in triads.

The 9-week experience is designed to equip Christians with a blend of basic coaching skills and Spiritual Direction that flow from core postures of personal transformation.

What do leaders have to say about Transformational Coaching?

Kurt Willems - Pastor & author of Echoing Hope

David Hines - Missional Practitioner

“As a younger pastor, realizing that I don’t need to have all the answers is really freeing. Transformational Coaching trained me to listen well and ask questions in order to help individuals recognize God is already speaking to them about their lives.”

— Lisa Goetze, The Meeting House Oakville

“I took transformational coaching so that I could help transform people, but in the end, I was the one who was being transformed. There is so much freedom in knowing that I am not responsible to find a solution. My role as a Pastor/coach is to ask questions that provide space for God to move in the problem.”

— Michael Kotsopolous, The Meeting House Alliston (formerly Faith Community BIC)

“I believe that Transformational Coaching would benefit every pastor. I wish I would have taken this training earlier in my ministry.”

— Rev. Dr. Dallas Friesen, Director of Congregational Development Canadian Baptists of Ontario and Quebec.

“I was, and still am, learning from the excellent teaching. The freedom that comes when we are able to depend entirely upon the spirit, laying down our ego and knowing that our identity is not linked with the outcome of our work. I loved the focus of our own transformation before we step out to serve others.. . . . It has brought to the surface the areas in my leadership that I have struggled to find my identity in Christ and not in my own performance and its showered it with grace, allowed the light of the spirit to awaken growth and brought a beautiful freedom to blossom again. It’s been one of the most transformative courses I have ever done - I am really grateful to the team for taking us through it.”

— Jill Hines, Missional Practitioner United Methodist Church Northern Ireland
