Meet the Team
Through coaching and spiritual direction, I depend on the Holy Spirit to reveal desires, expose roadblocks, and inspire deeper and fuller life in whatever context you’re rooted in.
My love for transformational coaching comes directly from my own experience as I would have never discerned my own calling into ministry without a combination of spiritual direction and coaching. I have served in various vocations throughout my life ranging from working the line in a factory to guiding outdoor adventures to administering a foundation to event planning. But I eventually said “yes” to a life of vocational ministry in my early 30s and have been involved with church leadership teams ever since.
I’m currently pastoring at Vineyard North Church in Grand Rapids, MI where I spend most of my energy facilitating opportunities for spiritual formation and leadership development. I’ve been married to Geoff for 21 years and have two incredible sons, Soren and Tennyson, who are getting ready to launch into adulthood.
I coach both independently and with several networks as well as offer spiritual direction. Geoff & I co-authored Does God Really Like Me? Discovering the God who wants to be with us. I look forward to meeting all of you and bearing witness to the ways we are all transformed as we journey together in the coming weeks!

Bob Hyatt, DMin
After 25+ years in local church ministry, my focus has shifted to equipping and encouraging other leaders. My driving desire is to give them what I wish others had given me.
I do this primarily through coaching other pastors and leaders, through serving as the Director of Equipping and Spiritual Formation for the Ecclesia Network, and now, through Transformational Coaching US!
I have co-authored two books from IVP, Ministry Mantras and Eldership and the Mission of God. I have an MA in theology from Western Seminary and a DMin in Leadership and Spiritual Formation from Portland Seminary.
My wife Amy and I were married in 2002, have three children (Jack, Jane, and Josie), a golden retriever (Bentley), a grey tabby cat (Girl Kevin), and a bunny (Steve). After planting a church in 2004 in Portland, OR, and pastoring it for 14 years, we moved to Boise, ID.
Beyond my family and woodworking, my passions revolve around coaching other ministry leaders towards Jesus-focused success in ministry- success being defined not by numbers but by clarity around and achievement of personal, spiritual, and ministry goals.
“Bob and Cyd are excellent coaches and bring a holistic skill and ability to partner with the Holy Spirit in deep and powerful ways. We have seen their personal commitment to lead from their own transformation and have watched them impact and empower others as they’ve led Transformational Coaching. ”
