How many times have you seen this happen? A new product or invention comes to market and someone says, "Hey, that was my idea!" "Great ideas are a dime a dozen but implementation is priceless." says Mary Kay Ash, the late founder of Mary Kay Cosmetics.  Ideas are opportunities.   And even when negative events happen, opportunities are created by them that otherwise might not exist.  We just need t...

Today we are going to talk about a skill that is really more about what we don't do, than what we do.  In order to coach deeply, we need to hold the space for our client. When we coach in this way, it may appear to take longer to achieve results at times, but the results are far deeper and longer lasting because the client was deeply involved in achieving their outcome. Holding space in my view, i...

Today we are talking about how to get prepared for public speaking. This is a really important topic for us as Christian life coaches because we want to make the most of our speaking opportunities. And, there are coaches, whose primary method of delivering coaching, is to do so before an audience. I am one of those rare people who actually enjoy public speaking. It wasn't always that way, but now...

I believe many life coaches would agree that the single most difficult task is getting your client motivated to act.  This is no different for Christian life coaches. This could be seen as strange since a client hires a coach because they want change and coaches are change agents. There are many reasons clients don't take the actions that lead to the results they want and it is important to explor...
