Tools and resources to help Coaches invest, inspire and support team/group leaders in leadership and life.
What is Coaching?
Coaching is relationally investing, inspiring, and supporting a Leader in their leadership and life. It is serving Leaders to help them live out who God has created them to be.
“Coaching is an ongoing intentional conversation that empowers a Leader to fully live out God’s calling.” – Keith E. Webb, Coaching in Ministry
Why is Coaching So Important?
“Jesus is the hope of the world. His Church is His local agents of hope. And great leaders are the hope of the church.” Every good or bad experience that someone has at Relevant is because of leadership. So, if people’s experiences are determined by leadership and the Church is how Jesus chose to share the hope of the world, it is vital that Leaders are healthy and growing. We all need someone investing, inspiring, and supporting us in order to stay healthy in our leadership.

Coaching is best done through asking questions to draw out of the Leader what God is doing in their lives and leadership. A great resource to do this is the Leadership Coaching Model.
For coaching to be effective you need a plan. And, both you and the Leader you are coaching need to be committed to working the plan. We suggest you fill out the Coaching Commitment with your leader when you first start coaching and use the Coaching Plan to get the most out of your coaching.
