Are You Ready To Be a Coach?

Great coaching requires three key elements:

Competence

Just because you think you can coach doesn't mean you actually have what it takes.

You have to develop the skills.

Confidence

Having the skills isn't enough on it's own. You will have to learn to trust the coaching process.

You have to know you have what it takes.

Credibility

The people you coach need you to help them move forward, and they'll be relying on you.

They have to know you have what it takes.

When you earn the Certified Christian Leadership Coach (CCLC) designation from Coach Approach Ministries, you can have full confidence that you have the skills to coach in a way that is truly valuable and consistent with the best practices in the coaching industry, the principles of Christianity, and your own calling to transform lives.

A few years ago, I found myself totally dreading a client session, which is not normal for me. I love coaching. But I had been coaching Mike for almost five years. Every third Thursday at 10 a.m., like clockwork. And that was the problem: it felt like clockwork. Mike would show up, talk through a

Let’s clear something up that confuses many would-be coaches: coaching is not counseling. You’d think that would be obvious, but it’s not—especially to people who are just getting started in the world of coaching. In fact, one of the most common concerns I hear from beginner coaches is something along the lines of: “I don’t
