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

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.
