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.

Picture this: Your client is on the dance floor and in the thick of it—spinning, reacting, dodging elbows, and trying not to trip over their own feet. The music is loud, the pace is relentless, and the dance floor is packed with people who all seem to be demanding something. That’s leadership on a daily

Sometimes, the thing preventing a client from moving forward isn’t a lack of motivation, a clear game plan, or accountability. It’s not a lack of skill or a fuzzy vision, either. And it’s not that their level of effort is too low or that they are facing challenging external circumstances. Instead, the roadblock is inside
