Transforming Leaders through Gospel Leadership Coaching
There are literally hundreds and hundreds of books about how to lead, or at least how someone else leads. But how many have you seen that explain how you can GROW as a leader and how you can develop others as leaders?
Leadership is at its core a skill. After all, it is something you DO, not just something you know. How do we develop skills? By deciding where we want to go, seeing where we are (objectively), and practicing what it takes to get from here to there. And, realistically, we are FAR more likely to do what it takes when we have an objective coach to walk that journey with us, offering support, encouragement, and healthy accountability along the way.
But we also need to constantly apply the Gospel to our own lives, and a Gospel Leadership Coach will help us see that when we are in the heat of doing Church, our day to day battles, and our significant crises.
Transform will help you and your people grow as leaders
through Gospel Leadership Coaching.
Some of the characteristics of this coaching are:
• It’s for Pastors, other staff members, discipleship leaders, and other leaders
• It helps the leader apply the Gospel to his own life at all times
• It utilizes the RightPath© behavioral profile as an aid to the leader knowing his/her natural, God-designed strengths and struggles
• It is typically done thorugh ongoing phone or video conference discussions
• Includes what we call shepherding (of the whole person), coaching (asking powerful questions to bring out what God has already put into you), and mentoring (giving counsel and advice from the coach’s experience and wisdom)
• We can also provide a Leadership Coaching Workshop to begin to equip you and your leaders to coach others and to apply the skills of coaching to their leadership roles. This workshop is also available in a DVD based seminar package.

“Leadership training cannot be done on a mass scale. It requires patient, careful instruction and prayerful, personal guidance over a considerable time. Disciples are not manufactured wholesale. They are produced one by one, because someone has taken the pains to discipline, to instruct and enlighten, to nurture and train one that is younger.”–—Oswald Sanders, Spiritual Leadership
