Faith-Based Coaching

I am pleased to introduce our new service: faith-based coaching.
This type of coaching has all the strengths of regular coaching, whether online or via phone, with the vital component of faith in God to steer the course of your goals.

What You Learn:

  • How to properly apply consistent prayer to your goals and methods
  • How to seek God before planning your goals
  • Key considerations in carrying out your objectives
  • How to bounce back when things go wrong
  • Real-life, practical applications of spirituality in pursuing success
  • The correct way to "submit" and "surrender"
  • Witnessing the power, timing and movement of God in your life


Why should I try faith-based coaching?
Faith-based coaching is a great alternative to other coaching methods that don't take into account the spiritual development and accountability to God. Faith-based coaching   aligns your goals under the belief of God, factoring in components such as mercy, compassion, prayer and righteous living.*

Does this make regular coaching worse or better than faith-based coaching?
Regular coaching without the faith-based component can be just as powerful and progressive. The difference  is that faith-based coaching takes into account what I believe to be a vital, ingredient in lasting success. God is not compartmentalized or removed from your goals. Faith-based coaching is designed to reinforce your faith in a very real and systematic way and equip you with methods you will use to bring about the change you're seeking. Coaching can take you far, but God can always take you further.

Is faith-based coaching harder than regular coaching?
If you have not been exposed to faith practices or faith beliefs in God before, you might find it new and overwhelming. At the same time, if you hold on to a particular faith, you may find faith-based coaching to challenge you in what you hold to be true as well as enlightening to discover that there are many ways you don't need to perform or show God in order to get serious with your goals.

What if I don't know God or I'm not sure if there is one?
Faith-based coaching is a good starting point to begin your understanding of how God has created everything in you life and is accessible to you by prayer.

I've never read the Bible. Will I need one?
Yes, online Bibles are accessible for free. Scripture and reading assignments will be sent according to the lesson you're studying. You don't have to be well-versed in the Bible.

How much does it cost?
Online coaching can be as low as $17 a week.
Telephone sessions are available in packages:
Package A - $300
Package B - $700
Package C - $1300

How do I get started?
Schedule your first discovery call. This is a confidential phone call with me to assess your current situation and your goals.

*DISCLAIMER: Faith-based coaching does not ever take the place of the advice of licensed counselors, medical doctors and mental health professionals.

3 Things You Can Expect From Coaching: Writing. Numbers. Change.

Have you wondered about what is really involved in coaching? You hear about different coaches. What's it about?

A coaching session is essentially a session of work. You have a coach, who is working just as hard as you are, to quickly steer you to the fastest, most efficient yet challenging solution that will bring you to the next and necessary step of the change that you want and need.

How do we do this over the phone? 
If you've tried a diet or tried going to the gym to eventually fall away from the routine, then you have an idea of how a good goal can diminish to a series of faded attempts. So how can a coach guarantee good results from a bunch of phone calls?

First, as a coach, I will tell you that every person is different. This means that the rate of change and the appreciation of the experience will differ. That's why it's important to find a coach that works well with you.

Secondly, a lot of the change depends on completing the assignments. It's not just busy work for you to complete between our sessions. These exercises hold important and revealing information that needs to be cleared up, confronted or mapped out. But that can only be done with the honest answers that you're willing to share. So we really depend on you to tell your story in order for us to steer you into the next phase of your life and career.

Here are three things that you can  expect from coaching:
Writing
The assignments are typically short and involve writing. Typing, though convenient, is not always recommended. Your coach will tell you which assignments need writing. There is a connection and effectiveness involved in the process of physically writing your answers. *We have accommodations for clients who may not be able to write. However, for the most part, if you are physically able to write, then we really encourage it. It's a free process that requires thought energy but the benefits begin almost immediately with writing. So, just be prepared to write.

Numbers
Coaching is fortunately more than just a feel-good motivation session.We use numbers to measure progress. It can vary from the number of times you do a task to establish a habit or tracking a pattern of incidents to identify a recurring theme. Change and success can be measured by using specific benchmarks in your current projects and relationships. We enjoy the use of numbers. They are important to gauge your rate of change.

Change
Change is the whole point of coaching. This is what we look forward to. Sometimes it's uncomfortable. Sometimes change happens so fast that we wonder why it took so long. Change is the value and result  that you get from coaching. Change can be a complete overhaul of habits or a shift in perspective on something that's been holding you back or keeping you imprisoned in a particular area of life. Change is what equips you for more change and prepares you for progress. Your experiences and how you react to change is critical. Change is also ongoing. Change can start in coaching and we certainly encourage you to expect more change, even after your sessions.
