What is Encouragement Coaching?

Encouragement coaching is coming alongside you as a coach to encourage, equip, and empower you through the process of self-discovery in an effort to help you succeed. I like to process through this in three areas: Identify – Bearing the Burden; Planning – Heading to your Destination; and Lifestyle – Enjoying the Ride.

How Does Encouragement Coaching Work?

Successful encouragement coaching is accomplished primarily by asking good questions, listening intently for the answers, and helping someone being coached take steps forward and upward toward God and His plans.

Why Does Encouragement Coaching Work?

God loves us so much that He puts his purpose, plans, and vision into the hearts of His children. The Holy Spirit then uses encouragement coaching guided by prayer and the word of God to help a believer take action steps forward toward success in life and ministry.

How are Coaching and Consulting Different?

Coaching is not about the knowledge or wisdom of the coach – it’s about the person being coached having their own ideas, hopes, dreams, and plans generated by the Holy Spirit and acting on them, all in the context of a helping and encouraging relationship.

"a powerful voice of experience and wisdom"

I watched first hand as Steve experienced the devastation of hurricane Irma in his town of Big Pine Key, Florida. The town was destroyed, the church building rendered unusable and the staff impacted personally. I watched a leader rise to the need of his community and minister in a situation that not very many could. He has a powerful voice of experience and wisdom earned the hard way.
