COACHING
Why do I need a coach?
Ministry contexts are complex, emotionally-driven systems, requiring a high level of competency and emotional maturity by the pastoral leader. Reaching maximum effectiveness as a vocational minister is not a simple process. It requires assessment, coaching and accountability.
Every minister can benefit from a qualified, committed coach who will invest his/her expertise and experience in helping the minister achieve God’s calling in his/her life. An excellent coach can make the difference between drowning and thriving in ministry. To schedule a coaching session call 804-327-0707 or complete this form.
Call and Identity Coaching (CIC)
Based on twenty plus years of research and practice, Call and Identity Coaching™ (CIC) was developed by Dr. Maurice Graham and informed by his theory of Pastoral Intelligence (PI). Grounded in scripture, PI integrates theology, spirituality and emotional intelligence theory with the goal of strengthening the minister’s ministry effectiveness. (Click here for more information on PI.)
Call and Identity Coaching (CIC) empowers ministers to gain clarity in their calling (purpose), increase spiritual growth and self-awareness, while strengthening pastoral leadership skills. Utilizing the Skill Assessment for Ministry-360 inventory, a Shepherd’s Staff coach will help you develop a customized life and ministry plan that will enhance your effectiveness and satisfaction in ministry.
Where We Begin
