Beyond Competence: The Character of an Off-Roading Coach
Explore the “being” beneath a coach’s “doing”:
It’s not enough for coaches to know the “what” and “how” of coaching; coaches must also understand the “who.” In Beyond Competence, you will discover that a coach’s doing…demonstrating skills, using various techniques and tools, and so on…flows from the depths of their being. We invite you to explore and develop the character that undergirds your competence by giving you real-life lessons from those who have walked in your shoes.
Discipleship Coach Training
The Discipleship Coach Training course combines aspects of spiritual direction using a coach approach to create a conversational environment that trains those you disciple to hear God’s voice directly for themselves.
- Imagine feeling invigorated when listening to others rather than feeling tired.
- Imagine creating an environment where you can have meaningful conversations in less than 10 minutes!
- And finally, imagine the Holy Spirit given full license to do what only Holy Spirit can do and you were never expected to do.
Your Relationship with Money Matters
We know Jesus had a lot to say about money. We can each probably quote at least 10 adages pertaining to money. Yet, converting our knowledge to wisdom when it comes to greenbacks can be a daunting task. How do we look at money in general? And more specifically, how do we look at such things as: The valuation of services? Investing in the business? Paying ourselves? Paying it forward?
In this workshop, led by Cheryl, we will take the wisdom of the scriptures and examine our personal experiences with money, building a personalized paradigm to make our business work for us rather than against us.

Leading with Questions
by Michael Marquardt
Coaching is more than asking a question – it is about timing, motivation and focus. As your clients experience the power of questions, they may find they too want to engage with their teams through the use of inquiry. This book provides interesting thought and case studies on the effects of leading with inquiry rather than with answers to draw out and empower not just your client in a coaching session, but equip your client to do the same as a leader.
Humble Inquiry
by Edgar H. Schein
Too often coaches cave to the desire to give an answer or worse, ask question that set the client down a path the coach thinks is best. This book helps to dismantle the hubris behind these artificial inquiries and may help to purify both our listening and our response with question to that which we hear from our clients.
Coaching Questions
by Tony Stoltzfus
So often we get stuck asking the operational questions or the “give me the detail” questions that don’t move the client forward. Tony’s catalog of questions and their typical application in a coaching dialogue expands our inquiry vocabulary rapidly. If you just need to expand the types of questions you ask to include challenge, courageous, thoughtful and other types of dialogue provokers, this book might help.
The Call
by Os Guinness
If you are more of a transformational or vision type coach, this book might serve you very well. Os takes a look at the biblical concept of calling and applies it to dozens of real life scenarios answering questions like: What is a calling? What if someone has a calling similar to me? How do I stop the voice of doubt as I step into my call? Each chapter closes with a set of questions that serves a coaching dialogue beautifully.
