Greatness demands intentionality. 

We are trusted advisors and chief encouragers to some of the highest-caliber disciple-makers around the world. And we don’t take this honor lightly––serving ministry leaders, like you, is a privilege. When the pastor’s, non-profit leaders, and ministry executives we serve share with us their most significant needs we hear things like: 

• Wise counsel for delicate decisions 
• Problem-solving when you feel stuck 
• Encouragement when you feel weary 
• Guidance when the road feels lonely 
• Celebration when God answers prayers 

 

If you can relate to any of those needs, it might be time for an executive ministry coach. But what exactly is a ministry coach and how do you find one that’s right for you? 

An executive ministry coach unlocks a person’s potential to maximize their performance. Executive Coaching creates awareness, generates action, and facilitates learning and growth. According to Stanford Business, “it focuses on improving performance by helping individuals to develop and sustain new perspectives, attitudes, skills, and behaviors.” 

A good executive coach has walked a mile in your shoes and can lift your arms when you need extra support. 

Here are 3 things to look for in an executive ministry coach: 

• Hands-On Approach- You need a coach who doesn’t just follow a script or read from a handbook, you need someone to get in the trenches with you. 

• Holistic Solutions- A pep talk will only take you so far. You need solutions beyond a conversation. Make sure you find a coach using data-driven, behavioral solutions that can be implemented throughout your organization. 

• Heart-Felt Convictions- Find a coach who will focus on your unique leadership strengths and constraints while also maximizing your influence. You need a coach who will help you level up your leadership but with heart-felt convictions.
