The Diocese of Fond du Lac and Province V Executive Board
proudly present the Leadership Coaching Project!
Greetings!
We are excited to share that Province V and the Diocese of Fond du Lac are sponsoring the Leadership Coaching Project or LCP. We are grateful to the Roanridge Trust Grant Program for the grant to launch this project. The LCP starts with a cohort of “Coaches-in-Training” to be selected from across Province V. Each trainee receives professional coach training. When trained, each Trained Coach makes the commitment to offer support to clergy and leaders in the dioceses of Province V.
First Cohort
Training will be held on Mondays and Wednesdays 10 am - 1 pm E / 9 am - 12 noon C, September 14 - November 4
We are ready to launch the first cohort!
Leadership Coaching Project Description
Summary
Thank you for considering the Province V Leadership Coaching Project (LCP). The goal is to assist ALL leaders of churches to grow in spirituality and leadership capability. In providing coaches for leaders, the LCP can change the church.
The benefits of coaching are well documented. It creates ministry partnerships to assist leaders in being connected and feeling less isolated. It helps them become stronger leaders in the local context. We know that leaders with coaches are less likely to be frustrated by the demands of parish life and more importantly, better able to guide a parish into future endeavors. Once you complete the training and become a Trained Coach, you will have the skills to assist laity and clergy in developing leadership skills by deep listening, encouragement, and asking powerful questions.
Before applying, review the training, time and coaching commitment sections to help discern your availability to make this commitment. Applicants must recognize the significant time commitment and if you are unable to make this commitment at this time, please do not apply. There will be additional opportunities in the future.
Those recommended by their Bishop may be eligible for a full scholarship of the training cost ($1,900) and are also welcome to cover part or all this cost themselves so that funds can benefit more Coaches in Training.
Training and Time Commitment
The professional services of Chris Holmes, of the Holmes Coaching Group, will be used for training. Learn more at holmescoaching.com. Training will be primarily via Zoom conferencing.
Training takes a commitment of approximately 100 hours for coursework and homework. Service as a Trained Coach takes a commitment of 10-15 hours each month for two years after training.
Pre-Training Preparation (10-15 hours)
Training (70-80 hours)
Coaching Commitment
Trained Coaches who have used financial resources provided through the Province to obtain the training commit to provide coaching to parish and diocesan leaders for at least two years following completion of their training at no charge to those coached. Performance of this coaching commitment involves the following:
Benefits for the Trained Coach
