Leadership Coaching Project
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.

Best Coaching Models to Know, from July 2021 meeting

Michael Bungay Stanier - The Coaching Habit and The Advice Trap: He’s very pragmatic and humorous (heard him speak several times - check him out on YouTube). His books are super easy to read but very impactful.
