Active Coaches:
David Carlisle *
David Carlisle works for the Episcopal Diocese of Northern Michigan, and a Benedictine in formation with the Canon Communities of Saint Benedict (https://osbcn.org/). He focuses on how coaching can help individuals grow into the kind of community members they are called to be, as well as in how team and group coaching can help a community grow into its vocation in the world. He believes that the Benedictine way of Christian formation through commitment, mutual listening, and transformation of life (traditionally called stability, obedience, and conversion of life) overlaps a great deal with the Christian coaching relationship, and that both processes can offer an authentic path to abundant life in community.

Janet Grace Cook
Janet is a lifelong Episcopalian, and a lay leader at St. James in Dexter, Michigan. One of Janet’s favorite quotes is from Rachel Naomi Remen: "Listening creates holy silence. When you listen generously to people, they can hear truth in themselves, often for the first time. And in the silence of listening you can know yourself in everyone." Janet worked with this truth in her 30+ years as a dental hygienist where she co-created hundreds of deep connections with her patients. Each was an opportunity to see people as whole, creative and resourceful. Janet and her husband John seek revitalization at the beaches of Lake Michigan, a trait they have passed down to their two adult daughters. She enjoys cooking, baking bread, kayaking and reading. Janet seeks the holiness in Beauty found in nature, art and fellow humans.

Heather Barta
Heather Barta is passionate about how coaching can transform an individual or group as they make goals to move into the future. When she first experienced a coach training, she intuitively imagined a church where every leader has a coach. She can imagine the confidence and support that leaders can have with the support of a coach. Church leadership is hard, overwhelming, and sometimes heartbreaking. A coach deeply listens to a leader while encouraging them to follow their heart and their gut. Regular coaching invites accountability and the ability to be flexible, to try faster and fail, and to then try yet another idea. In her free time, Heather spends her time riding horses, reading, and knitting while watching movies and TV.

Robin Woodberry
Formerly served 25 years as a Baptist Minister and am now a postulant for holy orders for the Episcopal Church in the diocese of Ohio. I know firsthand what it’s like to feel as if you’re going through your ministry and calling all alone. I hope to use my experience and coaching skills to help others rise above the things they face seemingly alone so they can be all that God has called them to be for the sake of themselves, the ministry and the world.
