Just in Time Coaching

Many times we don't know what it is that we need to know until we are in the midst of a situation. This is especially true for clergy who may face very different demands going from one congregational setting to another. Coaching is an ideal way to get collaborative support and learning as you need it. In the appreciative coaching relationship you will discover and develop your own unique strengths and ways of meeting the challenges of daily life and ministry.

Our Coaching Agenda

We don't believe it is possible to be agenda free in any aspect of life, including coaching. Part of our agenda is not to impose our agenda on our clients. We also want you to make an informed decision about coaching so you can read our agenda before making a decision to get coaching from us.

Types of Coaching We Provide

Appreciative Coaching can be used in a variety of settings and for many purposes. Here are just some of the types of coaching we provide.

Clergy Coaching

We have provided coaching to newly ordained clergy all the way through to experienced clergy and Bishops. They have also come from a wide variety of denominations and backgrounds.

Leadership Development

See About Us and Leadership Training to understand our approach to leadership development. We often provide ongoing coaching for people who have gone through our leadership programs.

Career Coaching

Dr. Kim Voyle is the director of Pathfinders Career Services and is able to assist people to discover and align their vocations with their authentic core sense of self and their values.

Personal Life Coaching

Writer Parker Palmer expresses our thinking in this area when he said:
"The life I am living is not the same as the life that wants to live in me.
Life Coaching helps you align your passion, purpose, and values to create a life that is an authentic expression of the life that is deep within you.

Spiritual Coaching, or Spiritual Direction

Clarifying your understanding and relationship with God - the Source of your Life and Being is a foundational aspect of creating a life that is truly life-giving and worth living.

Organizational Coaching

See Organizational Coaching and Consultation for the organizational coaching that we provide.

Coaching is not Psychotherapy

Note: Coaching is not an alternative to psychotherapy. In the coaching process we describe some of the differences between psychotherapy and coaching. We do not provide psychotherapy by telephone.
