LifeWorks Coaching

Coaching is a transformational conversation that helps people

grow faster, understand themselves more deeply and live

out God’s purpose with great effectiveness and fulfillment.

What is Coaching?

Coaches are change experts who help you develop a unique solution that works for your

individual situation.

What is Coaching?

Coaching is about how we communicate as much about what is done.

Coaching delivers results because of the supportive relationship between the coach and the coachee, and the means and style of communication used.

The coachee acquires the facts, not from the coach but from within him or herself, stimulated by the coach.

How the coachee improves skills is the question.

Christian coaching is an approach to the practice of professional coaching, which integrates the biblical worldview when working with clients to

recognize their potential and effect personal change. “
