Christian Coaching

I once heard that coaching is: "Coaching is the discipline of helping people grow without telling them what to do." In my book a have a quote from Anthony Grant "Coaching is a collaborative, solution-focused, result-orientated and systematic process in which the coach facilitates the enhancement of work performance, life experience, self-directed learning and personal growth of individuals."

That sure sounds complicated and I like the first and simple version. Basically its helping someone towards a place they would like to go without telling them what to do. That would make you a Christian Life Consultant and not a Christian Life Coach.

Here are a few of the things that I have seen people do in their lives with Christian Coaching:

- Living the life designed for them by God
- Feeling improvements in work / life balance
- Moving past procrastination
- Increasing your self-confidence and building a healthier self-esteem
- Taking control of their weight
- Being more motivated, driven & inspired
- Living a Christ-centered life with more joy, enthusiasm, and happiness
- Starting and succeeding at your new Business or Job

As I awoke thst morning I decided that today was going to be a special day, a day of change, and a day of growth that would rival any in my past.

To let you know what lead me to this let me share one man's testimonial about what has happened in his own life. I hope that you will find it interesting enough to not only finish reading, but that you will also look into life coaching options on your own.

I was in a rut. It is as simple as that, nothing complicated, or even very special about my situation. Millions of people the world over suffer from the same self imposed limitations that I was living with. I felt stifled by the rules and restrictions society had placed upon me from birth.

I disliked my job, my co-workers, my neighbors, even my church and God!

It had gotten to the point where I was even willing to lay blame for my problems (as I saw them), on those closest to me. Fortunately, God opened my eyes and ears, to the get a hold of someone I hadn't spoken with in a long time.
As I remembered the first time we had meet I was like I was there again, I felt amazed by the fact that I had been hearing the same thing all my life, from others, and the message had never taken root in my mind or, more importantly, my soul.
Until I stopped long enough to really listen to what was being said. I mean really listen, not just hear and ignore inconvenient truths and facts as I usually did.
I have to admit, that a part of my interest was purely based on his ability to keep captivate my attention when, but that was just what made me sit up and listen, it was what I heard that changed my life. I was hearing about what were to me, new terms and concepts, new ways to look at the world, and my place in it.
From discussions about building self esteem, to developing skills for self management, self motivation, and even developing plans for financial and personal victory in life. Now, I know exactly what you are thinking, you've heard it all before, in many places, sold by many faces, the same thing over and over and over.

What made a difference for me, in my life, was how it all went back to Christ with him. It was noticing the difference between life coach, and Christian life coach, between victory, and Christian victory, and success and Christian success.

Such a small change could not possibly have any major effect, or so you would think.
With the Christian perspective it was all made clearer , and all of a sudden, my attitude towards the world around me changed nearly 180 degrees. From tired, depressed, and uninterested, I was transformed almost overnight, into a well of positive energy with a solid grasp of where I was, where I really wanted to be, and a realistic plan for how to get there.
I was lost, wandering for years in a fog of self doubt and self loathing that nothing and nobody could penetrate, until I found a new solution, a solution straight from God. ChristianLife Coaching !!

And then we come to today, and my inspiration for writing this.

I not only got a Christian Coach but I became a Christian Coach myself.

All the popular catch phrases are out there and available for use...self motivation, building self esteem, self improvement, but all of the concepts behind those words are so much easier to grasp when you have an experienced guide who is not only willing to teach, but led by the hand of God.

So now I offer a friendship with you to start this same journey.
