Being A Coach...As An Approach to Leadership

Being A Coach...As An Approach to Leadership

Tuesday, April 28, 2026

This workshop will present key elements of professional coaching and what it means to not just do coaching, but to be a coach in any environment. Participants will learn what coaching is, how it is different from therapy, counseling, mentoring, consulting, and other helping modalities, and will provide the opportunity for participants to practice coaching with each other. Coaching models and frameworks will be introduced, along with key principles of coaching to help ensure understanding of the coaching modality as distinct from other approaches. Participants will be asked to bring a topic to the session around which they would like to be coached – business, personal, or other. Participants are encouraged to download and read in advance two inexpensive initial readings: Hall, Chad. (2015). The Coaching Mindset: 8 Ways to Think Like a Coach. Coach Approach Ministries. Hall, Chad. (2016). Coach the Person, not the Problem. Coach Approach Ministries.
