Are You One of These 5/6 Types of People?
Are there professional life coaches? Of course!
But the majority of people who take coach training are:
- Businessmen - looking for leadership develpment
- Ministers - wanting to make disciples, not foster dependents
- Parents - of both young children and adult children
- Friends - who people come to with their stuff
- Followers of Jesus - who are hoping to make a kingdom impact
I guess what I am saying is you don't have to want to be a professional coach to consider coach training!
Do you have an ed allowance? This could be the right investment!

I've had more than one businessman take the course to level up their leadership and experienced a change in their relationship with their adult children. We've seen ministers take the course to better serve their congregation...

- Give to everyone who asks ~ Don’t throw your pearls before swine
- Don’t take anything with you ~ Prepare well
- Be the head and not the tail ~ Be the servant of all
- Be angry and sin not ~ Be at peace with all men
You get the picture. Even the same situation in a different season of your life will require new discernment
The Bible points us to a...
Why You Should You HALT Before You Move Forward?
[Tips and Tools Series]
I first heard this acronym from Josh Finley, my pastor at the time, and it stuck with me.
It makes total sense, but when you are in the middle of stuff - these tips are not usually our first go-to for some reason.
When we feel like this picture we probably all need to HALT and if you are coaching someone who feels like this, the most useful questions for them could be HALT type questions.
(I did a little research and can't give credit to any one source for HALT - so if you know where it originated please let me know!)
H- stands for hungry. Simple right? But if you have ever fasted or had to go without food for whatever reason, you know that hunger can cloud your judgment and things feel a LOT different and more manageable when you have had a good meal!
A- is for angry. If you have some unresolved issues, dealing with your anger will keep you from depression or aggression!
