Coaching Culture
Whether you are a marketplace or ministry leader (or both) you can come alongside others and help them move toward their best "next" through coaching!
Hi, I'm Cindy Scott, founder and executive director of Bridges Coaching.
Ever wish your conversations could have an upgrade?
What if your conversations were dynamic and transformational?
What if each interaction was like a good movie - where you wondered what the outcome would be?
What if God offered a pathway for us to come alongside people rather than feel like we need to provide answers or provision?
Coach Training offers conversational tools to help people move forward, to discern where God is in their situation, and to partner with them for progress.
If you are serious about walking out your faith and helping others do the same Coach training could be your best next step!
Do you have a desire to help others grow?
If you are in a faith-based leadership position, whether in the marketplace or ministry, a primary goal of your role is to help people grow in maturity and connect with the pathway God has for them.
You can help people take more purposeful steps forward without telling them what to do or being responsible for their outcomes.
Coaching is by far the most powerful method I know for helping others take ownership of their lives and gain traction in the issues that matter most.
Seeing people assess where they are, discern where God wants them to move forward, and some alongside them as a thinking partner, changes everything.
You’ll learn how best to serve and lead people like Jesus did, and by the end of the course, you'll feel confident you know how to equip those around you to pursue everything God has for them.
Who Should Consider Coach Training?
Level up your impact through coaching
In this course, you'll learn...
- ...how to feel confident you’re leading people toward the growth and ownership God has for them!
- ...the best way to decrease the time you spend in repeated conversations about the same things over and over, and increase your effectiveness while freeing up more time!
- ...how leaders can often accidentally (and innocently!) sabotage the growth of the people around them.
What to look for in quality coach training?

"Bridges Coach training has given me a pathway to lead with curiosity. This mindset shift has allowed me to enjoy the journey of another person’s life, helping them toward the clarity they need. So, rather than feeling like I need to drive people to a certain outcome, I have learned to guide the conversation toward where the Holy Spirit is already leading them. Taking coach training offered me opportunities in Executive coaching that would not have been nearly as effective without Bridges Coaching.""
Eric Peoples
Lead Pastor, Executive Coach
"Cindy's content is gold and the process she introduces you to is transforming. The investment of my time and energy in being taught by this seasoned coach-trainer was beyond worth it. I highly recommend Bridges Coaching to anyone wanting to live, lead and coach at another level!"
Joshua Finley
Leadership Speaker & Coach
"Bridges Coaching has been one of the most worthy “yes’s” I have said. From taking the 3 coaching courses to becoming a life coach and course host for Destiny by Design, it has been life-giving, inspiring, and full of growth. It is a privilege to get to walk with people as they discover more of who God is, how He has made them on purpose for a purpose, what He is doing in their hearts and how to walk that out intentionally."
April Lonneville
Bridges Coaching Destiny by Design Course Host
"I’ve come to enjoy this idea of listening with curiosity, and also this idea of resetting – helping people hit a reset button from doing what they’ve always done to shape new paradigms. "

Lead Pastor

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Coaching Culture?
Coaching Culture is coach training offered exclusively by Bridges Coaching that equips you to help others move forward in their lives. Through a unique blend of live content (in the certification course) and in-depth video curriculum, you'll learn the tools of active listening, asking powerful questions, helping people recognize the season they're in, and much more.
How is Bridges' Coach Training different from other courses?
Many live coach training certification courses cost $2,500+ (not including travel expenses and vacation time!) for days of in-person teaching. Most courses require multiple registrations for all that is included in our initial training. Other distance trainings often omit personal, small group interaction. Bridges Coaching certification strikes a uniquely effective balance of teaching, live personal processing, the experience of being coached as well as observed practice coaching with live feedback from your trained facilitator. All the aspects I wanted in my coach training and all in your first level of coach training!
Is Coach Training for me?
If you work with people, you need coach training. Seriously! Whether you're a pastor, businessman, volunteer coordinator, or even a parent dedicated to developing young leaders in your family, coaching is a fundamental skill that helps others move toward their preferred future.
How is Coach Training delivered?
Certification course: over twelve weeks you'll meet with your cohort for three live whole-group classes, and weekly with your facilitator and peer partner to discuss the selected videos and readings for that session. Also during the sessions each week, there will be a mix of personal coaching, and practice coaching as you receive feedback from your facilitator. You'll interact with the whole group in the weekly online forum to process what you're learning. We'll also have regular conversations in a private Facebook group, so you'll need a Facebook account as well.
Video-only course: you'll receive the same video training as the certification course for you to go through at your own pace. The sessions are designed for interaction. If you choose this option, consider asking someone to register with you.
How much time is involved?
The certification course is a serious commitment over the 12 weeks of the course. We recommend you plan to spend about 4 hours per week between reading, watching videos, personal projects, processing what you're learning, and the online meetings.
The video-only course will take quite a bit less time, but we encourage you to slow down, journal, and do the transforming work of applying these lessons to your life - we want you to get the most possible out of the course! (We encourage you to find a partner to register with you and to do the course together if you choose the video option - see below for more details.)
Is there support as I go through the course?
Absolutely! In the certification course, you'll meet weekly with your peer partner and trained facilitator, and they'll walk with you as you learn and apply each lesson. You'll also post often and engage with your cohort in online discussion.
How soon should I register?
This cohort will close as soon as it is filled. Register early to ensure participation in the next cohort!
Are there any deals going on right now?
YES! Early registration offers the best price for each cohort.
Are there payment options?
The one-time investment is our most popular option, but if you prefer monthly payments that offer is available as well. On occasion, we have set up a monthly payment plan on an individual plan staring 10+ months in advance. Contact us directly if interested.
How does the guarantee work?
Anytime within 30 days after you sign up, reach out to support@bridgescoaching.net with a scan or picture of your workbook up to that point. We have never had a refund request, so we'd love to know you fully participated, but either way, we'll refund your full payment right away to the original source of payment.
I have another question - who can I ask?
Shoot us an email at support@bridgescoaching.net - we'd love to help!
Guarantee: 100% money back*
If you're unhappy with Bridges Coach's Coach Training course during the first 30 days, we will give your money back.
We're convinced coach training will be revolutionary in your life and work. As you apply the skills of active listening and partnering with people as they grow in their personal journey with God, we're sure you'll be thankful for this course.
However, if you enter the program and you realize it's not for you, email our awesome support team at support@bridgescoaching.net within 30 days of signing up. Include a scan of your workbook up to that point, and we'll give you a full refund*.
Now, we recognize we're taking a risk. Not only do we make all our video and printed content available to you immediately, but it causes significant problems to break up peer pairs once they're established.
But we would rather take that risk on ourselves, rather than leave you with any question in your mind whether this is a good investment.
BTW, we ask for a scan of your notebook because we're convinced that if you apply the principles we teach, you'll begin to see growth. We want to know you've taken steps toward honestly applying these principles. If you've done that and we're still not a good fit, we'll refund your money.
We believe in coach training, and we have every reason to think you will as well. If we're wrong, you can have your money back.
*Minus expenses paid
