For pastors
Bring the leadership question you keep coming back to.
A coaching conversation begins with the work in front of you. That might be a decision, a team relationship, a transition, or the way you want to lead in the months ahead.
What to bring
One real question
The decision or situation you keep returning to.
What progress would look like
How you would know the conversation helped.
Your constraints
Time, setting and anything that shapes what is possible.
What to expect
You set the goals
Coaching works on goals you name and own.
You agree the scope
Purpose, length and next steps are settled before beginning.
You decide what is shared
If a board is involved, the sharing agreement comes first.
Privacy and scope
Coaching is a structured space for reflection, goals and action. It is not counseling, therapy, crisis care or legal advice. When a need falls outside coaching, the right step is to name it and point toward the right kind of help.
