COACH

For the last two days I've been at the MaxPath Coach training thru Coach Approach Ministries.  

Coaching is a new wave of ministry.  It differs from consulting, counseling and mentoring in that coaching raises productivity more than four times over the other methods.  The person being coached decides what their course of action will be rather than being told by the counselor or mentor. The chances of them acting on their own realized course is far greater than simply being shown it by someone else.  The person being coached is guided toward a result and course of action through questions asked by the coach.

These two days were fascinating and I hope to put some of my new learned skills into practice soon.  Maybe on my wife.

And be blessed.

Sounds like Motivational Interviewing (a counseling "approach" that I embrace, but identical to the approach taken by Doug Pollock when he spoke about his book "God Space" at Journey a while back).
