Coaching is a partnership relationship. Unlike counseling, where the counselor is perceived to provide answers and direction, coaching holds that you are capable of discovering the answers to the significant questions relevant to your need. Our task, as a coach, is to ask the right questions to help you explore and define what’s relevant. Together, as partners, we’ll clear the fog and distractions so you can see the path ahead and “advance with focus.”

Coaching is an incremental process. The purpose is to help you clarify where you are presently, where you are intended to go, and what actions are to be taken to get there. Each talk between coach and client ends with a summary of key discoveries and steps you see as important. Each talk begins from the perspective the client has gained, actions taken, and questions raised since the previous session. Coaching helps clients clarify near-term, mid-term, and long-term “milestones” as they take the journey ahead.

Distinctions of Clarity Christian Coaching

This is the “Full Disclosure” section! If you hire one of us, you can count on:

– Biblical Foundation. Scripture will not only be referenced, it will be the mooring to which our questions, growth, and direction are tied.

– Spiritual Formation. It’s just the passion of our lives to help people “connect the dots” between their belief and their reality. Integrating those two usually gets to the subject of spiritual formation – the process of Christ being formed within us. Don’t be surprised if Romans 8:29 and Galatians 4:19 are quoted more than once.

– Questions, not counsel. There may be times when you’ll ask about the “why” of your situation, obstacles, or heartache. There may be some baggage to unpack. If so, we will keep your destination in view. You can trust that the questions asked will be considerate, caring and connected only to what matters for your journey forward.

– Challenges, not advice. There may be times when you get stuck (in emotions or thoughts), or confused (those “fork-in-the-road” moments). Advice would be profoundly unhelpful at those times. Instead we will challenge perceptions or other root obstacles to help you bring the matter into focus.
