Coaching 101 - Ch 1

This chapter gets more into what coaching is and what success is. To summarize, success means finding out what God wants you to do and doing it. A coach comes alongside a person to help them listen to God and respond. That means that we trust in a person's ability to hear from the Spirit, and that on a deeper level they may have a sense of what they need to do, so we need to help draw that out of them. Which leads me back to Proverbs 20:5: The purposes of a man's heart are deep waters, but a man of understanding draws them out.

The coaching process involves 5 R's(The following is from Coaching 101: Discover the Power of Coaching. Robert E. Logan and Sherilyn Carlton. ChurchSmart Resources. 2003. p.29):

* Relate - Establish coaching relationships and agenda
* Reflect - Discover and explore key issues
* Refocus - Determine priorities and action steps
* Resource - Provide support and encouragement
* Review - Evaluate, celebrate, and revise plans
