Coaching for Christian Leaders
Coaching skills offer a powerful way to equip others and multiply your leadership! The short course Coaching for Christian Leaders is a week-long course designed to stretch, inform, inspire and offer practical ways forward. Designed by Dr. Keith Webb of Creative Results Management, the course has been used to train church planters all around the world.
This short course is designed to develop coaching skills and will be especially useful for anyone who is coaching leaders. The skills you will learn will also help in everyday conversations and in the way that you work with teams or in meetings. This short course focuses on pioneer church planters and fresh expressions leaders, so the course is deliberately biased towards that setting. It will also be useful for anyone in Christian leadership.
During the week at Cliff College, there is time for personal reflection and social space. Teaching will be delivered via lectures, seminars, and workshops with practical as well as theoretical applications. The short course aims to enable new learning, provide the student with skills and resources for both individual and church applications, and is extremely practical.

The course will focus on:
- skilled listening
- the COACH model as an approach to coaching conversations
