The practice of asking powerful que stions helps me become a better listener\, encourage effective problem sol ving\, and honor the agency of the stakeholders with whom I work. I have s een a difference in the effectiveness of my daily conversations since taki ng the course. You don’t have to be a certified coach to start utilizing these useful techniques and mindsets!" -- Kaleb Sutherland\n"Coaching for Everyday Life lifted up many of the key elements that are vital in a coac hing conversation: Establishing the agreement\, listening actively\, utili zing powerful questioning\, evoking awareness\, and facilitating discovery . It encouraged me to continue having the coaching posture as my 'default setting' as I engage people in conversation throughout the day. This means being curious about the person and the situations in which they find them selves. The seminar reminded me how helpful a brief 10-15 minute conversat ion can be in helping a person find their way forward\, especially if they ’re open to being coached. The key for me is asking the other person if they're open to being coached on a topic they're struggling with. Short of that\, actively listening and powerful questioning can still be of great benefit. Your challenge to look for daily opportunities to coach others re minds me to be more aware of the conversations I engage in." -- Charlie Zi mmerman\, PCC LAST-MODIFIED:20260506T171343 LOCATION:Online SUMMARY:Coaching for Everyday Life training URL;VALUE=URI:https://www.elcacoaching.org/events/coaching-for-everyday-lif e-training--379/2026-06-30 ATTACH;FILENAME=Coaching for Everyday Life cover with border.png;FMTTYPE=im age/png:https://dq5pwpg1q8ru0.cloudfront.net/2026/04/30/15/25/16/a045a404- 2982-4939-86b3-3f7974bc4419/Coaching%20for%20Everyday%20Life%20cover%20wit h%20border.png END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
