The practice of asking powerful questions helps me become a better listener\, encourage effective problem solving\, and ho nor the agency of the stakeholders with whom I work. I have seen a differe nce in the effectiveness of my daily conversations since taking 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 Lif e lifted up many of the key elements that are vital in a coaching conversa tion: Establishing the agreement\, listening actively\, utilizing powerful questioning\, evoking awareness\, and facilitating discovery. It encourag ed me to continue having the coaching posture as my 'default setting' as I engage people in conversation throughout the day. This means being curiou s about the person and the situations in which they find themselves. The s eminar reminded me how helpful a brief 10-15 minute conversation 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\, activ ely listening and powerful questioning can still be of great benefit. Your challenge to look for daily opportunities to coach others reminds me to b e more aware of the conversations I engage in." -- Charlie Zimmerman\, PCC LAST-MODIFIED:20260430T103040 LOCATION:Online SUMMARY:Coaching for Everyday Life training URL;VALUE=URI:https://www.elcacoaching.org/events/coaching-for-everyday-lif e-training--380/2026-08-04 ATTACH;FILENAME=Coaching for Everyday Life cover with border.png;FMTTYPE=im age/png:https://dq5pwpg1q8ru0.cloudfront.net/2026/04/30/15/30/39/df0cf3a8- 7a8f-40e4-8587-41536de8e442/Coaching%20for%20Everyday%20Life%20cover%20wit h%20border.png END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
