The practice of asking powe rful questions helps me become a better listener\, encourage effective pro blem solving\, and honor the agency of the stakeholders with whom I work. I have seen a difference in the effectiveness of my daily conversations si nce taking the course. You don’t have to be a certified coach to start u tilizing these useful techniques and mindsets!" -- Kaleb Sutherland\n"Coac hing for Everyday Life lifted up many of the key elements that are vital i n a coaching conversation: Establishing the agreement\, listening actively \, utilizing powerful questioning\, evoking awareness\, and facilitating d iscovery. It encouraged me to continue having the coaching posture as my ' default setting' as I engage people in conversation throughout the day. Th is means being curious about the person and the situations in which they f ind themselves. The seminar reminded me how helpful a brief 10-15 minute c onversation 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 pe rson 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 o f great benefit. Your challenge to look for daily opportunities to coach o thers reminds me to be more aware of the conversations I engage in." -- Ch arlie Zimmerman\, PCC LAST-MODIFIED:20260817T162747 LOCATION:Online SUMMARY:Coaching for Everyday Life training URL;VALUE=URI:https://www.elcacoaching.org/events/coaching-for-everyday-lif e-training--392/2026-09-01 ATTACH;FILENAME=Coaching for Everyday Life cover with border.png;FMTTYPE=im age/png:https://dq5pwpg1q8ru0.cloudfront.net/2026/07/20/19/53/30/37f4071a- c1b8-41b6-bc6f-5c03ffa9e261/Coaching%20for%20Everyday%20Life%20cover%20wit h%20border.png END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
