The practice of asking powerful questio ns helps me become a better listener\, encourage effective problem solving \, and honor the agency of the stakeholders with whom I work. I have seen a difference in the effectiveness of my daily conversations since taking t he course. You don’t have to be a certified coach to start utilizing the se useful techniques and mindsets!" -- Kaleb Sutherland\n"Coaching for Eve ryday Life lifted up many of the key elements that are vital in a coaching conversation: Establishing the agreement\, listening actively\, utilizing powerful questioning\, evoking awareness\, and facilitating discovery. It encouraged me to continue having the coaching posture as my 'default sett ing' as I engage people in conversation throughout the day. This means bei ng curious about the person and the situations in which they find themselv es. The seminar reminded me how helpful a brief 10-15 minute conversation can be in helping a person find their way forward\, especially if they’r e 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 tha t\, actively listening and powerful questioning can still be of great bene fit. Your challenge to look for daily opportunities to coach others remind s me to be more aware of the conversations I engage in." -- Charlie Zimmer man\, PCC LAST-MODIFIED:20260803T193955 LOCATION:Online SUMMARY:Coaching for Everyday Life training URL;VALUE=URI:https://www.elcacoaching.org/events/coaching-for-everyday-lif e-training--405/2027-07-13 ATTACH;FILENAME=Coaching for Everyday Life cover with border.png;FMTTYPE=im age/png:https://dq5pwpg1q8ru0.cloudfront.net/2026/08/04/00/35/17/774e5354- a664-4199-bf03-5517a13f4f2e/Coaching%20for%20Everyday%20Life%20cover%20wit h%20border.png END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
