This faith-based Basic Skills Coach Training equips you to journey with others, help them discern where God is calling them, and support their own empowerment to take meaningful action. You will learn through observation and a variety of examples and resources, as well as through practice in real coaching conversations in live labs, receiving feedback and building confidence as you go. You will develop core coaching competencies that help you accompany others with curiosity, compassion, and trust in the Holy Spirit’s movement.

This coaching skills training consists of nine (9) two-hour sessions and is accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF).

Testimonial:
"I thoroughly enjoyed my recent learning journey during the ELCA Segment 1 and Segment 2 coach training sessions. The experience provided a safe space for me to learn, practice, and refine my coaching skills. The instructors demonstrated excellent modeling of a holistic approach to coaching. One significant aspect that resonated with me was how the process was incarnational and incredibly life-giving." -- Dr. Antony Beckham, President of the Beckham Foundation
