Coaching

David Lyle is of the best listeners
I know. Some people are all about
destination. Others are only
concerned with the journey. David
is one of the few that blend both
skill and passion and helps leaders
better understand how to make a
difference where God has placed them.

Coaching enables transformation.
Great coaches come alongside
leaders so that leaders can be
transformed into the image of
Christ.
Tim Roehl defines C. O. A. C. H.

Comes alongside - as one who wants
the best for both the person and the
project,
Observes carefully - with the objective
view of a specialist.
Asks questions wisely - and resists
being a 'teller.'
Communicates options and resources
helping think beyond first 'visible'
impressions to other viable options
Holds accountability (and care for the
heart) so that leaders can grow
personally, improve performance,
and solve problems for maximum
effectiveness.

Coaching must focus on four areas, helping the leader clarify calling,
cultivate character, create community, and connect with culture.
