5 Secrets of Success for Christian Coaches

Christian life coaches lead, encourage and inspire. Along with standard coaching services, Christian coaches offer the added dimension of spirituality -- in particular, they draw from teachings of Jesus and the Bible. It is not uncommon for coach and client to pray about the issues at hand both during and between Christian coaching sessions. Besides having the Lord on their side, the best, most effective Christian coaches use the following five techniques:

1. Genuine Encouragement

Words are powerful and impactful; they can build someone up or tear them down. Unfortunately, some Christian coaching clients may have experienced a lot of the latter. Christian coaches are artful at being able to use words to build up their clients in a sincere, genuine, heartfelt way -- never in a "false hope" kind of way.

2. Authenticity

Great Christian coaches are genuine and true to who God has called them to be. They are grateful for their own blessings and strive to bring their unique gifts, talents, experiences and abilities to the session. They may have had challenges themselves, but they learned life lessons and are better and stronger for them. They have had great mentors and leaders in their lives, and they strive to be the same for their clients.

3. They Know Themselves

Christian coaches are highly self-aware. They may take formal assessments, but they are continually growing and improving themselves. They are aware of their own strengths and weaknesses, and this helps them to better assist others in overcoming obstacles and improving.

4. They are Courageous

The Bible is filled with examples of leaders who had to step forward boldly and courageously; Noah, David, Moses, Joshua and Esther are just some examples. Sometimes effective Christian coaching requires being firm or even stern. The best Christian coaches know when to be bold with their clients, and they have the courage to do it.

5. They Are Change-Agents

Life coaches help people to clarify their dreams and goals, as well as overcome obstacles that stand in their way. The best Christian coaches hold a vision of their clients as the best they can be, even if the client can't see it yet. They help clients to become their very best selves, grounded in a strong relationship with God.
