Wondering how a coach can be helpful to you as you lead a New Episcopal Community? Have a look at our guide for some tips on how to find and work with a coach. If you get stuck or need some help, let us know how to help! Coaching Guide Be sure to agree on terms of payment, frequency of conversations and coaching methods. When considering a coach, it is highly recommended that you reach out to several and find a good fit for you. They will be more directive, often based on success in starting new ministries themselves and coaching those who have. Others use “content-rich” coaches, who are more like consultants. Some our mission developers use “content-free” coaches, people who help you focus your work, hold you accountable and help you discover your strengths and weaknesses. They are here to help you!Ĭoaching can take different forms as well. The best coaches are outside of your local and diocesan context and are not a part of any supervisory loop. A good coach will help you focus your work, keep you encouraged and on the right track.
