Do you get tired of telling others what they need to do?

Imagine the difference in your relationships if you were asking powerful questions and listening instead of giving direction and telling. Coaching helps alleviate the stress of relationships. The article What is Christian Life Coaching? (Christianlifecoaching.com) gives a good word picture of coaching: "Coaches are more like detectives than mentors, disciplers, consultants, or counselors...they don't show up with answers; they don't teach, model, advise, or guide. Detectives question, they probe and dig, search for clues, form hypotheses, and work hunches. And through this process of intentional inquiry and clarification, they draw out answers.

If  you are in the people business, you will encounter those who are dealing with life issues. Coaching gives you the tools to help them navigate through life changes by drawing out the answers from the clients themselves. Coaching puts ownership of growth and results directly upon the client. So, let's ask a coaching question.
