What good did I provide? That question creeps up at the most inopportune moments.  Even the most confident amongst us will wonder from time to time when things don’t meet expectations, or when questions don’t connect or we are distracted.  Prayerful preparation is a key element to being more mindful, aware, and proactive with your coaching clients. 

“I am praying for you.” If you have ever felt the power of prayer at work in your life, hearing those words is gold. Knowing you are being prayed for calms your spirit in trying times and boosts your spirit when you take on new adventures.

How well do you hear God’s voice? From calling confirmation to determining next best steps, discernment is a huge part of your role as a coach. It is the difference between setting an agenda based on what you or your client wants to leading in joining God in what he is already doing.

A way to tell if you are Abiding in Christ is to examine your ongoing commitment to developing godly character and maturity in Christ. Lent is a perfect time to look for blind spots and recommit to being transformed into the image of Christ.
