Christian Life Coaching Handbook: Calling and Destiny Discovery Tools for Christian Life Coaching
This handbook is part of a three-volume set on life purpose discovery. Each has a unique purpose:A Leader's Life Purpose Workbookis for those who want to discover their own life purpose. It includes a  destiny model and 60 self-discovery exercises, giving you everything you need to fill any gaps in your self-understanding. You'll end up with  a personal purpose statement and a clear idea of how to start moving toward your calling.The Christian Life Coaching Handbookis for the life coach. It takes the concepts and exercises in the workbook and uses sample dialogs, examples and coaching exercises to show you how to help others find their life purpose.The Calling Journeyis a life-mapping tool that offers an in-depth look at how God moves us  toward our calling over time. There are different seasons and stages in  life, and knowing what stage you are in gives you a huge leg up on how to engage God and make the most of that time. This book helps you construct a personal timeline of your journey and see how God has worked  through it each step of the way.RationaleI created  this set for two key reasons. First, I wanted to provide a full set of destiny discovery exercises all in one place for the Christian coach. Second and most important, I felt that the Christian coaching movement had not adequately grounded many of our key practices in a biblical framework. I've worked to bring biblical concepts like calling ("an external commission from God for others"), how call is reveal and formed  through suffering, and pursuing heaven instead of earthly rewards into the mainstream of what Christian coaches do.How This Fits with My Other Coaching BooksLeadership  Coaching is the book to start with to learn how to coach. It covers the  basic coaching values and mindset, how to carry on a coaching conversation and basic concepts like goals and actions. TheChristian Life Coaching Handbookbuilds on this foundation, with a set of coaching tools specific to life purpose discovery. And while you coach others using techniques from theHandbook, the companionLeader's Life Purpose Workbookputs the destiny exercises right in the coachee's hands.Coaching Questionsis a reference guide to a plethora of coaching techniques (for experienced coaches), and a great aid to questions for those who are just learning. With over 1400 example questions arranged around the coaching tools they are used with, this book can help you coach like a pro from the start.I also have a variety of CDs and training products from Coach22 on Amazon. Coaching is an art, and one of the best ways to learn is to listen to an experienced coach at work. If you want to grow as a coach, listen in on a set like Coaching Transitions to catch the flow of a real  coaching conversation.
