Take your next step.

Leadership Coaching  

I CAN HELP YOU TAKE YOUR ‘NEXT STEP’ 

  • Deeper perspective on your current opportunities and challenges. 

  • Helpful guidance as you change, grow and seek new discoveries in life.

  • Emotional support throughout difficult and critical transitions (job, career, family, interpersonal, retirement, bereavement) 

  • Empower you to apply your own intellectual, emotional and creative resources and find your own solutions.

COACHING BASICS

As a personal coach, I will help you:

  • peel away layers of confusion, 

  • see things with fresh eyes, 

  • generate new options and 

  • confidently choose a way forward.

Whatever the next step may be for you, I’ll help you bring CLARITY, ACTION and  PROGRESS into your life situation.

MY APPROACH TO COACHING

After a 40-year career as a pastor, missionary, and theology professor, I coach leaders who are ready to take the next step, personally or professionally.

I understand that in a world of competing priorities, it can be difficult to take time to focus on yourself. My one-on-one approach follows a 3-step process of finding clarity, taking action, and making progress. These steps are part of a curriculum where we will set clear goals and track results as we continue on the journey together.

  • In an ever-changing and always-demanding world, you can start to feel like you are no longer in control. You realize you need to act in new ways but need clarity on where to begin. My coaching curriculum gives you back control and helps identify a starting point. Each conversation begins by discussing your needs for that given session, whether it means revisiting a previous conversation or starting out on a new goal altogether. I will help you break through the daily noise and focus on clear opportunities and the barriers that are getting in your way.

  • Navigating ambiguity is hard and no one should have to do it alone. You need a reliable sounding board who can help you put the necessary steps in place to help you move forward. When I meet with someone, I ask questions to prompt next steps and create an action plan that is designed just for them.

  • As with any new undertaking, it can be easy to give up or loose motivation. My coaching process of six intentional conversations helps clients stay on track and assess progress overtime. We celebrate the wins along the way, big or small, which helps keep you going and continue to take the next step.

real life examples

It can be hard to know where to begin. Below are examples of how I have helped people tackle real-world issues and delivered results.

“As a result of Rich’s coaching, we have increased our client relationships and our capacity to serve those clients well. For the first time in a great while, I am enjoying a season of working on our business and not just in it.”

— Business Owner

“Rich asked the right questions and made keen observations. Ministry is often confusing, but I’m clearer than ever about my sense of call and about how I approach the work to which God has called me.”

— Local Pastor

“In the past few months I’ve made more consistent progress with my most important priorities than any previous time I can remember. I’m feeling encouraged!”
