Coaching is a skill set that supplements mentoring, discipleship, and even counseling to multiply the impact of a leader. It enhances leadership skills by using a non-directive approach, coming alongside someone so that he or she can accomplish God’s purpose for his or her life through a simple coaching plan. The training encourages leaders to consider changing “hats” (roles you play like pastor, leader, mentor, father, etc.) in a given situation and intentionally use the “coaching hat” to develop leaders and empower others.

Generational Mapping Coaching Tool

The GMCT or Generational Mapping Coaching Tool can be used to capture the key details from a quarterly coaching conversation. It can be used with church planters to help them measure the health of the group(s) they are working with. It can also be used to help them develop goals and action steps for the next three months. These goals form the framework in which a trained coach can have ongoing conversations with the church planter in coaching sessions over the next three months. The coach regularly meets with the church planter to encourage, support, and hold him/her accountable as he/she seeks to meet the three-month goals and action steps he/she has set for his/her church plant(s).
