InFocus Resources

Sorting through the Noise!

There is no shortage of training & resources today. Domestically and internationally, opportunities abound with the connectivity that technology & travel provide; there is no reason why emerging leaders or seasoned veterans should not receive the help they need.

I’m constantly asking the question – how can I help others become more effective leaders so that we can develop more and better disciples, leaders & churches? In that quest to refine and improve I’ve found certain resources that deliver the results that make a difference.

Following are some or the resources that are uniquely suited for a coaching relationship and consistent with the distinct approach I take.

How are coaching resources different?

Books, seminars, webinars, conferences and educational programs are content heavy. I like the idea of attending a conference or reading a book and then having the opportunity to de-brief the information with another person or group. That allows the information to be unpacked in a relevant and relational manner. By themselves these are all wonderful resources but they are different from “coaching” resources in significant ways.

Coaching resources are weighted heavily on the implementation of actions to be taken.
Coaching resources provide a framework, strategic information and questions for reflection.
Coaching resources are developed with a leader in mind who is being coached individually or in a team.
Coaching resources are developed by experts for leaders that need someone to facilitate the self-discovery process, not a consultant.
Coaching resources are reproducible so that other coaches can use them with some training.
