Major transitions are often seasons of frustration, difficulty and loss. The in-between times when we've lost the old thing and haven't yet moved into the new are difficult to navigate. How do you coach a leader through a major transition?
This two-disc coach training set from master trainer Tony Stoltzfus demonstrates transformational coaching techniques for helping coachees engaging God's purposes for their growth in major life transitions.

This is not a program where you just sit and listen to a lecturer! In each of the eight weekly training sessions, participants listen to a brief teaching from the DVD Set, watch a demonstration of a coaching skill, debrief on what they observed, then do a peer exercise in breakouts where they put what they’ve learned into practice. Half way through the program, peers begin meeting on their own to set growth goals, develop their own action steps, and cheer each other on to growth. It’s a highly interactive, experiential process.
Your group leader will need a Facilitator’s Package to offer the course. An Independent Study version is also available that allows two individuals to build a peer coaching relationship on their own.Click Here for more resources from this author.
