Understand The Value Of A Christian Executive Coach

By Lyndon Zerna


People often find that leadership is surprisingly lonely. You and you alone are responsible for having vision, good direction and the ability to execute your plans. You are responsible for waking up motivated each morning. There won't be anyone to tell you where you should be. You will have to set your own deadlines. No one is going to be there to bail you out when troubles arise. Everything is up to you. You can get help in reaching your goals by working with Christian executive coaches.

The process of running a full-scale organization comes with inherent challenges. There are a number of ethical questions that you'll invariably face. You will be sandwiched between the demands of responsibility and the prospect of failing. You have to keep moving forward, take risks and move beyond these challenges, however, the path may not be as clear as you'd like it to be. You'll probably face a number of complex questions along the way, and some may not have a definitive right answer.

God is understanding of this struggle that we face. In fact, He is so understanding that he advised us to find wise counsel, and a Christian executive coach could well be the right counsel for Christian executives. One issue is that a lot of leaders pride themselves as being self-sufficient. They can see the road that will get them where they want to be and can secure the resources and motivation that is necessary for traversing this road. As such, few tend to seek coaching. One thing to know is that no one is capable of effectively identifying all of his or her blind spots.

A Christian exercutive coach has the ability to function as a mirror for his or her clients. Rather than taking over direction or vision, this professional will challenge you to make decisions that are wholly aligned with what you support and believe, and your goals.

Additionally, coaches will challenge leaders to not settle for easy choices in tough decisions and simple goals; rather, they will stretch Christian leaders to push their capacity and objectives to meet bigger goals and outcomes.

There are many coaches for Christian executives. These professionals can meet up with you on the web, in-person or even on the phone. It is important to find a professional who understands your values, your vision and your goals and who can respectfully help you move towards these things.
