A COACHING FRAMEWORK

As iron sharpens iron, one man sharpens another. ( Proverbs 27:17 )

Learning

Reflect on what you have learnt and applied from the Generations Training. Review previous ‘Engage’ action steps.

• In what ways have you sensed the Holy Spirit at work in your life since our last conversation?
• What happened as you trusted God with your goals from our last meeting?
• What feelings did you have during this experience?
• How would you do things differently in the future?
• Show the health diagram of your network of missional communities and churches.

Insight

Explore insights from what you have learnt. Encourage discovery, self-evaluation, and Holy Spirit insights. Ask lots of open questions.

• What have you tried in the past that has helped you?
• What would help you move forward?
• What ideas does this spark?
• What is the Holy Spirit saying?
• What are the other factors influencing this situation?
• Who/what else could help you?

Future Steps

Identify obstacles or barriers. Brainstorm helpful future steps that are achievable.

• What are the obstacles?
• What would stop you from doing that?
• What can you do to move forward on this?
• What’s the best first step you can take?
• What else could you do?
• How do these future steps relate to your goal of living the EMC lifestyle?
• What can you do differently in preparation?

Engage

Narrow down future steps into 2-3 specific actionable steps. Set time frames for steps to be achieved.

• Which of these options would you like to do? How? When?
• What’s the best first step you can take?
• How confident are you at completing these before the next session?
• What would be a good time-frame for you to complete this?
