How To Use A Christian Executive Coach

By Katy Parfait


Christian leaders are responsible for leading people and executing a particular vision. Because not all leaders and those with visions are skilled at executing or using tactics, they often hire personnel to accomplish those tasks. A Christian Executive Coach is someone who steps in to do same in the life of a leader, serving numerous purposes in respect of the larger picture of goals and objectives.

Though leaders are dedicated to their respective organizations, they, too, have multi-dimensional lives that are important outside of the organization. Leaders have families, friendships and communities that make up the greater whole. One purpose of having a coach is to help create a balance in every aspect of one's life at any given time. The coach will be able to remind the individual about this broader vision.

Secondly, your coach can be your motivation. Primary leaders lead; but, they lead alone. No one is there to make sure they do their job.

If a leader is not at the top of his game, the entire organization will suffer and so will the overall vision. It is impossible for anyone to function at 100% at all times. A coach can be a "life alarm", used to challenge, push and steer an individual in the right direction.

Last but not least, the coach acts as a sounding board. Leaders have many ideas and concepts, but some of these should be left as such. A good coach will help to determine what is a distraction and what is conducive to one's life goals. As much as a person may not like to have an idea of theirs dismissed, everyone needs the reality check sometimes.

Your Christian Executive Coach is an investment you are making in your success. Use them strategically to keep you on course with your objectives. They are your safety net.
