Top 3 Lessons From An Experienced Christian Executive Coach

By Bertulda Zerna


A Christian Executive Coach has the major advantage of being able to work with many different clients. This allows them to generate collective working by working with different business models and leaders in different niches. During my time as a Christian Executive Coach, I have learned the three following things.

First, most leaders are incredibly lonely in their roles. Each of the leaders that I've worked with have spoken about how hard being on top of the proverbial food chain is. The discuss both internal and external pressures. Everyone around them is in need of something.

Employees never understand the burden and care leaders carry for those they lead. As such, leaders are always managing that balance of not feeling understood while doing everything they can meet the needs of everyone they care about.

Second, leaders often question whether or not they are competent. They have to appear self-confident and must exude both discernment and direction at all times. They constantly wonder whether their efforts are going to fail or succeed. A lot of the people that I have worked with in the past wonder if the masks they wear are transparent.

Finally, leaders and visionaries never find the end. As I have coached Christian executives, I have found that even when they accomplish their goals, they push on to another one. There never seems to be contentment for leaders. There is always another iteration, one more milestone and something else to accomplish. Leaders lead; that is what they do.

One major benefit of working with a Christian executive coach is getting help in finding the perfect path for individual goals while remaining grounded and understanding that you aren't alone. Other people will face many of the same challenges that you are currently facing, albeit in different forums. Understanding this will provide sufficient confidence and assurance for keeping you moving forward.
