Understand The Value Of A Christian Executive Coach

By Lyndon Zerna


Leadership is lonely. You are responsible for vision, direction and execution. No one will wake you up in the morning. No will tell you where to be. No one will give you a deadline. No one will bail you out in a pinch. It is all you. Christian Executive Coaches can help you navigate rough waters and accomplish your goals.

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 good Christian Executive Coach will act as a tremendous mirror for leaders. They will not take over a vision and direction; rather, Christian coaches challenge leaders in the decisions they make to insure that they are in alignment not only with their goals but also with their values.

Moreover, coaches can challenge Christian leaders to move beyond easy choices and simple goals and to push past their objectives and currently capacity to attain larger and more impressive goals and outcomes.

You have access to many different Christian executive coaches. You can connect with them via the web, the phone or through an in-person meeting. It is vital, however, to align yourself with a professional who has a clear understanding of your vision, your goals and your beliefs and who can assist you driving towards these things.
