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 they fail to show up, they fail to lead, the whole organization suffers and ultimately, they will not see their vision accomplished. No leader can be "on" all the time. Use your coach to be your "life alarm". Give them permission to challenge you directly, keep you motivated and keep you on track.

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.

Having a Christian Executive Coach means you have invested in being successful. Be strategic in how you use one to stay in line with your wider goals. This is your safety net.
