Coaching for Calling

Aligning Spiritual Gifts & Personality Strengths

This course provides the tools for coaches working with clients who are trying to discern the call of God on their lives, who wish to explore what brings meaning and satisfaction in their lives and in service of others. Students will learn to help clients examine their unique God given design as well as life experiences, which serve as clues to calling.

As part of this class, students will learn how to use two assessments that will allow them to first explore their own strengths and gifting’s and how to use them to enhance their work with clients.

These assessments focus on two aspects of human beings, the mind and the Spirit.

Utilizing The PeopleMap Systems Personality assessment students will learn how their in-born strengths show up in all their communications. The lesser strengths or Achilles heels will also be examined and strategies to transform these areas into learned skills will be taught and applied.

Strategies for managing their strengths and Achilles heels will give students an additional coaching tool when working with clients who need a clearer vision of who they are and who God made them to be.

Testimonials

I loved this class. Mary radiated commitment, intelligence, and empathy, not to mention resilience and grace in the face of a massive family challenge. I would take a class from her whenever possible. Her wisdom and experience is something to aspire to.

After having taken other spiritual/faith based courses with ILCT and Professional Christian Coaching Institute, I will say that Mary’s class was the most impactful. . . She has a way of offering her feedback that makes one say, “Wow, I never considered that, or what if I consider this, or that’s a brilliant concept that I might want to apply in my coaching.”
