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.

Running an organization is bound to come with challenges. There are ethical dilemmas that you're going to face on a regular basis. Leaders are trapped between their responsibility to others and the possibility of failing. You have to keep pressing on, take plenty of risks and overcome the obstacles that lie in your way, but, you may not always be able to see you path. This path may even be filled with complex questions that lack a "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.

Your coach can also make sure that you aren't settling by making easy choices for simple goals instead of tough choices for more ambitious ones, but rather, that you're constantly striving for more impressive outcomes.

There are many coaches for Christian executives. These professionals can meet up with you on the web, in-person or even on the phone. It is important to find a professional who understands your values, your vision and your goals and who can respectfully help you move towards these things.
