Launching a Life Coaching Center in Your Church:
A Crash Course with the Experts
Drs. K. Brazelton and L. Nolan
Abstract
Do you have a God-led, passionate desire to launch a Life Coaching Center in your church, but the thought of it is overwhelming to you? Why start from scratch? This highly interactive, multi-media workshop presents strategic tools, demos, and practical exercises to equip you to accomplish your godly goal. It utilizes the hands-on experience of Drs. Katie Brazelton and Lendell Nolan, who can reveal the unique opportunities and challenges related to coaching in church environments. Take advantage of the coaching style with which they'll help you cast denominational vision and secure pastoral buy-in. Let them give you useable statistics and chat with you about your church budget, a myriad of coach-training opportunities to fit your church's needs, daily logistics of a Coaching Center, topic-driven niche coaching add-ons, and church pricing versus how you protect your private-practice pricing. Leave with knowledge, practical applications, and a formula of how you'll launch your church's Coaching Center.
Learning Objectives
Participants will:
1. Be able to articulate and manage the importance of vision alignment between God, their denomination, their local church, and their own goals in regard to life coaching.
2. Identify different ways to market to church clients and bill clients in a church setting, while managing their own private, coaching business in partnership with their church-based, Coaching Center.
3. Explore the strategies and wisdom of starting small with low-cost probes and then following the Law of Two Creations (mental and physical realities)-taking the church from a "cubicle-run" mentality of one male and one female coach to actual church coaching space, furniture, clear signage, approved curriculum, and the training of additional coaches.
