Kenotic Conversations for Growth and Change

Relate

The nature and quality of the coaching relationship directly effects the client's growth. Explore how to relate authentically and with virtue to accelerate growth.

Structure

Rooted in a postive theology of humanity, coaches leverage the concept of structure to avoid evaluating, diagnosing, or problem solving.

Flying

Coaching and coaching relationships, like flying, have a takeoff, navigate, and land phase, each with unique priorities.

Listening

Coaching relies heavily on the coach's ability to listen by replacing their akenotic listening habits with kenotic habits.

Asking
