Transformational Coaching for clients that need assistance in coping with stress

Stressful states have become a global pandemic. How do we, Christian coaches, accept the challenge to give an answer to this problem?


When a Christian coach explores client's values, beliefs and emotional states, he has a unique opportunity to work with the client making the agreement to use biblical truth as a beacon for a ship off course in a storm.

This course is a result of the author's own research and coaching practice.

Ella created her own tool for working with Christian beliefs and values while working on her thesis. The scientific basis for creating the tool is derived from several psychological theories. The Biblical approach to transformation lies in renewing our minds and restoring our souls. This coaching approach leverages cognitive appraisal for coping with stress and sets the stage for the combined effect of God's truth and the power of the Holy Spirit.

About the course:

The course consists of two phases:

Phase 1: 4 teleclasses with homework
The program starts with reading. There will be several articles and 4 online teleclasses. The key concepts of the course such as transformation, in particular the Biblical form of it; stressful states, strategies for coping with stress; self directed learning of adults and a few more will be unpacked. In addition to reading, trainees listen and evaluate fragments of recorded transformational coaching. A tool for working with client's values and beliefs and a framework is demonstrated and given for application. Phase 1 is meant to equip trainees for transformational coaching with their own clients
