Need A Coach - Part 3

Listen to advice and accept instruction, and in the end you will be wise.
Proverbs 19:20

So what exactly does a leadership coach do? (1) Observe (2) Instruct (3) Inspire. At first, the thought of having someone evaluate you may be intimidating. But think about it: people are watching you anyway, so why not plant a coach amongst the crowd? The following is a list of areas in which you might consider inviting a leadership coach (or mentor) to evaluate you: (a) spiritual development (b) personal discipline (c) family relationships (d) decision making (e) handling finances (f) conflict resolution (g) picking the right people (h) goal setting and strategic planning. Look for an environment where you’ll be coached - not just paid. In your early years what you learn is more important than what you earn. Actually, what you learn early determines what you earn later. What you don’t know can hurt you; it can put a lid on your potential. You owe it to yourself and those who depend on you to open the doors of evaluation. And don’t let it stop with you. Pass on to somebody else what you’ve been given. Jesus said, ‘freely ye have received, freely give’ (Matthew 10:8). ‘But I’m too young; nobody’s going to take me seriously.’ Forget all of that. You’re not responsible for knowing everything. You’re just responsible for sharing what you know with others. As you pour into their cup what God and others have poured into yours, they’ll go further, faster too. So, get a coach and be blessed. Become a coach and be a blessing to others!

Prayer
Heavenly Father, place Godly people in my life to be coaches to me, to help me be all you want me to be.  In Jesus’ Name, Amen
