Religious Community
Leaders in Churches, Synagogues, Mosques and Temples
Experts once predicted the demise of religion across the globe, yet today, organized religion remains an important facet of modern civilization. However, challenges exist and an ever-changing environment makes maintaining a relevancy difficult. Coaching can help religious leaders discern the way forward without compromising their faith tradition, but sometimes difficult questions need to be posed to fully comprehend the issues at hand. Religious institutions, alongside local non-profits, are key players in social capital, but the leaders can often feel lonely and isolated in their work. Coaching is a safe and confidential environment to share the more intimate struggles and challenges of leading what can often be stubborn followers. If you are planning a sabbatical, coaching can discern how you want to spend this time and what goals you would like to pursue during this break.
