Six Benefits Of Professional Coaching
settings
Heightened Self-Awareness. Self-awareness is the first step to any growth. Every leader has blind spots - do you know yours? Coaching helps you develop an understanding of your greatest strengths, your blindspots, and places that you have been growing.
Practical Tools. Coaches have years of training and experience. Through their experience they know what works and are a valuable resource to you. When you need ideas, they often have great ones to consider.
Improved Self-Discipline. No journey is easy. Ministry is difficult. To last in ministry, and respond well to the many different situations you will face, you need to have good self-discipline. Coaching will help you strengthen your self-discipline.
Greater Empathy. The ability to understand, listen, and hear what a person is experiencing is one of the greatest assets of any leader. Your ability to empathize will play a significant role in influencing children and families for Jesus. Coaching is a pathway to greater empathy.
Increased Motivation. Through your relationship with your coach, you will find increased motivation. Like a car rolling down a hill, the coaching sessions will make you feel like the road is easier. When things feel easier, you feel supported, and are given a fresh perspective, suddenly motivation dramatically increases.
Significant Confidence Boost. Like a team with a great coach, you will feel empowered and equipped to lead with more confidence. The growing awareness of yourself, and practical tools you are given, will be the confidence boost you need to lead well.

Praise From Past YMI Students

"These two years have changed and challenged me in ways I both could not have imagined and in ways I knew were deeply needed...through YMI I have found more support than I ever thought existed. And in that respect, YMI has been God's very visible hand and mostly audible voice in my life."
settings
- Britt Holdren
settings
"YMI saved my life...One of the greatest lessons I have learned is how to be open, honest, and vulnerable with those who are ready to love and care for me...They have continuously showered me with love, encouragement, laughter, but have also not been afraid to speak truth...into my life."

Have You Ever Felt Like No One Understands The Uniqueness of Children's and Family Ministry?
settings
Often in children's ministry you can feel isolated or alone as if no one understands your unique life. You may feel as though no one knows who you really are.
You may feel like the children's ministry is different than all of the other ministries of the church. Staff members may not "get" you or the children's ministry.
settings
Through YMI you will have a coach who will know you well. Your coach will grow to understand you, what drives you, the challenges you face, and where you hope to go.
settings
As your coach begins to learn about you, you will feel loved and cared for in a new way that will accelerate your growth in ministry.
settings
Your newly learned skills and support from someone who "gets you," will help you stay in your ministry for many years to come!
