Coaching Life Changing Small Group Leaders by Bill Donahue and Greg Bowman

Coaching Life-Changing Small Group Leaders

Rating:

This small group coaching book focuses on building a coaching system for your small groups--the strategic design, relational support and ongoing support structures needed to make a small group coaching system work. The book includes many helpful forms, exercises and worksheets, models for coaching conversations, and outlines to run the Willow Creek huddle system for group leader coaching.

To learn practical listening, asking, goal-setting and action planning skills of a coach, we recommend the book Leadership Coaching by Tony Stoltzfus.
