info_outlineIn this episode Dr Natalie Lancer, with Justin Wise and Dr Michael Marx, explores how some coaches integrate faith-based concepts and secular equivalents, including meaning, intuition and a capacity to respond to life’s challenges, into their coaching. We learn how religious values, ethics and practices may inform the work that coaches do with their clients. In this episode, we discuss Christian and Jewish orientations as examples of coaching with faith-based principles. We ask:
- What is coaching in faith?
- What if the client is secular or a different religion to the coach?
- Which religious concepts or secular equivalents, frequently show up in a coaching conversation?
- Which specific practices drawn from a religious life could be of value in coaching?
- How can coaching from a faith perspective allow the coachee to develop other stories and perspectives about themselves?
- How can faith-based thinking help us transcend normative problem-solving in coaching sessions?
- What can coaching in faith teach us about meaningful ways of living?
- How can thinking from a faith-based approach towards relationships and communities serve us better?
- What alternative conceptualisations of life and human beings does religion provide?
- How can coaching in faith help us recognise our inherent complexity?
Coaching in faith is an often over-looked and rarely acknowledged topic and can offer alternative ways of thinking about common coaching issues. Our guests help us to begin to unpack this potential and explore the possibilities of coaching in faith. Our guests today are:
