A few weeks ago, a church setup a Church Leadership Coaching Session.

The pastor organized one of their leadership committees that were taking on some new areas of responsibility, particularly in the area of church hospitality.

Read on below and you’ll see how you might get 30-45 minutes of a coaching session for free

Why did they do that?

The church was experiencing some new and fresh growth, both internally as well as new visitors coming.  The combination of the two helped them to see that they were not yet really prepared to receive new visitors in the way they wanted to.

Yet, they also felt overwhelmed and stuck.

• Where to start?
• What are we supposed to do?
• What are we going to do?

It was a feeling of starring into the fog and not seeing much of anything clearly.

The problems appeared too big, too nebulous.

the pastor and leadership committee needed someone outside of their situation to chase some clouds away.

What did it take?

So, here is how we did a Church Leadership Coaching Session for this particular church

1. Each of us had SKYPE (free software from Skype.com) installed on our computers.
2. Each of us had high-speed internet.
3. Each of us had a video cam and microphone available for use with our computers.
4. We connected through the free service of Skype.  I saw them, they saw me.

Sometimes, we’ve simply done teleconference via a service I have.  They call in from their own phones to a conference calling number I have and we talk simply over the phone.

Here is what we did:

For about 1 hour, we talked about issues that were on this committee’s collective mind.

It had the give and take of a conversation.

They went through a brainstorming process to find a their own solutions.

I simply facilitated a the conversation.

Along the way, I shared some of my experiences, but generally, they were developing answers to the questions I was asking.

What did they get out of it?

In their process of talking out loud, they shared how they were

• Re-energized to find new solutions.
• Ready to implement some solutions they just thought of
• Full of hope that they can make effective changes in some of their processes.

How can you get yours for free?

Well, I hope I don’t regret this, but let me throw out an idea.

Over the next few weeks, I’m going to do somewhere around 5-7 telephone consultations.

I’ll get on the phone with you or your team for 30-45 minutes, and you can tell me what’s the most troubling about your church’s hospitality ministry.

I’ll then give some coaching or advice specific to your exact situation to help break through the logjam.

Oh, and did I mention that I’m going to do it absolutely for free?

What’s the catch?

All you have to do is leave a comment on this blog post, telling me as clear as you your biggest frustration in your church’s hospitality ministry right now that you want to fix.  (Please don’t name your church here).

If I pick yours, I’ll contact you by email, then we’ll schedule a time to chat.

Simple enough?
