Jim McDermid oversaw a $60 million budget when he worked in the medical technology industry. He realized that much of the "coaching" was actually "consulting," and was not developing the staff well. Jim talks about the changes they made to ensure that "coaching" was actually coaching, including the requirement of ICF credentials.

4. Empathy, Busyness, and Leadership:
   - Paul emphasizes the importance of empathy in leadership and relationships, noting that busyness is often the greatest enemy of empathy.
   - He explains how being in a hurry can disconnect us from others and blind us to their needs, while slowing down makes us more present and compassionate.

Accountability is our subject this week, as Chad Hall and Brian Miller answer questions such as:

Brian and Chad explore how framework coaching is being used in a few specific industries. They also examine the tension between framework coaching and formula coaching.

Teri-E Belf was the very first Master Certified Coach with the International Coach Federation. Listen to her origin story.

There are four layers that make up every organization (that is, a group of people gathered together in a structured manner for a specific purpose):

1. Material - the vision, job descriptions...you can put it on paper
2. Group norms - collective habits that connect the material pieces together
3. Interpersonal - between two or more people
4. Intrapersonal - going on inside of me - self-differentiation

These four layers are always simultaneously present in everything the organization does.  Challenges occur when one layer isn't functioning well or otherwise functioning layers aren't aligned.

The work of organizational development is fundamentally about discerning where the pressure points are (given these 4 layers) and then partnering with organizational leaders to make needed shifts.

Group training, individual coaching, and leadership team development are simply different means to work toward this same end (and therefore should reflect the same philosophy).

Encouraging listeners to engage with Tim Keller's teachings, they emphasize his lasting impact on their lives and ministry.

• grieving vs mourning
• death vs living loss
• grief coaching vs regular coaching

Brian and Chad discuss ways to get to the heart of the matter in coaching. Too many coaching conversations just scratch the surface of the issue. The topic as well as the person need to explore at a much deeper level in order to create deep awareness, solid accountability, and a helpful learning plan. Brian and Chad give several do's and don'ts.

Brian and Chad reflect on 2022 and discuss CAM developments they are excited about in 2023:

• A Resurgence with the CAM Community of Coaches
• Record breaking student enrollment
• A new course being offered:  CAM 514 Coaching in the Local Church

• Not a formula, but a relationship with Jesus and others - move past individuality - coaching is a good step
• Exploring discontent (# 6 of 10 stops from Barna's book, Maximum Faith)
• Discovering the next step of obedience (try to move forward on Barna's scale) 

Brian and Chad approach the issue of questions from a different angle. What are some questions you should NEVER ask?

• Looking to the past - What have you got so far? What have you tried so far?
• Prescriptive - Have you ever thought about...
• Judged - Why did you do that? How stupid are you? Really? 
• Collecting information already discovered - Have you thought about anything that you could do about that?
• Bad timing - What could you do about that? (at the beginning) What about this is really important? (at the end)

Linda Miller has been an Executive Coach for decades. She describes an Executive Coach as a deeply present thought partner, who models behaviors that leaders can use in their leadership.

She says there are three things a coach must do for the leaders.

1. Listen deeply
2. Give honest feedback
3. Challenge assumed constraints

5 aspects of a person:

1. Natural gifts

2. Acquired strengths

3. Personality

4. Spiritual Gifts

5. Character

3. Be willing to work/think
4. See your coach as a partner
5. Be as vulnerable as possible

• What is the song behind the words that is keeping us all dancing? In other words, what deeper tune of the church is getting played in this circumstance? What is going on in this situation that nobody is talking about but is affecting the whole system of the church? - p 115
• I also often coach my pastor clients to give a yearly “I Have a Dream” sermon in order to keep raising the urgency in the congregation. - p 142
• As a coach to pastors, I am almost always in the role of confidant. - p 159
• I tell my coaching clients, “You must bring yourself to your role, but you are not your role.” - p 211
• I often coach my clients, “Make your goal in every conversation to have someone roll their eyes upward (which indicates that they are thinking differently) and say, ‘That’s a great question.’” - p 213

Chad and Brian talk about their favorite assessment, the Core Values Index (CVI). The CVI is designed to help a person know how best they contribute.  It was originally designed to help companies and organizations hire people who were a great fit for a particular role, what they call “A Players.”  They found that beneath having the skills and the experience needed to do well in a job, that what really drives success is the extent to which the role allows a person to express their unique combination of core values. 

The CVI has two modes: free and complete.  The free version will tell you what your two primary core values are, for example: Builder/Innovator.  The complete will tell you the scores for each of the four values.  Each of the four has a score between 1 and 36. 

You can take the assessment at coachapproachministries.org/assessment 

After eight years of coaching, Brian decided to look at his coaching hours log to see where his clients came from. With 90 unique clients, here are some observations.

• Not one client came from my website, reading my blog, or social media. Not one. Ever.
• My first twenty clients came from wherever I could find them.
• Eight of my first twenty clients were the key to all the rest of my clients.
• Working these networks produced multiple clients all at once.

Chad and Brian discuss all the results on today's podcast.

Based on a blogpost found here.

The High Performance Pattern (HPP) assessment was created by Dr. Jerry Fletcher, a professor at Harvard. Since his death, the HPP has been championed by Coach Approach Ministries.

Brian and Chad talk about the HPP in this episode and conclude their conversation in podcast # 179.

• What I would do differently?
• What I learned?
• How I formatted the sessions?

• Get comfortable with not knowing
• Ask questions that are wide open at the beginning
• Create a "frame" for the client to design actions

Chad and Brian discuss the book Traction: Get a Grip on Your Business by Gino Wickman.  CAM has been implementing The Entrepreneurial Operating System that Gino Wickman mentions in his book with good results.  One unusual element of this system is that it works with two key leaders - the visionary and the integrator.

Brian and Chad debunk three myths about money when it comes to coaching:

1. People can't afford coaching
2. A lower price will get more traction
3. Ministry should be free

Without diving deep into the sport of professional basketball, Brian and Chad take a look at the lessons we can learn from Steve Kerr, the head coach of the Golden State Warriors, who have won three championships in five years.

He creates an open and trusting atmosphere among some of the highest paid and talented athletes in the world. There is much we can learn from Steve Kerr and apply to our coaching and leadership.

In this episode of the Coach Approach Ministries podcast, Executive Director Brian Miller and co-host Chad Hall dive into the intriguing concept of choosing your enemies wisely, inspired by Patrick Bet-David's book Your Next Five Moves. Chad shares his experience with the book, which, while primarily focused on business strategy, offers powerful insights on how identifying and engaging with your "enemies" can fuel your motivation and drive success.

The discussion explores how the idea of an "enemy" isn't about hostility but rather about finding what pushes you to strive for excellence. Drawing on examples like Tom Brady and Quentin Tarantino, Brian and Chad illustrate how successful people use the concept of an enemy—whether it's a competitor, a challenge, or even an internal obstacle—as a source of inspiration and energy. 

They also reflect on how coaches and leaders can apply this mindset to both their personal growth and the success of their clients, emphasizing the importance of caring deeply and allowing yourself to be emotionally invested in your goals. 

Whether you're a coach, a business leader, or simply someone looking to unlock greater motivation, this episode offers valuable insights on harnessing the power of competition and emotion to elevate your game.

In Tod Bolsinger's book, Canoeing the Mountains, he says that relational congruence is one of three keys to leadership.

1. Predictable. Same person in every situation.
2. Transparent. Your expressed interest is your true interest. 
3. Approachable. Open to disagreement. Not defensive.

Get ready to dive into an insightful conversation with Brian and Kevin Krosley as they unpack the world of process coaching and share three powerful improvement questions:

3. What are the changes we can make that will lead to improvement?

Once these questions are answered, the next crucial step is to put changes to the test on a smaller scale before rolling them out organization-wide.
