The Coach Approach Ministries Podcast

Brian and Chad discuss how to have a productive conversation.  There are three questions Brian uses to guide a conversation.  These questions could be used as a simple coaching model: What are we talking about? What do we not know? What are we going to do about it?

Brian and Chad talk about the Disturbance Model that speaks of using power to influence a given cause.  When a leader uses power to influence their cause, resistance will be a by-product.  It is easy to demonize the resistance, but a good leader will instead learn from the resistance. Here are three ways the leader can benefit from the resistance: You are probably not as clear and convicted about your cause as you think you are. You are not comfortable with power, being in charge, or making waves. If you are experiencing mostly resistance for a long period of time, you are probably not good at this or have a weak cause.

Brian interviews Pastor Julius Kim about what drew him into coaching, how he found CAM, and how he has found his purpose in helping others discover their purpose.

Brian and Chad talk about a model called the Leadership Energy Matrix.  Chad originally learned about this model from Scott Eblin, Chad's first coach. The matrix is built from two axis.  The first is around whether your leadership energy is positive or negative.  The second is whether your leadership energy is high or low.  One might think that the best combination would be high-positive energy.  However, the matrix shows that all four combinations are useful in their appropriate moments.
