Brian talks with Bob Hyatt about "content-rich" coaching.  Bob is the Director of Equipping and Spiritual Formation for Ecclesia. “Content-rich” coaching is when you know how to do/have done what the client is doing. For younger leaders suffering from all clarity, no perspective. They aren't aware of what they shouldn't be doing and ought to be doing.  For older leaders with no clarity and all perspective. They see all the trees and it becomes incapacitating. They can't bring it to a focus.  For those with specific questions about ministry. Protect the boundaries of the coaching relationship and step into that place of "tell me what to do."  You can contact Bob at BobHyatt@mac.com or bob.hyatt@ecclesianet.org Listen to more of Bob Hyatt at previously released podcasts:   264 A Good Coach has a Coach!

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.
