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.

Brian and Chad have been working with the Church Evangelism Institute at Wheaton College, helping them develop their coaching arm. In this episode, Brian and Chad reflect on what they've learned about coaching through the process.

Doug Foltz from Stadia joins the podcast with four tips for returning from the pandemic. 1. Beware: People are faking expertise. They don't know what to do either. 2. Learning is Local. You have to discern what will work best for you. 3. The best ideas are undiscovered. Innovation is necessary in this moment. 4. Design "Ok to Fail" action steps, as opposed to "fail-safe" action steps.

Brian and Chad discuss what assessment Brian should use when he is creating awareness for a church leadership team.

In last week's podcast, Chad and I (Brian) talked about the Empowerment Triangle, created by David Emerald. This framework had just been on Chad's mind lately, and it was a great topic for the two of us to talk through. Very helpful. To my surprise, as I looked at the podcast for this week, we set aside fifth Thursdays to feature interviews by Michael Cheuk for Christian Coaching Magazine. I honestly had no idea, but guess who Michael had recently interviewed? David Emerald, creator of the Empowerment Triangle. I think this counts as a "God thing". Also, as a note, if you're interested in subscribing to Christian Coaching Magazine, you can do so by going to christiancoachingmag.com and paying $15 per year, which not only gives you access to amazing articles on coaching but also helps to support Michael in bringing added value such as this interview.

Brian and Chad discuss Dr. David Emerald's work around the Empowerment Triangle. The victim can become the creator, the persecutor can become the challenger, and the rescuer can become the coach. This can be helpful model for clients.
