Church Health Solutions

Big Changes

2012 is going to be a big year as Legacy Coaching will transform into Church Health Solutions. Legacy Coaching was birthed in 2006 with a passion to serve the local church to increase health and effectiveness. Over the last 6 years, this passion has exploded into our obsession. We have approximately 300,000 Protestant churches in the United States. According to the Hartford Institute for Religious Research, 94 percent of all existing churches have less than 500 attendees and two-thirds of these have less than 100. Who is beating the drum to serve the small church in America? Church Health Solutions!

Our purpose is to serve small to mid-size churches helping them discover and define their uniqueness and celebrate their DNA. Small to mid-size churches are not called to imitate mega-churches (or any church for that matter). Each local church has an individual destiny to be fulfilled for the purpose of expanding the Kingdom of God. Church Health Solutions wants to partner with these churches in Practical; Strategic; and Relational ways by providing intentional Leadership Coaching and Church Health Consulting.

In our effort to serve more churches, we will be expanding Church Health Solutions in such a way to offer affordable options for small to mid-size churches. Our current prices are a third of the standard for coaching and consulting. We desire to keep these prices low because the churches who need such services cannot afford the industry standard. This is why Church Health Solutions has incorporated as a non-profit and is applying for a 501c3 status. We are also raising partners who will help us fund operational expenses and scholarships that allow us to keep costs low for the local church. Raising these funds will also allow us to put in place the tools needed to reach more pastors and churches. We desire to leverage the digital opportunities available to us through online Pastors Coaching Networks and Web Training Events. Below are some the resources we are developing for the future:

Please pray with us as we serve more pastors and churches.

Increasing Your Effectiveness

With 22 years of Church Leadership behind me, I must admit that my journey of self-awareness has increased my effectiveness more than any conference or book. Taking time to discover how God has wired me, accepting it, and learning to lead it within my strengths has allowed me to increase my influence. Taking the time to understand myself has also taught me to understand others. Confidence in myself and empathy for others enriches my relationships and sets the stage for success. Through the years, God has taught me more about myself and how He wired me in the following ways:

• Personality Awareness
• Value Discovery
• Spiritual Gift Understanding
• Leadership Style
• Social Interaction
• Listening Style
• Emotional Response

This personal discovery is one of the reasons we are so excited at Legacy Coaching to provide outstanding personal development through assessments from some of the greatest resources available.

We passionately want to serve you on the journey of self-discovery and assist you in being the best leader you can be. This is why we are now offering the following assessments and coaching packages to serve you:

What's Wrong With You?

Have you ever looked at a person and think to yourself, "What's wrong with you?" I suggest that most of the time this is the result of not understanding their (and your) personality.

I've been teaching about personality for over 10 years.  I love being a part of the process when people begin to understand themselves and others.

Below is the podcast when I taught the personality overview at SpringWell last month. I'd love to get your feedback.

What is Coaching?

Coaching focuses on future possibilities, not past mistakes. (John Whitmore)

Before meeting with a Pastor I am coaching, it is my practice to review the exercises the client has completed, pray for them and the appointment we are about to have. I also try to read some form of coach training material. Reading the coaching material helps prepare me to be in a coaching mindset. I call it my coaching devotional.

I recently read the quote above and it jumped off the page. Too often people live in the past. What I enjoy about coaching is that it helps focus people on the future. Living your preferred future demands dealing with the past but you are not sentenced to live there. Looking back to move forward is always to productive exercise. It allows you to be reconciled, healed, and delivered. Those who live in the past constantly find themselves in conflict with others, hurt, and in bondage.

If you take the time to deal with your past for the purpose of moving forward you set yourself up for real change and transformation. This is the reason my email address is carpe2morrow@aol.com. I am passionate about helping others “seize tomorrow”.

If you (or someone you know) are at a place in your life where you are ready to focus on the future and experience personal change, then a coach might be just what you need. Contact us soon if you are interested in receiving more information.

There is no time like the present to focus on the future.
