2016-17 LEADERSHIP COACHING TRACK SYLLABUS REVIEW

During the second trimester we plan to distribute (at no cost) to track members Tony Stoltzfus'

as a guide for peer coaching practice.

observations in your report.]

Reminder about peer coaching

At the end of every class please break into pairs for that weeks peer coaching session. You may
meet together at any time between classes in any format (personally, via Skype or phone.) In a peer-
coaching model each student will coach the other for 30 minutes using the techniques presented in
class and debrief afterwards (a total of 1 hour + debrief). Note, if you intend to pursue the Bethel
Coaching Training Certificate, please retain your own record of your coaching hours in a spreadsheet that
includes who you coached, their contact information and how long you coached them. This information
will be required to qualify for the certificate.

Coaching practice
In the track I encourage you to find opportunities to coach in addition to your peer coaching from
class. Here are some options:

Connect Coaching. Join the Connect Coaching team and work with a partner to
coach new Bethel Attendees to find their tribe here at Bethel. Contact Viviana
 Eastwood at vivianaeastwood@gmail.com for more information.

Coach a First Year Student. Create a coaching profile that can be referenced by first
year students..

Be coached. Enter into a coaching agreement with a professional coach. This is one
of the best ways to learn more about coaching and refine your own skills.

A NOTE ABOUT THE BETHEL COACHING CERTIFICATION

There are similarities between the track and the Bethel Coaching coach-training program. Bethel
Coaching is a ministry comprised of professional coaches and coach trainers who are members of
Bethel Church. I am a member of its leadership team. Bethel Coaching carries Bethels kingdom-
minded focus into a unique flavor of Christian coaching. A key difference between the track and
their training program is the continuity and depth of this track. Bethel Coaching features 2-day
workshops that provide excellent coach training, but are scattered throughout the calendar year.
Our track will allow you to go deep with consistency and established community.

The track will be equivalent to Bethel Coachings series Level I, Level II and one Level III course.

Our track will cover similar materials found in:

Level I: Coaching Skills for Kingdom Life (our AMT)
Level II: Coaching Intensive
Level III: Supernatural Coaching

Bethel Coaching offers a certificate to those qualified who complete their training, which requires a
Level I, Level II and two (2) Level III courses, 25 logged hours of coaching and 3 mentor coaching
sessions. I will invite Dave Smith, the director of Bethel Coaching, to introduce the program for more
information during our AMT.

QUALIFICATIONS FOR BETHEL COACHING CERTIFICATE [OPTIONAL]

Students may opt to supplement their training at BSSM with the Bethel Coaching certificate, which
indicates your capability and commitment to their coaching standards. Because the total number of
training hours in this track are far fewer than the complete Bethel Coaching program I have negotiated
this option for those who choose to pursue the extra training.
