Leadership Coaching
Navigating complex questions regarding calling, leadership growth, or role transition requires wise stewardship.
Mass-market leadership principles or programs do not address the critical questions and needs that matter most as life and work goes on. Christian leaders’ minds, bookshelves, inboxes, and hard drives are filled with such things, while insight, clarity, and next steps remain elusive.
Mark's leadership coaching engagements are crafted around your objectives, needs, and key questions. Whether your needs include leadership development, leadership performance assessment, or navigating a personal transition from a current role to what God has next, Mark has the resources and experience to help you thrive. Most leadership coaching engagements incorporate the SIMA® Process to provide powerful and specific insights into your unique “operating system” of giftedness and motivation. Hundreds of Christian leaders have benefited from this tailored approach, helping them more effectively steward and maximize what God has given them to do.
Team Coaching
More than ever, unified and effective teams are vital for advancing Christian mission.
Mark's team coaching approach begins with gaining a robust understanding of the culture and makeup of your team, followed by creating a development strategy based on where you need to go next. Through gathering strategic input from each team member, incorporating insights from the SIMA® Process, and facilitated team sessions, Mark helps your team more effectively live out its part in the Body of Christ.
Board Development Coaching
Christian organizations can only be as good as their boards.
Many Christian nonprofits have boards populated by mission-driven individuals who want to contribute, but find the cultures within which they serve to be less effective than they hoped. Commitment and contribution waver, and the organization misses opportunities that a passionate, engaged board provides.
Mark is an experienced board advisor, a Partner in the Alliance for Board Effectiveness, and has served as a member of the Advisory Council of the Christian Leadership Alliance on topics and strategies related to nonprofit governance.
Mark's approach combines the governance principles and best practices developed by internationally known board expert Dr. Robert C. Andringa with a detailed board assessment and development process shaped to fit your board's needs. The process includes board interviews, online assessment tools, best-practice resources, and interactive board sessions that address the opportunities and obstacles related to your board's growth.
