Leadership Mentoring

Opportunities…

by

Here are some of the projects I am focusing on these days: 1) Life Coaching related to self discovery, goal setting, decision making and life transitions, 2) Fundraising support, (for campus ministers and ministries) I’ll be in Colorado next week for a training related to coaching others in support raising, 3) Networking, helping connect people and organizations to build supportive relationships and explore new opportunities, and 4) Leadership Mentoring, helping organizational leaders proactively move forward. For fun this week I am going to start working with the local middle and high school Special Olympics Spring Soccer program.

Please contact me and we can explore ways in which I can help you and your organization in the coming days.

Now is always a good time…

A good time for decision making, life clarification and direction setting. My hope is to help individuals work a process that brings clarity and progress toward understanding and living their best life. Following is Caity Kepler’s story of how we have worked together over the years.

As my mentor, Jim has the inherent ability to ask the exact right questions I have needed to hear in the moment. He has the wisdom to see what should be dealt with immediately and what should be reflected on for longer periods of time. After having a mentoring conversation with Jim, I am always amazed at how he was able to bring clarity and thought to details I hadn’t even realized I needed to think through. Plus he always continues to show genuine encouragement and interest as I’ve taken steps to improve my life and work towards my goals. And somehow knowing Jim is in my corner always makes those steps just a little bit easier to attempt.

Leadership Mentoring: real support for real leaders

Following are comments from Kodi Aubert related to how I have supported her over the years as she has grown into ministry leadership:

I have had the pleasure of knowing Jim for almost 30 years.  As a young mom of two small children, Jim was instrumental in recognizing my skills and gifts beyond being a “mommy” and encouraging me to use them in a ministry capacity within our church.  He provided many opportunities for me to participate in areas that not only felt comfortable to me but also helped me to stretch into other areas of ministry where he could see my potential.  I believe that his encouraging guidance in those early years directly impacted my choice of career today.

Recently, when I needed some wisdom and clarity in a business situation, I again contacted Jim for his expertise in non-profits and church relations.  He remains current in his Christian worldview and is one of the best listeners I know.  I am blessed to call him a friend.
