Exploring Core Competencies from a Christian Perspective (May 25, 2026)

Mon, 25 May 2026 17:00:00 GMT

Core Competencies Learning Community

Join Ben Olsen, PCC, CPCC, AG4 and Director of Coach Education & Training at Global Center for Coaching

Each month we will explore a Core Competency together through the Christian coaching lens. We will meet the 4th Monday each month from 1-2 pm ET.

In this community learning group we will spend time unpacking each of the 8 core coaching competency areas as outlined by the International Coaching Federation. We will explore how our unique understanding of the core coaching competencies builds up and prepares people to answer God’s invitation to join Him. How can we, as Christians, leverage our faith and God’s principles to answer the call to equip others. This is a time where we will discover what makes us as believers uniquely fitted to be industry leaders using a biblical foundation to approach our professional skills.

A former professional actor turned spiritual growth coach, Benjamin Olsen brings over 25 years of experience as a facilitator, instructor, and program developer. He specializes in relational coaching, pastoral care, and personal development, helping individuals and teams grow through authentic connection and experiential learning.

"Short-takes"

No time to read an entire book? Not to worry. Join with other members in our CCNI community to hear an executive summary with Biblical applications.

In addition to receiving a dozen or so highlighted insights from this month's book, members will benefit from interaction with other participants.

As coaches, we tend to do most of our work alone. Let's set aside time to purposefully come together for prayer, encouragement, and refreshment while learning from best practices to enhance our knowledge and understanding.

"You will be the same person in five years as you are today except for the people you meet and the books you read."

-Charlie "Tremendous" Jones

Short-takes will be offered on the 4th Tuesday of each month, January through October.

This Month's Book: "Trust and Inspire" by Steven Covey

We have a leadership crisis today, where even though our world has changed drastically, our leadership style has not. Most organizations, teams, schools, and families today still operate from a model of “command and control,” focusing on hierarchies and compliance from people. But because of the changing nature of the world, the workforce, work itself, and the choices we have for where and how to work and live, this way of leading is drastically outdated.

Susan Litwiller, MNC, Ed.S., MBA, currently serves as CCNI's Secretary. She is passionate about learning and boasts a self-proclaimed title as a "Resource Junkie".

Coaching Damaged Emotions: Inner Healing Tools Inside a Coaching Session: (May 29, 2026)

Fri, 29 May 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Coaching Damaged Emotions: Inner Healing Tools Inside a Coaching Session

Jill Monaco, PCC, CPCC

If you’re a Christian coach who wants to help your clients move through damaging emotions by incorporating prayer and inner healing, or if you’re curious about what that would look like in a coaching session, this workshop is for you.

Back by popular demand, with a twist, this workshop by Jill Monaco, PCC, will give you a simple, practical framework for integrating inner-healing prayer into your coaching conversations—without stepping outside your coaching role.

When pain or past trauma surfaces and a client cannot feel or understand their emotions, it can feel overwhelming for both the client and coach. But with a simple strategy, you can coach them to encounter God’s presence and watch the Holy Spirit begin to heal their hearts.

If you’ve ever thought:
• “I want Holy Spirit-led conversations, but don’t know how to guide
them.”
• “I feel out of my depth when deeper emotional issues surface.”
• “I want to guide my clients in prayer, but I’m not sure how that aligns
with coaching competencies.”
In this workshop, you’ll learn how to:
• Discern when to ask questions that go deeper into exploring your
clients’ emotions
• Recognize when trauma or unresolved wounds are influencing the
session and how to gently introduce a tool to release the trigger into
God’s hands
• Ask specific, Spirit-led questions that reveal what God is trying to heal
• Facilitate conversations without stepping into counseling or mentoring
• Propose questions for your client to ask God in prayer for more
effective revelation that leads to lasting change

Jill will equip you with a tool you can use immediately. You’ll be coached through a portion of the core elements of her proprietary model, The Freedom FrameworkTM, as taught in the Freedom Certification. Your clients will feel seen and heard by God, their hearts begin to heal, and they can walk in freedom well beyond the coaching session.

Presenter: Jill Monaco

Master Coach Demonstraction with Todd Kemp, MCC (June 02, 2026)

Tue, 02 Jun 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Master Coaching Demo

Todd Kemp, MA, MCC

I am deeply fascinated by the human longing for transcendent meaning and the growth journey at the heart of becoming a leader worth following. Growth awakens us to new possibilities, purposes, and the profound promises of God.

I believe growth is cultivated in circles of trust where humility, truth, and the generous presence of another shape us for good. As a leadership growth coach, I seek to foster growth in this way and help spark greater flourishing.

Before coaching, I spent nearly two decades in Fortune 150 technology and entrepreneurial ventures, leading distributed teams and supporting complex, high-stakes business outcomes. For the second half of my career, I have been a coach for individuals, teams, and executive peer cohorts for leaders who value connection over self-reliance, clarity over self-deception, and courage over self-doubt.

From Insight to Lasting Change: A Christ-Centered Framework for Structuring Transformation (June 15, 2026)

Mon, 15 Jun 2026 17:00:00 GMT

From Insight to Lasting Change: A Christ-Centered Framework for Structuring Transformation

In this one-hour webinar, we will explore a common challenge many coaches face—clients gaining insight but struggling to follow through in their daily lives. This session introduces a Christ-centered framework that integrates faith, time, and intentional practice to support sustainable transformation.

Building on principles familiar to those who have experienced the REALIFE Process®, this approach helps bridge the gap between powerful moments of clarity and consistent, lived-out change. Through a Spirit, Soul, and Body lens, participants will see how intentional planning can become a form of spiritual formation—creating alignment between what God is revealing and how it is carried out in everyday life.

This session will also introduce the HEAL thy LIVING™ Planner as a practical tool that supports this process, not as a replacement for existing systems, but as a complementary framework for reflection, alignment, and follow-through.

Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of how to help clients move beyond insight into lasting transformation, along with practical ways to begin integrating this approach personally and within their coaching practice.

Presenter: Julie Loy

Julie is a practicing Speech-Language Pathologist (M.A., CCC-SLP), Certified REALIFE Process® Coach, and creator of the HEAL thy LIVING™ Quarterly Planner. She is passionate about helping coaches and individuals move beyond insight into sustainable, everyday transformation through intentional, Christ-centered rhythms. Through her work, she integrates faith, time stewardship, and practical structure to support real-life change that lasts. Learn more at htl-planner.com

Writer's Workshop - September (September 09, 2026)

Wed, 09 Sep 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Christian Writers Group

Helping Christian coaches who feel called to write – to write.

Are you called by God to write? If the answer is no, don’t waste your time. If the answer is yes, then anything less is disobedience. Don’t worry about publishing, posting, or profiting. Write for an audience of the One who really matters. Write as an act of obedience. Write because you must.

Presenters: Pam Mertz and Rich Weigel

Christian Coaches who are called to write have an opportunity to gather, connect, support, learn and encourage one another in the writing process.

If you have a thought to write, or have published books, and anywhere in between, this Writer’s Group has a place for you! We have provided this space for a couple of years now and it continues to be a very fruitful space for Christian coaches who also write to gain traction in this process.

Coaches coach and writers write! Come and be a part of this space where we “explore the more” God has for each of us in this space of writing.

Our Writing Group will be answering some of the following questions while at the same time, pushing each other to accomplish some writing that we can post, publish, or present.

What do you feel compelled to write about?
What’s burning in your heart that someone else needs to read?
Who is going to benefit from what you write?
What are they going to do with it after they’ve read it?
What makes it important if Jesus was reading it?

We will have three 90-minute meetings for our CCNI Writing Group. At each meeting there will be a presenter who has posted or published to talk about some of the things they do to build their writing. We’ll use a “Listening to Speaker Protocol” to provide you an opportunity to ask questions. We will also have breakout rooms for you to talk about:

• What you want to write,
• What you’ll have written by the next meeting, and
• How you will be held accountable to get that writing done.
• There will also be a Google Form to fill out after each session.

=========================================

Attendees will receive One (1.5) CCRU for this event. This will count towards CCNI's continuing resource requirements for credentialing and other organizations affiliated with Christian Coaching and CCNI. Please note our community groups are not recorded.

======================================================

Pamela Mertz, CPLC, CPCC, PCC is the President and Founder of BluePrint Life Coaching, LLC, member of ICF and CCNI.

Walking with People in Transition with Tim Austin (September 25, 2026)

Fri, 25 Sep 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Walking with People in Transition
Seasons of transition often leave people feeling disoriented, uncertain, and caught in the “messy middle” between what was and what’s next. Coaches and care providers are frequently invited into these moments—but knowing how to walk well alongside someone in transition can be challenging.
In this live webinar, Tim Austin will help participants step into the experience of those navigating significant life and vocational changes. Together we’ll explore what commonly surfaces during seasons of transition and the kinds of support people often need during these in-between times.
Along the way, participants will learn how to recognize the emotional and spiritual dynamics that often accompany transition, ask better questions that invite reflection and discernment, and use simple tools to help guide people toward greater clarity about their next steps.
Participants will leave with a practical framework for understanding transition dynamics, along with several reflection tools that can be used to support meaningful coaching conversations with people navigating seasons of change.

Tim Austin (Bio)

Tim Austin is a life and leadership coach who specializes in helping people navigate seasons of transition. After spending more than twenty years living and serving overseas as a missionary and pastor, Tim developed a deep passion for walking with people through life’s significant crossroads.
Today he runs Encompass Life Coaching, where he works with leaders, ministry professionals, and entrepreneurs who are discerning their next chapter. Tim also trains coaches and care providers to better support people in the “messy middle” of transition using a set of practical coaching tools and frameworks he has developed through years of experience.
Tim lives in Boise, Idaho with his wife Eve. They have three adult children who grew up overseas and three grandchildren.
