Inner Healing Tools inside a Coaching Session - Jill Monaco Ministries (April 06, 2026)

Inner Healing Tools inside a Coaching Session - Jill Monaco Ministries, PCC

If you’re a Christian coach who wants to help your clients achieve a lasting breakthrough by incorporating prayer and inner healing, or you are curious what that would look like inside a coaching session, this workshop is for you.

You want your sessions to be led by the Holy Spirit — not just good strategy.

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.

But when pain or past trauma surfaces and a client cannot see another way to think, feel, or believe, you can both feel stuck.

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 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’ limiting beliefs (lies) and help them discover God’s truth
Recognize when trauma or unresolved wounds are influencing the session
Ask specific, Spirit-led questions that unlock spiritual and practical breakthroughs
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 tools you can use immediately. You’ll be coached through a portion of the core elements of her proprietary model, The Freedom Framework™, as taught in the Freedom Certification. You’ll also gain from tools from her best-selling book, The Freedom Coach Model®, so your clients feel seen and heard by God, their hearts begin to heal, and they can walk in freedom well beyond the coaching session.

As a coach, you’ll walk away with better discernment, structure, and confidence.

Join us and discover how coaching and inner healing can work together to create lasting transformation.

Presented by: Jill Monaco, PCC, CPCC

Writer's Workshop - April (April 08, 2026)

Wed, 08 Apr 2026 16:30:00 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.

Walking with People in Transition with Tim Austin (May 15, 2026)

Fri, 15 May 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.

Sales Master Class: Business Model Design & Signature Offering (May 28, 2026)

Business Model Design & Signature Offering

Many of us never got into coaching to think about business models. How we shape our business empowers a coaching practice that is aligned with our vision and values. When we don't intentionally share our business models, we can feel trapped in our coaching practices. In this webinar, we will talk about building a business model that works for you and with your vision, and also explore why crafting your signature offering is so important.

A Neuroscience Coaching Learning Community

In today’s coaching world, tools abound—but transformation runs deeper than technique.

Join us for a powerful gathering of like-minded Christian coaches exploring the intersection of neuroscience, coaching, and biblical wisdom.

In this Community Group, we will:

Discover how coaching the brain enhances breakthroughs for your clients
Learn key neuroscience principles through a biblical lens
Engage in Spirit-led conversations around mindset, renewal, and transformation
Connect with other Christian coaches committed to both excellence and faith
Walk away with practical tools and inspiration to use in your coaching practice immediately

This is more than just another event—it’s the beginning of a kingdom-minded community where you can grow in confidence, competence, and Christ-centered coaching.

Whether you’re new to brain-based coaching or have been integrating it for years, this space will refresh your calling, equip your mind, and sharpen your skills.

Facilitated by:

Susan Litwiller. Susan served as CCNI's secretary and director of education and has a wild passion for neuroscience and coaching. As a certified Master NeuroCoach, she focuses on finding the limiting beliefs that keep people stuck from engaging fully in God's design for their lives. Using humor and a plethora of resources, she enjoys encouraging others to show up as their best selves.
