REALIFE Conversations for Christian Coaches

What is the difference between a project and a goal, and how might shifting your mindset lead to more action? In this episode, I’m sharing about the second component of the REALIFE Process®–REALIFE Action–and how you can move from dreaming to taking action on what matters to you.   We’ll talk about: Why a project mindset will help you do more than dream about what you want How using the tool of the mindmap helps you get your thoughts out of your brain and onto paper Why mindmapping a project can eliminate decision fatigue How pre-deciding action steps can give you focus during chaotic seasons   Having dreams for our life is important, but it takes breaking those down into actionable steps if we’re going to make progress and move forward. This episode will give you tools and ideas for how to do just that.   Mentioned In This Episode: Episode 240: Getting Stuck in Success: How Your Strengths Can Keep You From What Truly Matters, with Annette Bechtold Join us on September 21 for an in-person training event for oneLife Maps!

How can the Enneagram help us process through grief and loss? Today, we’re revisiting a past episode of the podcast where I had a conversation with Shawn and Kathleen Loughrige. We talk about how the Enneagram has helped both of our families as we have navigated the loss of both of our sons. On this episode, we'll share openly about: How we all grieve differently The value of huddling together as a family Leaning into grief as a way of healing Holding space for others who are grieving The importance of being gentle with yourself as you grieve Grief is a lifelong journey. It’s not something we move on from but move forward with. As I revisit this conversation several years later, I’m reminded of the healing and inner work that is still taking place for me. I hope our conversation helps you navigate and process your own grief and loss as together, we learn how to practice grief in healthy and authentic ways. Meet this week's guests: Shawn and Kathleen Loughrige live a full and joy-filled life with four children and five grandchildren! They are both pastors on staff at Crossroads Church in Marshall, Michigan. Kathleen is the Connections Pastor and also has her own business, Purpose-Filled Coaching where she offers Enneagram coaching and does Vocational Coaching for the State of Michigan. Shawn is the Missions and Evangelism Pastor, a Varsity High School Football Coach, and retired State Police Commander who served over Violent Crimes, Biometrics and Forensics. Both have the heart to serve with young people and see them flourish and move forward in healthy ways!   To connect with Shawn and Kathleen visit: Purpose-Filled Coaching Crossroads Church at ccmonline.org I've Got Your Backs Website or Facebook Page - A foundation established in October 2009 in celebration and memory of Isaac Loughrige. Isaac’s life was dedicated to helping others and there are so many touching stories that reflect his heart.

Are certain self-care practices just a luxury? This week, I’m sharing a practice I’ve done for years–getting a massage. I’ll share why this is important for me, and the role it plays in my life and wellbeing.   I’ll talk about: Why I felt resistance to this practice at first, and what led me to try it out How this practice helps me care for my body, and why we often dismiss this aspect of our care How pre-deciding a block of time weekly for my self-care helps me prioritize it What you can do to get started if you have been neglecting self-care   What might seem like a luxury is actually essential to caring for my whole self in heart, mind, and body, and it impacts the rest of my everyday life. I hope this episode inspires you to name what you need and to seek out the self-care that will enable you to live out what matters in your life and work.

How can spiritual practices help you create a foundation of rest and growth? In this podcast episode, I’m sharing a book that has been one of the most impactful that I’ve ever read–Sacred Rhythms: Arranging Our Lives for Spiritual Transformation, by Ruth Haley Barton.   I’ll talk about: Why this book came at such a pivotal time in my life The practices from the book that continue to form the foundation of my rhythms, behaviors, and routines Why spiritual formation books are my favorite to read and how they have impacted me How the practices in this book influenced the creation of the REALIFE Process®   If you’re in a season of feeling sped up, the genre of spiritual formation books can invite you to internal growth instead of external work. I hope you’ll pick up this book, and I believe it will impact you as much as it did me.   Mentioned In This Episode: Sacred Rhythms: Arranging Our Lives for Spiritual Transformation, by Ruth Haley Barton Other books I mentioned by Ruth: Embracing Rhythms of Work and Rest and Invitation to Retreat CLICK HERE to learn more about The Transforming Center   Join us for an in-person training event for oneLife Maps!

What if working from your strengths is keeping you from doing what matters? In this week’s episode, I’m joined by one of our REALIFE Process® Certified Coaches Annette Bechtold as she shares what this looked like for her.   We talk about: Why being able to say a confident “yes” to something doesn’t necessarily make it the right choice What made Annette change course after nearly 40 years in the same industry Why stopping to reflect on your chosen path is so important, even when it appears to be going well How to know when it’s time to make a shift, and how to identify what’s next   We also talk about a specific practice to help you name what brings you joy so you can incorporate more of it into your life and work. Annette’s story will inspire you to deliberately choose a life of doing what matters to you, even when it means walking away from a successful career.   About Annette Bechtold: As a leadership and executive coach and consultant, Annette focuses on helping individuals and teams discover their natural talents and gifts. Her goal is to inspire them on their journey to achieve meaningful performance and success.   During her 38-year career in the health insurance industry, she spent time advocating for employers and individuals to help improve the healthcare landscape, while creating, nurturing, and leading various business teams.

What would it mean to do life differently and help others do the same? In this week’s episode, I’m talking with Winston Faircloth, one of our REALIFE Process® Certified Coaches who has dedicated over 40 years of his professional life to nonprofit leadership and technology.   We talk about how Winston moved from burnout to doing the inner work to live from rest, and how that impacts the way he shows up with clients.   We’ll cover: How Winston recognized his mission statement was neglecting the most important parts of his life What happens when the marketplace doesn’t respond to your “brilliant” idea, and how to pivot Why Winston narrowed his niche to a very small number of people, and the growth that resulted How reviewing the numbers with his accountant led to surprising clarity about Winston’s purpose   You’ll be inspired by how Winston first did the hard, inner work for himself, and how that led to incredible growth in his business. If you’re looking to do life and business differently, this episode is for you!   About Winston Faircloth: For over 40 years, Winston has dedicated his professional life to nonprofit leadership and technology. For Love of Team was founded after a challenging season as a leader where Winston learned how to wreck a team culture by relentlessly focusing on the customer. Today, Winston is an RLP Certified Coach, writer, a simplifier, mentor, and strategic advisor living in Tampa, FL.   Connect with Winston: Visit Winston’s website, and follow him on Instagram for his daily posts where he shares inspiring poetry and photography.   Previous podcast episodes with Winston: Episode 60: Winston Faircloth – A Type 3 Navigates the Seasons of Life Episode 118: For Love of Teams Episode 153: Moving from a Solopreneur to a Company: How to Grow Your Team for Success Launching July 24: Our next REALIFE Process® Coach Certification Cohort!
