Hope in Chaotic Times

By Janice LaVore-Fletcher, PCC, CMC   / Mar 30

During times of chaos, we place our hope in the one who never changes, Jesus Christ.

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” Hebrews 13:8

As Christian Life Coaches, our clients, families, and friends, are often looking to the coach in their midst for a different voice in the storm. Our empathetic voices can bring a sense of clarity, calmness, and hope.

There is a wonderful acronym for H.O.P.E.

Love in Action

By Janice LaVore-Fletcher, PCC, CMC   / Feb 15

As Coaches, we learn many things. We learn to be present with our clients, that the sessions are client-run and that we must put our own agenda aside. As Christian Coach Institute trained Coaches, we learn that when we show up, God shows off. We place our trust in the guidance of Holy Spirit and refrain from leaning on our own understanding. We pray with and for our clients. But we cannot do this without one critical ingredient…LOVE. In the New American Standard Version of the Bible, love is mentioned 484 times – 250 times in the Old Testament, and 234 times in the New Testament.

Embrace a Sense of Wonder

By Janice LaVore-Fletcher, PCC, CMC   / Jul 27

When we are children, there are almost no limits to the amount of wonder and excitement we have about the world around us. We could have an adventure playing in the backyard or just going to the grocery store. It didn’t matter if it was the first time we’d done something or the hundredth, we could still have a blast every time. When you’re young, there are naturally going to be lots of “firsts” – walking, talking, going off to school, learning to ride a bicycle, etc. But just because you’ve grown up, doesn’t mean you have to stop experiencing the world with curiosity and a sense of wonder.
