Not long ago, I read that only 20% of people are coachable.

As a coach who desires to bring transformation to people by cementing their personal relationship with Christ and the renewing of their mind (see Romans 12:2), if true, this statistic means that 80% of us can be written off as beneficiaries of this goal of coaching!

Why this negative mindset?

I suspect that the change and growth associated with coaching is foreseen as a lead in to losing one’s comfort zone. It seems that most of us prefer the comfort of a self-help approach.

Coaching provides accountability and consistency that’s missing from self-help. Time and effort are necessary elements in reaching goals. A coach provides support, inspiration, encouragement and the necessary follow through to reach a goal that will bring lasting change.

In the words of Charles Spurgeon: “Growth is painful. Change is painful, but nothing is as painful as staying stuck somewhere you don’t belong.”

With coaching guidance, you can get unstuck, move forward, overcome fear and uncertainty, and find hope, healing and peace.

Are you interested in exploring the possibility of change?
