An important aspect of being a servant leader is the value of continuous improvement and self-development. Early this year I started on a journey to achieve certification from the International Coaching Federation (ICF).  The certification process involves a significant amount of education, testing, and being coached by a mentor coach. 

This education and certification process has me more excited than ever about coaching. I had an executive coach for about 4 years a few years back, and I have now hired another coach to continue to help me develop at a faster and more efficient pace than I would if I was on my own. My coaches have been invaluable to my development. 

A key part of my business at Triune Leadership Services is coaching. People hire coaches for a number of reasons. My specialty is working with high performance professionals who want to develop their capabilities and achieve their objectives and God-given potential. A few specifics that they might be interested in would be:

• To make significant changes
• To make better decisions
• To set better goals
• To achieve goals faster
• To get ahead professionally
• To have a collaborative partner
• To make a bigger impact on the world
• To be a better leader
• To reduce stress

I help people develop in every sphere of influence in their lives which would include their:

1. Mind – Ability to think
2. Heart – Ability to feel
3. Spirit – Ability to enjoy
4. Business – Ability to succeed in business
5. Environment – Ability to increase awareness and control surroundings 

When leaders commit to their own personal development it not only helps them achieve their potential, but it also sets a great example and model for the people that work for them on the importance of development.

I would encourage you to keep developing your skills to maximize the positive impact that you can have on the world! The people within your sphere of influence deserve it.
