The biggest insight that I’ve had with coaching is that of viewing your client as whole. I’ve done pastoral counseling for decades and people have always come because they need help; coaching is different. The client is the expert and the coach is the expert. This is the basis for discovery and development.

Val Hastings facilitated our first ever coaching course for teachers in Callao (Lima, Peru). The coach training inspired our teachers to be better in their schools and with their students.

Before I would tell my team what to do and they did not like it and the results were not great. When I started coaching and using questions instead of commands, their involvement and commitment were at a much greater level.
Rev. Dr. Grace Pak, PCCDirector of Cross Racial/Cross Cultural Leadership
Coaching training webinars at Coaching4Clergy was a life-changing experience! The Master Coach Rev. Val Hastings not only teaches but shows by example how to coach throughout the course. Coaching has been integrated to all aspects of my life in such a way that it made a difference in my ministry, relationships and personal life. Thank you Val!
Rev. Erica R. Jenkins
I had been curious about coaching for years and was on the mailing list of a few coaches. The time was right for me to invest in the Coaching4Clergy training which contextualized coaching for Pastors without limiting us to the Christian church. Coaching refreshed my passion for ministry and lifted some of the burdens of Pastoring from me. Now, with the changes in society, it is wise for all Pastors to become trained as coaches.
Dr. Felix C. VillanuevaMaster Certified Coach
Coaching4Clergy and Coaching4Today’s Leaders have been life-transformative! Although I have been coaching for years, Val’s training helped me hone in my skills and gave me a clear process to develop my coaching practice. Since I graduated from the program, I have been in multiple coaching meetings. Every time I am in the presence of other coaches, I realize how great Val’s training as people often comment on my coaching skills and knowledge.
Rev. Edna R. AndresHospital Chaplain
I have been putting into practice everything I learned from Coaching4Clergy. Residents, patients and families notice that my style as their chaplain has improved tremendously and has encouraged them to look for the best in themselves even during the most trying times. This has been one of the best gifts I have chosen for myself.
Rev. Sarah Ciavarri
My experience with Coaching4Clergy exceeded expectations. From the faculty who taught the core courses and electives to the mentor coaching experience, I learned things about myself as a coach and about the wide world of coaching that I am grateful to be taking into my ministry context. Val and Wendy were always prompt in responding to questions I had and were flexible in allowing me to complete the two courses to be ready for the PCC test in a timeframe that worked for my life. I'm grateful to God for this ministry.
