We are in the middle of difficult times in our world as an unseen illness ripples through and mandates increased isolation. Even though there are many serious issues on our minds, the truth is that we need community right now--in every sense of the word. In these desperate times and across every niche, coaches are needed right now more than ever. Dr. Val Hastings is a Master Certified Coach, and he’s the founder and president of Coaching4Today’sLeaders and Coaching4Clergy. He hired his first coach while pastoring at a local United Methodist Church, and you’ll love the interesting story about how he discovered the power of the coaching process. Val is the author of numerous books and has developed four coach training programs, all accredited by the ICF and currently offered on five continents. He has seen an incredible ripple effect of his global approach with coaching programs, which has expanded his influence to unimaginable heights.
