In a survey done with people in their 90's the question was asked about what regrets these seniors had. Most of the answers were surprisingly the same. They expressed regrets about not taking more risks in life or doing things that would live on after they were gone or just simply having more fun.

Many couples have asked in jest if we could live with them. Why? They experience effective communication, problem-solving and goal-setting in sessions that we facilitate, and they aren't confident that they can continue such high quality conversations without facilitators to guide and police the process.

What will it take for coaching to find its potential within the domain of the church?

While trying to encourage her son to eat his dinner one evening, my friend quoted the well-known saying, "You are what you eat," hoping it would be the motivation necessary to cause him to heartily eat his vegetables with gratitude.
