As we enter 2015, many of us will make New Year's resolutions. Most will include some way to better ourselves and our lives. Whether that be our health, our relationships, our financial situation... the goal is to become a better you in the coming year.
As Children's Ministry professionals, we endeavor to better our ministry as well. But figuring out how to get there may be difficult. There are many programs, videos and messages available that can give you training or advice. But Kidology Coaching is more than training or advice. It is guided assistance that helps you get to the "next place" in your life and ministry.
Kidology Coaching provides you a veteran children's ministry professional who has been clinically trained in technical coaching skills to guide you through a twelve unit curriculum that covers the foundational basics of ministry.
If you could benefit from personal coaching in your children's ministry leadership & administration, our coaches-Barney Kinard, Todd McKeever, Jessica Klinker, and Sheila Robinson-are here to help you!
Why not kick off the new year by making a real investment with eternal rewards? You can find out more about Kidology Coaching by visiting Kidology today!

Your Personal Year In Review
|
This week in the Kidology Zone, Matt Norman takes a look at the best way to set goals, and setting them for the right reasons too!
"Remember when you are setting goals that you need to set goals related to those things that you have control over. Setting goals for growth might seem logical, but there is NOTHING that you can do to MAKE your ministry grow."

Kick Off Your Year to a Great Start - With Personalized Coaching!
|
Kidology Coaching is a Very Unique Experience.
There are many training opportunities today that are offered that use the term "coaching" that would be better described as "training."
- Watching online training videos about various skills and aspects of children's ministry can be very helpful - but it is not coaching.
- Joining into a group call to hear from an expert in children's ministry can also be a great learning experience, but it also is not coaching.
- Having a kit that gives you some area of leadership to focus on each week can be a useful resource, but it also is not coaching.
- Even talking with an expert regularly for advice is not necessarily coaching if they have not been trained in how to coach.
If they are just telling you what they think you should do, they are consulting or advising, not coaching. All of these things, and other helpful tools, can be a helpful supplement to your leadership development, but they should not be confused with genuine coaching.
