7 Habits of Great Coaches

What does it take to be a great coach?

Dr. Steve Ogne says,

“Coaching is the hands-on process

of helping people succeed.”

To be a great coach you have to cultivate the habits of great coaches. What do great coaches do? Do that!

hab·it noun
1. an acquired behavior pattern regularly followed until it has become almost involuntary: the habit of looking both ways before crossing the street.

I first experienced great coaching over two decades ago as I was planting Lake Hills Church in Castaic, California. Coaching helped me focus on what was most important in ministry.

It wasn’t long before I started coaching leaders around me. I wanted them to experience the benefit of someone coming alongside them to help them succeed.

I’m grateful that Steve Ogne coached me and helped me to see firsthand the habits of great coaches. He both taught and demonstrated these habits.
