Good Steward Financial Coach Certification Program – “Mentoring and Coaching the Baby Steps”

Here you will start to dive deep into your Coach Certification Program as you learn to personalize the spiritual and practical biblical financial principles and applications and further refine and adjust your personal financial plans over time.

HOW?  You will receive the MENTORING and COACHING help you need to learn to use and pass along Dave Ramsey’s 7 Baby Steps that show how to save for emergencies, become debt free for good, and build wealth.  This is not a fairy tale or a nice story for someone else.  This is a proven, practical way to move from information into spiritual and financial lifestyle transformation step by step.  

NOTE: MENTORING and COACHING are terms that are thrown together as if to mean the same thing. However they are very different disciplines.

• Mentoring: Here you prayerfully learn the value of NOT having to wait to learn through personal experience; instead, you prayerfully learn from the lessons history has already taught experienced “others.”
• Coaching: Coaching addresses your performance gap–the difference between what you know and what you do. Here you will develop greater awareness, increased responsibility and greater accountability. As a result you will experience lasting change as you adopt an approach to finances that operates from the inside out as opposed to the outside in–you learn to prayerfully find the “answers” from “withing.” You and your coach skillfully explore spiritual and financial solutions through intelligent, open and curiosity based questions.

You will receive “The Certified Good Steward Financial Coaching Manual” to help you work through seven more “real life” Case Studies. This will help you continue to grow to be more in touch with God, yourself, others around you, and your finances–and begin to see what it will be like to help lead others where the Lord is leading you.

You will continue with your Scripture Memory program.

You will also prepare to Lead a Phase 1 Seminar and a follow-on Phase 2 Workshop. 

You and your Academy Team will continue to teleconference together to work through the first book in your John Maxwell Training Mastermind Group series: “The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth” (“JMT Mastermind Group #1” button on the right).
