CFTROU 0047: Coaching Network Services

Today we are going to continue our conversation around coaching with Scott Crawford, Family Church Business Administrator/CFO and Network Resources team leader. We’ve talked about the qualities that make a good coach and now we will unpack the nuts and bolts of how coaching plays out at Family Church each and every week. We have implemented a structure that utilizes player/coaches to help elevate our game and accomplish our mission.

Key Points:

  • Leading with a culture of collaboration.
  • Operating in circles, not lines.
  • Utilizing player/coaches to run meetings and coach teams.
  • How network resources (central services) can serve those who are on the frontlines of ministry.
  • Pulling together a team of experts to help you survive in the ever-changing church landscape.
  • Embracing feedback, identifying your blind spots and helping each other get better.
  • Learning to interact better within your teams to serve your church better.
  • Cross functional challenges.
  • How to address both internal and external obstacles in the right way.
