Top 3 Lessons From An Experienced Christian Executive Coach

By Bertulda Zerna


A Christian Executive Coach has the major advantage of being able to work with many different clients. This allows them to generate collective working by working with different business models and leaders in different niches. During my time as a Christian Executive Coach, I have learned the three following things.

First, leadership is lonely. Every executive I have coached consistently talks about the struggle of being at the top of the food chain. Pressures come from internal and external sources. Everybody seems to want something.

Few employees understand the care and burden that leadership carries for the people they're responsible for leading. Leaders are constantly balancing between feeling as they they aren't fully understand and worry about how to meet everyone's needs effectively.

Second, a lot of leaders worry about their own competency. They must maintain and convey a strong sense of self-confidence, discernment and direction if they are to succeed. They're constantly wondering whether they're endeavors are poised for success or failure. A lot of the executives and leaders that I work with want to know whether or not people are capable of seeing through their proverbial masks.

Last, leadership and visionaries are never really able to find an end to their efforts. One thing that I have found while coaching executives is that after having achieved their targets, they immediately set and pursue new ones. Leaders rarely have the opportunity to experience contentment. New iterations await, more milestones lie ahead and more must be accomplished. Leaders continue to lead as this is what they are made to do.

A big benefit of using a Christian Executive Coach is that they can help you find the right path to your goal while keeping you well grounded in the fact that you really are not alone. Others strive through the same challenges you face, just in different forums. This assurance can give you the confidence to keep pushing on to your next objective.
