A look at coaching...
What does a coaching session look like? Imagine a conversation that leads you to inspirations, answers, and discoveries. I aim to help you discover your visions and goals. I don't advise, correct, or counsel. Sessions include a series of questions that assist you in clarifying a vision and the necessary steps toward achieving your new way.

About John Stirewalt
A companion along your way...
I'm an active, inquisitive person. I've always felt the drive to discover new things and hone my gifts. Along the way, I met mentors and guides. I discovered that these companions were vital to my growth. Two years ago, my colleagues and mentors asked me to become a coach for pastors and congregations. I was a bit surprised. But, pondering my life, I realized that I had often sought out mentors.
So here I am - a coach. I want to help you discover your goals and the steps along the way.
I'm a certified coach, dedicated to helping you reach your personal and professional vision. I'm also trained with a focus in equipping leaders
