Training not only helped me minister and love people better, it also changed me personally. I learned to pause, to study people and read their eyes, body language, their posture. Active listening skills and asking powerful question to cultivate conversation and open thinking in another level to develop a personal strategy and goal plan that’s oriented by the other party, not led or driven by me. Learning to use the intrinsic motivation of the person or people I minister to is key.

I took the Cultivate Relationship Coach Training and highly recommend it for anyone interested in becoming a coach. The class is very interactive, which makes it nearly impossible to not be engaged. The assignments encourage learning in a practical and realistic way that prepares students to be future coaches. Scott and Abigail’s experience helps provide insight into how to apply a Christ centered approach to coaching.

I learned how to communicate more clearly, ask powerful questions, and even make coaching a career.

I loved the topics, and the exercises and homework moved me forward to applying the tools in my own ministry opportunities.

I am so grateful for the ongoing training you do at RCT. I appreciate the practical tools and resources you guys offer. As a pastor of technology, my ministry training has looked different than other pastors. The relationship tools here are not only helpful, but real, funny, and applicable to me as I work with others.

“I worked in couples’ ministries for 15+ years and never felt equipped to counsel couples. I now feel comfortable coaching any couple in the ministry. When I started Cultivate Coach Training, I expected to learn how to help people, and I did that with another important dimension: I learned how to help people help themselves.

“I took Cultivate Coach Training because I wanted to be able to work with my wife (Lisa) to coach married couples.  Lisa and I had done an on-line coaching certification program with AACC but needed a deeper, more substantial training and I could see that The Family Greenhouse coaching program was a perfect fit for what I was looking for!
