Today we get to sit down with our show’s host, Christopher McCluskey, PCC, for part two of his inspiring story. In the previous podcast, Christopher McCluskey talked about the challenges and obstacles he faced after shutting down his successful counseling practice to move his wife and children cross-country to the family farm and launch a private coaching practice. Shortly after relocating, Chris was struck by a debilitating illness that took years to diagnose. He entered a “dark night of the soul” that took a toll on both he and his family. But instead of allowing difficult circumstances to harden their hearts, they served to strengthen their faith and resolve. During these difficult years, God inscribed valuable life lessons on Chris’ heart, which he shares with us today. Chris identifies five critical beliefs that shaped his life and decisions during these years: Discern your life’s call and listen to the song of your heart. Count the cost and do your due diligence when launching your coaching business and in honoring your values. Commit for the long haul. After putting your hand to the plow, resist the temptation to look back (Luke 9:62). Persevere through the dark times and allow nothing to deter you from God’s plan and purpose for you, both personally and professionally. Work creatively and collaboratively. Say, “Lord, show me something fresh here.” Ask, “Collaboratively, who else can help me?” How might these key takeaways mold your life and coaching practice?

Signing up for this free resource will also add you to our mailing list and keep you up-to-date on new topics and podcasts. Until next time, keep Raising the Standard and Changing the World!   About Chris McCluskey PCC   Often cited as ‘The Father of Christian Coaching’, Chris is a visionary thought leader who pioneered this field in the late 1990s through journal articles, conferences, keynotes, and as a founding board member of both the Christian Coaches Network and Christian Coaching Magazine. He served as a primary consultant and contributor to Dr. Gary Collins in his ground-breaking text, “Christian Coaching: Helping Others Turn Potential Into Reality” (2001, NavPress). In 1998, Chris transitioned entirely out of his ownership of the largest Christian psychotherapy practice in Tampa Bay (Christian Care Counseling Centers, Inc.) into full time coaching as a solo practitioner in his new business, Coaching for Christian Living, Inc. In the year 2000, he established a Christian track at the Institute for Life Coach Training which grew over that decade into the Professional Christian Coaching Program (precursor to PCCI). He has presented at more than 50 national & international conferences including the Christian Management Association (CMA), the American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC), the Christian Association for Psychological Studies (CAPS), the Association for Marriage & Family Ministries (AMFM) and the Christian Coaches Network (CCN). A prolific writer, he and his wife, Rachel are best-selling authors of the highly-acclaimed marriage book, When Two Become One (Revell, 2004, 2006), and have co-authored chapters in several popular Christian books. Their articles appear in numerous international magazines and on websites including ChristianityToday.com, FamilyLife.com, and Focus on the Family’s PluggedIn.com. They are frequent guests on popular Christian radio and television shows. Chris and Rachel operate Professional Christian Coaching Institute and Coaching for Christian Living from their ranch in the foothills of the Ozark Mountains in south-central Missouri where they homeschool their seven children. Chris’ passions include music, the performing arts, and nature, but most of all his family.   Show Notes: http://professionalchristiancoachingtoday.com/169 http://professionalchristiancoachingtoday.com/       

Today we have the privilege of sitting down with our show’s host, Christopher McCluskey, to hear his story as he has dared to answer the song of his heart, a song placed there by God. Raised in a healthy Christian family, Chris was blessed beyond measure, but that didn’t mean his path would be without countless challenges and overwhelming obstacles to answering God’s call on his life—a call that has not only touched his professional and personal life but also the lives of thousands. Chris’s story offers important life lessons we could all learn from: The importance of honoring the song God has placed in your heart Choosing to persevere in the face of adversity Committing to running and finishing the race God has set before you Sacrificing short-term pleasures for long-term gains How a supportive family or community help us weather life’s storms And more… Be sure to tune in for part two of Chris’ story next week and learn how the worst—and the best—was yet to come.

A 5 Step Approach For Clarity That Will Accelerate Outcomes Click Here for the resources with our interview with Gary “What do I need to get to that particular outcome? What needs to happen? What could possibly hold me back from getting there? What attitudes might be in the way? What might externally affect me?  All of those things that make up the foundation of good decision making, I need all of those pieces in place. That's clarity.” - Gary Wood Are you a Christian business leader who has burned out or is on the verge of burn out? Do you know what outcomes you want to achieve but don’t know how to make them happen? Have you found yourself at a plateau and can’t figure out how to move forward? Join us as we talk with Gary Wood, a master certified Christian Coach. Gary and his wife left their careers, stepped out on faith, and followed God’s leading. He now helps business leaders, executives and professionals beat burn out or avoid it completely by helping them find clarity. Gary will share God’s model for clarity and how to find meaning and purpose. What you will learn: How God’s model of clarity can be applied to our business and personal lives. How to identify problems and zero in on the one area that will make the most difference. The close connection between clarity and outcomes. How to determine what direction you are moving. The importance of taking ownership. How to gain momentum and move forward. All of the methodologies you have learned and the tools you have can be incorporated into the clarity model. “If I'm building a bridge across a river, I have to know exactly where I am starting and where I wanna get to before I can even determine what that bridge is gonna look like and what I build it out of and what's gonna allow me to do this the most efficiently.”- Gary Wood Resources: www.gewood.com http://gewood.com/clarity-school/ Bio: Gary Wood, PCC, CMCC, BCC has decades of experience and expertise in business, non-profit and ministry environments.
