Spiritual Direction
Our Spiritual Direction services create space for you to notice God's presence in your present life, deepening your awareness and fellowship with God in your daily life. Your spiritual director helps you listen for God's direction and consider how He might invite you to respond.
Leadership Coaching
Studies continue to show: leaders who participate in coaching are more effective and exhibit long-term health, effectiveness, and vitality in their personal and professional lives.
Coaching is a purposeful and focused relationship that encourages a healthy rhythm of reflection and action in a leader’s life. Coaching encourages leaders in areas where they may feel stuck or overwhelmed. The coach’s purpose is to help the leader get “unstuck” through empathetic presence, active listening, incisive question-asking, resourcing and, holding space for much-needed reflection.
Coaching is not telling a leader what he or she should be doing. Instead, coaching seeks to frame situations by asking questions and inviting the leader into deeper reflection about their life and leadership in order to bring clarity to their context. The goal is for the coach to draw out of the leader what he or she already has inside of them.
Over the past several years we’ve had the privilege of coaching hundreds of leaders in a wide variety of sectors such as business, non-profit, ministry, military, athletics, the arts, tech, higher education, and law.

Consulting
Many leaders and teams often feel stuck, overwhelmed, and ill-equipped to face the complexities they face. Utilizing an experienced outside voice and different perspective provides valuable insight, resourcing, clarity, encouragement, and perspective to overcome these unique challenges.
Through our consulting services, we’ve partnered with a wide variety of leaders, groups, teams, and boards to help them name their most pressing issues, identify their most important priorities, and develop a specific action plan to gain traction and overcome the challenges they are facing.
And we’d love to help your organization overcome your unique challenges as well.
Whether you’re a non-profit, business, university, or ministry we can help you get unstuck by:
identifying specific areas of strengths and weaknesses
developing a clear understanding of already existing assets within your organization
clarifying priorities which help define a clear path of action steps, and
offering multiple recommendations, tools and resources for next steps.
This includes:
Individual leader assessments

WHAT IS SPIRITUAL DIRECTION AND HOW IS IT DIFFERENT FROM COACHING?
In both coaching and spiritual direction, the focus is on your life. A coach and a spiritual director both express curiosity on your behalf by asking open-ended questions, listening for significance beyond the words you say to help you reflect on your own life. The goal of both spiritual direction and coaching is to help you to become more aware of yourself and to bring greater intentionality to your daily living as you seek to steward what God has entrusted to you.
So, what’s the difference?
Coaching
In coaching, your coach collaborates with you and inspires you to take meaningful action toward your vision of the future by setting purpose in the present. Often, coaching includes setting goals, finding balance, and pursuing dreams. A coaching session might begin with celebrating any action you have taken since the last session, naming any resistance to the goals you set, setting purpose for today’s session, working through a particular issue you present, and developing action steps for you to take. The coach might wrap up the session by asking you to name what you found to be most valuable today. Coaching is primarily future-oriented and action-focused.
Spiritual Direction
In spiritual direction, your director creates space for you to notice God's presence in your present life. Your director helps you pay attention to God's movement in your life, deepening your awareness and fellowship with God in your ordinary, daily life. You and your director will listen together for God's direction and will consider together how God might be inviting you to respond to what He is doing in you and through you. Your director might begin your time with a spiritual discipline (scripture reading, meditation, sacred poem, meditation, etc.) to help you to shed the noise of daily life, followed by a time of silence for you to notice whatever God brings to your mind. Based on how you choose to respond to God's activity, your director may offer some spiritual practices for you to consider and will end your time with prayer. Spiritual direction is primarily present-oriented and focused around who you are and who are you becoming.

Group Coaching
Kairos Group Coaching brings the power of leadership coaching into a small group setting in order to deepen awareness, prompt action, and foster accountability within a safe, conversational setting alongside others.
In 2024, Kairos Coaches will lead 9-month Cohorts for Pastors, Associates, Youth Workers and Ministry Leaders. Think of these “Mastermind Groups” as a way to make new friends from across the country and connect with those who seek to enhance one another’s ministry goals on a month-to-month basis.
We also offer Cohort Tracks specifically for Young Leaders, called the Young Leaders Equipping Cohort. This cohort is offered to leaders – male or female – between the ages of 22 and 34 who desire to learn rhythms of health, glean wisdom and perspective, and acquire valuable tools and resources to implement in their leadership contexts.
