Starting with an amazing Taste of Heaven encounter, Transforming the Heart unfolds the workings of the human heart You'll learn the MetaFormation Heart Model, how to work with beliefs and deep desires, coaching the emotional brain, and much more!
Living from the Heart is an amazing experience of meeting God in your life story and finding he has been involved in your life in ways you never dreamed.
Coaching the Heart will show you how to have life-changing, live dialogues with Jesus, right in your coaching sessions. It’s heart transformation instead of behavioral modification.
Receive specific encouragement and feedback on skills you learn in Transforming the Heart in these seven 90 minute mentor coaching sessions with a Leadership Metaformation facilitator.
It's a whole different way to change--from the inside-out.
Jesus taught that outward behavior comes from what's inside us. So Encounter Coaching focuses on the heart of the matter: the unmet desires (for love, security, significance, etc.) that drive our behavior, and the beliefs that guard those desires.
The goals-and-actions methodology of mainstream coaching works--IF you're dealing with rational brain problems. But what gets us really stuck (our fears and foibles, wrong beliefs, or defense mechanisms) happens in our emotional brains. That's where Encounter Coaching shines!
Using self-discipline to keep the lid on what's in your heart is a losing battle. So Encounter coaching deploys a powerful set of tools to create experiential encounters with Jesus--right in your coaching sessions--to produce transformational change.

In short, there are four main courses (the left column). We strongly recommend taking Foundations of Encounter Coaching first--the other three can be taken in any order.
Each course has a peer practice component that follows it (the second column). The final three courses feature a set of group Mentor Coaching sessions (3rd column) that parallel the peer practice sessions. During this time, trainees are accumulating coaching experience hours (4th column), both inside the certification program and with your own coaching clients. when you've accumulated the required 100 hours, you submit the coaching hours worksheet and go through our graduation ceremony!
