Slingshot Group

Partnership

Our desire through coaching is to inspire leaders to take their leadership to the next level. Coaching is about inspiration. It is a contractual process, which leads the client to an advantage. It is not intended for a competitive advantage, but one toward individual improvement and progress. The role of a coach is to lead people to think creatively, in new ways, not to tell them what to think.

We believe fresh eyes to any situation can be extremely helpful. Successful coaching relationships move people toward a much deeper understanding of their contribution as pastors, shepherds, leaders, team members, spouses and parents.

In this proposal, we outline what the coaching process involves and delivers. Please keep in mind that while Slingshot Group offers coaching options, we recognize that it is necessary to tailor these to fit the clients’ needs. This will simply give you an idea of what we offer. Together, we will create the agenda and deliverables of our coaching relationship.

General topics covered range from Leading with Clarity throughout the church, Strategic Planning, Succession, Ministry Team Development and Culture, Expanding Ministry Momentum, Stewardship and Generosity, and Change Management.

Better Together

Slingshot Group is on-site with churches every week helping
BUILD REMARKABLE TEAMS.

Coaching agreements include long-term, short-term, and hourly options depending on the ministry's need and momentum.

Commonly, partnerships begin with a on-site visit and 3-month engagement, leading to a longer-term retainer as positive impacts, momentum, and relationships are experienced.

Living out the Great Commandment and Great Commission TOGETHER is catalytic and exponential.

ABOUT US.

YOUR COACH

Jay Stearley has over 16 years of ministry experience. He has most recently served as an Executive Pastor with one of America’s top 100 fastest growing churches as designated by Outreach Magazine in 2016. He completed an M.B.A. in Management as well as an M.A. in Christian Leadership and Ministry.

THE COACHING TEAM

Our Coaching Team brings years of experience and cutting edge thinking to staff and local church and organizational development.

WE HELP PEOPLE LOVE THEIR WORK.

Coaching// IMPROVleadership

Help your team reach the next level

Improvisation is performing without a script. And though it gives the appearance of spontaneity, real improv requires practice and preparation to develop the ability to act and react in the moment.

At Slingshot Group, we’ve developed the IMPROVleadership coaching model to help leaders build trust, encourage risk-taking, increase collaboration, and promote creativity. Which in turn, moves people towards being more committed to their roles and performance.
