Beliefs Chart Coaching        (Click here for printable coaching brochure)

Beliefs Chart coaching invites individual participants to engage in long-term reflection on their own beliefs and principles. This reflection takes into account the profound impact of relationship pressures on the formation, modification, and abandonment of beliefs and principles. As participants become clear on a few beliefs and principles which are really their own, their life course can become steadier. Furthermore, they become a resource to their churches in anxious times with their increased capacity to choose a principled course of action.

Phases and Format of Process

The initial Beliefs Chart coaching process outlined below takes twelve to eighteen months, though participants may choose to extend the process. Telephone sessions are scheduled every six weeks.

Construction of Beliefs Chart (4 Sessions)

Participants are given a series of questions which invite information on changes in relationships and changes in beliefs over the course of their lives. This information is used to construct an initial version of the participant’s Beliefs Chart.

Beliefs Chart Analysis (2 Sessions)

Participants reflect on their Beliefs Chart with the goal of observing how some beliefs may have functioned primarily to support relationship postures such as distancing, cutoff, or enhanced togetherness. The facilitator offers observations for participant reflection.

Focused Research (2 Sessions)

At the participant’s discretion, additional work may be done in researching the details of changes in specific beliefs or relationships.

Further Beliefs Chart Analysis (2 Sessions)

Participants take new information into account in doing further reflection on their Beliefs Chart.

Decision-Making (2 Sessions)

Participants clarify how they decide what to believe, and what actions they will take next.

Upon completion of the phases outlined above, the participant may choose to schedule further consultation sessions focusing on a) further reflection on their Beliefs Chart or b) efforts to act on their beliefs within their work or other relationship systems.

Costs

The cost for Beliefs Chart coaching is $60.00 per hour for time spent by Bob Williamson in phone sessions with participants and in preparing participant Belief Charts.
