Purpose: RW Coach training will equip you to provide two types of ministry. Through conflict coaching you can assist others in applying the principles of relational wisdom and peacemaking to resolve specific existing conflicts.

Through RW skills coaching (a relationally focused form of life coaching) you can assist others in accelerating the development of key relational skills that enable them to develop stronger relationships and “get upstream of conflict”.

A key goal of coaching is to help others strengthen and apply key relational skills so they are less likely to experience serious relational problems that would eventually require pastoral intervention or prolonged counseling (see Guiding People Through Conflict).
