Dr. J. Val Hastings, MCC

Val10croppedsquare-e1410044867391-150x150Dr. J. Val Hastings, MCC, is the Founder and President of Coaching4Clergy, which provides specialized training for pastors, church leaders and coaches. Val hired his first coach while he was pastoring at a local United Methodist church. His progress was noticeable by all, and he began to wonder, “What if I adopted a coaching approach to ministry? What if the larger church adopted a coaching approach to ministry?” In that moment, a vision began to emerge—a global vision of Every Pastor, Ministry Staff and Church Leader a Coach.  Val is the author of the books, The Next Great Awakening: How to Empower God’s People with a Coach Approach to Ministry; Professional Coach Training: Developing Ministry Excellence and Effectiveness; Change Your Questions, Change Your Church: How to Lead with Powerful Questions; and the e-books,1 -2-3 Coach: Start Coaching in 60 Minutes; and Coach Your Way through the Scriptures: A Tangible Way to Use Coaching in Ministry.  He also compiled the book, Ministry 3.0: How Today’s Church Leaders Are Using Coaching to Tranform Ministry. Val currently holds the designation of Master Certified Coach through the International Coach Federation, its highest coaching designation.

If you have come to help me, you are wasting your time. But if you have come because 
your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together. 
~ Lilla Watson 
 
This quote captures the essence of why I am passionate about teaching CEOL’s course: Bearing Witness to Self and Other. I hold that my participation at every session is for me at least as much as it is for our students. As I bear witness to my self, Alyssa (my co~teacher), and our students, I am alive with that which is ineffable. It is a gift and a privilege to collectively hold this space for myself and others as together we navigate our way in learning how to be with grief without succumbing to old habits of moving away in fear. 
 
  • I am a facilitator of The Work of Byron Katie; this work makes my heart sing
  • I have 12 years of experience coaching teenagers and parents
  • I do Hospice volunteering.

 

 

Alyssa Canann, PCC

Working with people in grief and at end of life moves me in myriad ways. Grief and death invite us collectively and as individuals to plumb new depths of feeling, of connectedness, of what it means to be human. It is a privilege to participate in the development of End of Life Coaching students. Together, we deepen our capacity to bear witness to self and other, an essential prerequisite to grief work.

We are all just walking each other home.    ~ Ram Dass

Alyssa’s mother, father and husband died, separately, within the space of nineteen months. She is inspired by those willing to talk openly about death – from aspects mysterious to mundane – and by those who fiercely urge us to accept and honor the reality of grief.

Other Roles/Training include: Certified End of Life and Grief Coach, Certified Death Midwife, Hospice Volunteer, Twilight Brigade

Testimonials (Scrolling up)


“Don’s end-of-life coach training is an absolute life-changing program. On my first day of class with him, I brought zero coaching experience to the table, but carried a ton of grief on my shoulders. By the end of Don’s program, he not only molded me into a professional coach, but he also helped me cope with the pain of my own tragic loss. His wisdom, his compassion, and his unwavering effort to prepare his students for the coaching field are what make Don an exceptional educator and mentor.

Thank you, Don, for being you and for doing what you do. You’ve made me a better man!”

-Andy Karam

 

“The grief and end of life coaching program is amazing.

Don has done a wonderful job putting it all together. It begins with the basics of coaching till you accomplish competency in life, grief, and end of life coaching.

I have done several ICF accredited programs prior to this one, but never gained the confidence in my coaching skills. With this program, and Don’s help, I became the coach that I was striving for.

Thank you Don!”

-Dr. Lina Al-Aswad

 

“I always felt like something was missing in the previous coach training courses I took until I found Don’s Coaching at End of Life program. Don is masterful as both a coach and a trainer and does a exceptionally thorough job of equipping coaches at the highest professional level. His training style is one of a kind and I highly recommend this coach training program.”

Ali Kennedy

 

“Grateful for Dr. Don and his life-changing work and mentorship through his End of Life Coaching Program. He made learning about coaching and the topic of life, grief and end of life, transformative for us as his mentees, which in turn provides a profound impact on the people that we coach. I highly recommend him as a coach and mentor, and his programs.”
