Do you have the keys for unlocking potential?

As a nurse, when teaching health education to my patients and their families there were times when I would ask questions to make sure that they were understanding the information, and sometimes I would get blank stares or even very short answers. Then there were times when the same patient or family member would give a longer explanation to my questions. I didn’t know then what I now have learned about having the right keys.

A life coach helps their client’s process by providing the keys to help unlock their client’s potential. Asking the right questions will aid in their process of learning, understanding, growing, and adapting in order to achieve their goal.

The “Why” questions help to bring meaning, purpose, and reasoning.

The “What” questions help to bring concepts, actions, and details.

The “How” questions help to bring skills, methods, and operations.

The "What if" questions help to bring adaptation, imagination, curiosity, and risks.

SHANNON’S CORNER The Saga Continues… The trip to Malaysia consisted of a two-day spiritual retreat with the theme of ‘Come Away With Me’ and a six-day conference with about 230 missionaries who serve in some aspect of translating the Scriptures. One of the many people who I met was a missionary who served in Cameroon for many years and now is in a new role. As he was sharing, most his words were very negative and depressive. I encouraged him to sign up for a time of prayer and care.

His new word he used to describe where he was now is ‘delightful.’ Our time there was creating a safe space for these missionaries to have a place to share what they are struggling with and to connect with Jesus. One missionary is at a crossroads in her life. Another finds himself in the midst of betrayal. A missionary is in a new role as a caregi...

You Are Not A Role

You are not your job title. You are not your productivity. You are not only the caretaker, the leader, the helper, the strong one. Those may be things you do —beautifully, even sacrificially—but they are not the whole story of who you are. Your worth is not defined by your output. Your identity is not limited to your roles. Coaching begins when we ask: What would it look like to live from that truer self, even just a little more today?

SHANNON’S CORNER Connect. Nurture. Grow. The breathtaking Himalayas greeted us each day—rugged, vast, and full of awe. Their majesty reminded me of the greatness of our God, and yet this same God longs for an intimate relationship with each one of us. How good and amazing He is. From the moment Kristi invited us to join the team, she emphasized the importance of flexibility—because in South Asia, plans rarely go as expected! One teammate called it “organized chaos.” Yet even in the many shifts and surprises, God moved in powerful ways. During our time there, we: • Debriefed two couples and three third culture kids. • Shared meals with other missionaries and families. • Enjoyed coffee with several of Kristi’s local friends and the guest house owner. • Facilitated a mini-retreat for a missionary and our team. • Hosted a retreat with about 25 missionaries and nationals. • Offered eight prayer appointments during the retreat. Many nationals shared that t...
