Lessons
1. Principles of Leadership Coaching and Mentoring
Michael Brodeur introduces coaching and mentoring as complementary ways to develop people. Coaching draws out a person’s understanding through questions and listening; mentoring contributes wisdom, encouragement and accountability. The lesson connects both with knowing the individual, building trust and helping them grow into meaningful responsibility.
2. Coaching and Mentoring Pastors and Leaders
Michael Brodeur explores mentoring across generations, with particular attention to clear expectations and a dependable development relationship. The lesson considers common failures—neglect, inconsistency, control, broken promises and condescension—and asks how leaders can prepare people to mentor others. Use it to agree a practical development rhythm with one person.
3. Coaching Church Planting and Planters (12/16)
Michael Brodeur completes the series by connecting personal mentoring with the development of pioneers and church planters. He uses Paul’s relationship with Timothy to explore mission, character, practical growth and responsibility, then explains how a mentor’s approach changes as a person matures. Use the lesson to plan one small pioneering opportunity with clear support and a review point.
