Welcome!

It was an exciting experience back in February to fly to Timisoara, Romania, and do a one-week NCD training that was video taped by a Christian TV station. All the video material has been edited over the last months and is now available (in English) on DVD, tape, and multimedia CD-ROM (with PowerPoint slides on the same screen as the video).

The purpose of recording this training week was to make a complete and high quality NCD training available to pastors and their implementation teams (and also to NCD coaches) at low costs -- and without being dependent on seminar dates or going abroad.

We hope you will find these new resources helpful for your ministry and appreciate your feedback. You can also view a demo video (low quality) online here (CD-ROM version) and here (DVD version). For more information, click here.

Every blessing for your ministry,

Christoph Schalk

The Rare Power of Listening

Although there are many ingredients to successful coaching, the most important one by far is listening. It's the essential cornerstone of every coaching relationship. How do you get to know someone? By listening. How do you build trust? By listening. How do you help people think through their goals, their options, their feelings? By listening. People want to know they are being heard. How many times have you heard yourself or others ask: "Do you know what I mean?" Real listening is rare. ―> more...

I Used to Run Things
