Our Alignment with Life Counseling Center
I am pleased to announce that I have joined the team at Life Counseling Center in Easton, MD as their Missional Pastoral Coach. Life Counseling Center began June of 1999 in Easton, MD located on the beautiful Eastern Shore of Maryland. The concept was to incorporate the person of Jesus Christ into the counseling process in order to bring relevancy to each client’s pressing issues. Fred Antonelli, Ph.D., founder and director of Life Counseling Center, has built the practice around the scripture, “It is God who is at work in us to will and act according to His good purpose” (Philippians 2:13). They now have offices all over the Eastern Shore of Maryland and up the Delmarva Peninsula to Dover.
A standing philosophy to this day is to attempt to facilitate God’s purposes and power into the lives of each client, helping them to embrace God’s very best for a brighter tomorrow. Dr. Antonelli is also an ordained minister having pastored for twenty-three years. This has given him a keen insight and feel into the pastoral side of counseling. Each counselor brings special skills relating to marriage and family counseling, depression and anxiety disorders to pastoral counseling. Life Counseling Center also reaches out in consulting work with churches, pastors and denominations through providing areas of leadership training and development. As a former pastor, Dr. Antonelli has a great respect and special understanding of the many challenges and pressures that pastors and leadership go through on a daily basis. As a result, relevant insight is given through development consulting in order to address today’s challenging pastoral/church leadership issues.
In recent years Christians have integrated psychology with the Bible and as a result there are multiple Christian Counseling Centers throughout the country. However, there is a critical dimension of Christian life that is missing in counseling centers, and that is business and executive coaching.
In the past 15 years Business and Executive Coaching has gained international popularity across every industry and profession. Its purpose is to coach leaders and their teams to work effectively with one another to increase performance and productivity. Although there are Christians who serve as business and executive coaches; Christian counseling centers have not typically offered professional coaching as a service to their clients. Life Counseling Center’ introduction of professional Business and Executive coaching will make it the first of its kind to offer a comprehensive approach to individuals, family, and work.
Coaching Approach
Business and leadership coaching is a “results oriented” process that equips leaders and their teams with the information and tools they need to fulfill God’s purpose in all aspects of their work life. Christian coaching is scripturally based and focuses on the spiritual and practical implications of servant leadership. It involves a collaborative partnership between a qualified, experienced Christian coach and a willing leader who desires to fulfill God’s potential in their personal and organizational life. The coaching process typically consists of one-on-one leadership coaching and/or team coaching and continues for 3, 6 or 12 months.
Clients include:
1. Professionals: Professionals who want to discover God’s plan to increase their personal and/or professional influence and performance. This includes ministers and Christians in various professions: physicians, attorneys, insurance executives, accountants, etc.
2. Christian Teams: Organizational teams often need an objective coach to help them improve their collaboration with one another from a scriptural perspective. This includes church teams as well as business teams.
3. Corporate Executives: There are many Christian leaders who work for secular organizations who want a Christian coach to help them expand their leadership effectiveness and develop a stronger organizational team.
4. Business Owners: Small to medium business owners who want to learn how to handle the challenges of business from a Christian perspective and to broaden their skills of servant leadership.
Christian business and leadership coaching is designed to help you:
1. Effectively manage your mental and emotional reactions to other people.
2. Renew the excitement and joy in serving others.
3. Act more decisively with less second-guessing about results.
4. Exercise your gifts and talents without needing to please people.
5. Say “No” without feeling irresponsible.
6. Express assertiveness without being aggressive.
7. Replace condemning thoughts with a stronger self-assurance.
8. Eliminate the guilt of taking time away from work.
9. Increase meaningful times with your spouse and family.
I am pleased to join them. Dr. Antonelli has been my coach for the past four years and I cannot speak more highly of him, his character, and his practice. I am thankful for the opportunity he has offered me, as it provides me with additional credibility in the field. If you would like to schedule an appointment through them, you can contact them at 888-581-LIFE. I do coaching either in person, via phone, or through a variety of internet tools including audio and video.
