Introduction
Chuck Whitley
I have coached professionals for over 10 years in identifying their vocational calling and
purpose. In this time I have equipped and empowered leaders to grow their organizations through the integration of spiritual formation and leadership development. Everyone can hear from God, but not everyone can coach others in clarifying what they hear. Success is accelerated when God moves organizations forward. When professionals live their vocational calling they align themselves with where God wants to take them and their organization. The value I bring is the ability to help you make that alignment.
VISION
- My vision is to help professionals gain clarity with God to grow their organizations, influence culture, and flourish cities.
MISSION
- Equipping professionals to achieve their calling through executive coaching.
“Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right thing.” -Peter Drucker
What is Executive Spiritual Development?
Executive Spiritual Development is the merging of two disciplines: executive coaching and spiritual direction. The coach is ultimately a facilitator that guides you into deeper encounters with God. When this happens, you will receive personal renewal, strength and a new perspective. Innovation is driven by insight from God. In Executive Spiritual Development, ultimately God is your coach.
Why Executive Spiritual Development?
Executive Spiritual Development is a response to a growing need among professionals to live a wholistic, balanced, and authentic life. Modern society has often told us that to be successful we must divorce our beliefs and values from corporate life. At 4C Business, we have found that the opposite is true. When we live as whole people, we are better leaders. When we draw inspiration from God, we are more creative. When we follow our values, we are trusted and respected. When we instill dignity by being socially and environmentally responsible, we create meaning. Profitability is the outcome because society is looking for organizations that are trustworthy. In Executive Spiritual Development we show you how faith and work come together in healthy and sustainable ways. Ultimately, it comes down to supply and demand. We have reached a tipping point and society is looking for organizations that value integrity and have a vision for a better world, but the supply is low. Will you meet the demand? Will you let us show you how?
What is Executive Spiritual Development like?
In Executive Spiritual Development the coach will start by asking if you have any questions that only God can answer. A typical question might be, “Why do I get angry so often?” or “How do I negotiate with a potential investor from Dubai?” There are no bad questions. The goal of the session is for you to receive the answers yourself. The coach may ask you to repeat prayers out loud and then instruct you to pause and listen. At first, God may bring to mind things that block your connection. As you share with your coach the things that come up, your coach will guide you through prayers that resolve what is being revealed. When this happens clients often report feeling like a burden was lifted from their back. You may also begin to receive insight into how the blocks have affected your relationships, management style, or decisions. Next, you will be encouraged to ask your questions. At this point, clients often report receiving insights that answer their questions, as well as, receiving clarity in overcoming difficult problems. The coach will then help you discern your inner voice from God’s voice and review any action steps.
Do I have to be Christian to do Executive Spiritual Development?
Spiritual directors have advised the rich and the poor alike for thousands of years within the Christian faith. It has long been noted that, no matter our background, we have all been wounded in life. Because of this reality, the only qualification is a desire to grow spiritually. Faith in Jesus is not a prerequisite, but it is advised.
