New Gates agrees with legendary coach, Tony Stolzfus, when speaking on the role and definition of Coaching. Here is New Gates’ preferred method of “Coaching”:

​

“The gift of relationship is the linchpin of God’s strategy for transforming people. Therefore, if we’re working at change, it would make a lot of sense for us to imitate God’s approach. Coaching does exactly that. The key to the heart of coaching is learning to see people as God sees them. As coaches, we consciously choose to interact with our clients in terms of their destiny, not their problems. We get to know them at a deep level: their dreams, hopes, fears, strengths and weaknesses…Believing in people doesn’t work at a superficial level. People do not truly feel believed in until they are truly known. The power of belief only flows fully through the channel of open, authentic personal relationships…when we imitate God by taking the time to really know our clients as unique individuals, giving them unconditional belief and support, the transformation power of God flows like a tidal wave. Relationships animated by the heart of a coach empower our clients to change in ways they never could on their own. “

Coach (v.)

1610s, "to convey in a coach," from coach (n.). Meaning "to prepare (someone) for an exam" is from 1849. Related: Coached; coaching.

 

Confidant (n.)

1610s, confident, "(male) person trusted with private affairs," from French confident (16c.), from Italian confidente "a trusty friend," literally "confident, trusty," from Latin confidentem (nominative confidens), present participle of confidere "to trust, confide," from assimilated form of com, here probably an intensive prefix (see com-), + fidere "to trust" (from PIE root *bheidh- "to trust, confide, persuade"). The spelling with -a- came to predominate 18c. and might reflect the French pronunciation.

​

Consult (v.)

1520s, from Middle French consulter (16c.), from Latin consultare "consult, take the advice of," frequentative of consulere "to take counsel, meet and consider" (see consultation). Related: Consulted; consulting.

Leadership (n.) In Transformational Leadership terms

Leadership is the willingness to lay down one’s life (or agenda) for the people they lead, serve or have influence with.

 

Mentor (n.)

"wise adviser," 1750, from Greek Mentor, friend of Odysseus and adviser of Telemachus (but often actually Athene in disguise) in the "Odyssey," perhaps ultimately meaning "adviser," because the name appears to be an agent noun of mentos "intent, purpose, spirit, passion" from PIE *mon-eyo- (source also of Sanskrit man-tar- "one who thinks," Latin mon-i-tor "one who admonishes"), causative form of root *men- (1) "to think." The general use of the word probably is via later popular romances, in which Mentor played a larger part than he does in Homer.

​

New Gates overview of Mentoring and Coaching. Mentoring implies more of “imparting” wisdom than “empowering” others through coaching wisdom. Tony Stoltzfus says this about mentoring*: “A mentor imparts wisdom and opportunities to a junior”. What can happen at this point is the the leader being mentored only “follows” your lead and may not take the lead to use this information to change themselves and their circumstance. Coaching helps empower them to take the lead and change themselves and the circumstances with the wisdom imparted. (*“Leadership Coaching” by Tony Stoltzfus, copyright 2005, Page viii)
