PROVEN 6-STEP METHODOLOGY

Pressure’s off, friend: your expertise isn’t the defining factor of your coaching. Founder Jess Connolly developed our 6-step framework as a tried-and-true structure to guide others out of complacency and fear and into action. Our six steps have helped thousands of individuals and teams in a variety of seasons and industries take obedient steps forward. Now, it’s your turn to use them with the people you’re called to.


To "quit" is to let go of unhealthy
motivations and unhelpful expectations, so that your client can be motivated by what is most productive, while also heading on a clear path.

“Who” is determining the people groups your client is uniquely created to serve. "Who" not only helps give you direction and vision, it also brings motivation and a sense of passion.

“What” is helping your client determine how their unique strengths, story, and weaknesses
equip them to serve their who.

“Fear” is helping a client name their fears, take the power away from their fears, and fight their fears with truth.

“Vision” is where we help clients determine where they’re headed long term while creating a few measurable action steps. Vision is working backwards with freedom and intention.

“Go” is where we partner with clients to move forward with urgent and immediate action.

MIRRORING

and

QUIT

We kick off with two foundational elements to Kingdom coaching. You'll learn how to apply the Quit step in every season, as well as learn how to steward what's left in the wake of quitting. You'll also be trained in the foundational mirroring practice, which differentiates you as a coach from other transformative guides, and will be the #1 tool in your coaching toolbox.

This is a pivotal moment in your coaching training & personal journey -- when the fear comes up. We don't work around fear as Kingdom coaches; we go right into it, in Jesus' name. You'll learn how to handle fear with gentleness, bravery, and Biblical conviction. During this week's session, you'll also learn how to structure your actual coaching sessions! We'll train you in the core elements of a one-hour coaching session and work with you to apply the same principles to your coaching style.

JESS CONNOLLY

Meet Your Coach

When I first started coaching, “coaching” wasn’t the thing it is today. Here’s the honest story of how it happened:

About 10 years ago, my inbox was overflowing with “how did you do that?!” emails:

I found that I didn’t just want to answer their “how” questions with my copy-paste plan– I wanted to help them own and build their own thing. I wanted to know about their vision, their fear, their gifting, their people. 

I started taking 1x1 calls, then I added a podcast and a group program — it all became coaching, under Go + Tell Gals.

Here’s why I’m giving you all the backstory:

It took me years to figure out my gifts of strategy, vision, leadership, and exhortation were actually a calling. It took me years to figure out what coaching could look like for Kingdom women.

And I really, truly desire for you to not wait years to figure out that you are called to coach.

You don’t have to be certified to start using your gifts, but take it from a gal who figured it all out on her own – this is exactly what I needed back in 2015.

See you there,

How did you build that ministry?
How did you start writing books?
How did you launch your Etsy shop?
How did you grow your blog like that?
How did you get people to come to your conference?

faq

what are the program dates?

The 2025 cohort of the Go + Tell Gals Coaching Certification program begins on September 24, 2024 and runs for 9 weeks, culminating in our Charleston, SC retreat on December 8 and 9, 2025.

The retreat is December 8 and 9, 2025, in Charleston, SC. All retreat costs are covered. Coaches are responsible for transportation, lodging, and meals outside of retreat hours.

The certification costs $4,700 in total and multiple payment plan options are available. There's a $100 deposit for everyone, and then you can choose to pay in full, in 4 monthly installments of $1,175, or in a year-long plan of $391.66 for 12 months.


After 5 cohorts of coaches and retreats, we've come to find that the retreat is an essential component of the coaching certification process.

While it's not "required," if you're unable to attend the retreat this year, we encourage you to consider waiting until can attend!

when is the retreat?

how much does the program cost?

do i have to attend the retreat?

YES! If you already have an established coaching practice, we believe this certification program will add significant structure, support, and insight to your work. Many of our coaches have existing practices or informal coaching experience!


YES! If you are brand-new to coaching, you will find incredible value in calling out your gifting, developing your coaching skill, and launching your coaching business. Many of our coaches are new to coaching!

is this for me if i'm already coaching?

is this for me if i've never coached?
