What's the difference between coaching and spiritual direction?
Coaching is a partnering relationship between the coach and client to explore the client's goals. It's focus is on creating future steps in the present reality. Coaching helps the client explore possibilities, set a goal, and consider practical ways forward.
Spiritual direction, also called spiritual accompaniment, is not goal-oriented, but rather all about the present moment. The spiritual director, more a companion than a mentor or adviser, offers sacred listening in a safe space to help the directee become more aware of God's presence and communication.
