Leadership Coaching

Do you feel a call to leadership? Would you like to partner with a trained professional who is devoted to God’s best for your life and willing to invest in your growth, development, and spiritual transformation?

If so,  leadership coaching might be for you.

I’m Professional Christian Coach Mary Yerkes, and I coach and mentor emerging and established leaders, professionals, women’s groups, pastors, and para-church leaders concerning leadership development, spiritual formation, effective and sustainable ministry, burnout, missional living, and more.

For more than 25 years, I have served the body of Christ in multiple and diverse leadership roles, including women’s ministry leader, professional writer and speaker, event speaker, Bible study teacher, prayer counselor, and more.

My call and heart’s desire is to invest in Christian women who are called to leadership in their churches, communities, and the marketplace. Ideal clients include pastor’s wives, church or para-church staff, women’s ministries leaders, women called to writing and speaking ministries, marketplace leaders, and emerging leaders.

Master Leadership Challenges

Specifically, leadership coaching can help you:

  • Discern your life’s calling, strengths, and spiritual gifts, using specialized tools and assessments, including the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI) personality inventory.
  • Maximize potential and explore possibilities
  • Improve performance
  • Pursue God-given dreams and desires
  • Identify and maintain a sustainable pace of life and ministry
  • Balance the call to leadership with the needs of your family and appropriate self-care
  • Identify next steps in your life and ministry
  • Establish spiritual disciplines and a life cadence that enables you to fulfill your life’s call in the power of the Holy Spirit
  • Create a leadership development plan
  • And more

So They Say

Here’s what one client had to say about working with Mary:

“The Calling Discovery Workshop and spiritual life coaching with Mary Yerkes have been two of the most effective and life-changing encounters I’ve experienced! As a leader of leaders, I have participated in numerous trainings and gifts analysis opportunities over the years. This was different. The Holy Spirit used Mary to conduct deep, life-altering work in my life both personally and professionally. Those seeking authentic, spiritual transformation should give purposeful and serious consideration into partnering with Mary through a workshop or through her spiritual life coaching.” ~ Stephanie Smith, Vocal Pastor, Manassas Assembly of God
