Female Worship Leader Group Coaching

Unlock your full potential as a worship leader in your church context with this 5-Month Slingshot Group Coaching experience.

Whether you are developing into becoming a worship leader with the hopes of a vocational ministry position, or have been leading worship for 20+ years, this group is designed to foster community and personal leadership development for those who want to fast-track their growth alongside others.

This coaching experience will equip you with real tools and strategies to help you gain competence and confidence in your worship leadership. Each month, you will walk away from the group Zoom call and personal 1:1 followup call with tools you can implement immediately within your context. The monthly content is carefully designed to connect on broad topics (see below), to then be fine-tuned to your specific needs and context in your monthly 1:1 calls.

The following topics will be covered in our monthly calls, accompanied by light reading material.

• Find Your Voice - We will learn how to lead in a way that is authentic to you. From verbals, prayers, transitions, to leading meetings, we will work on identifying your voice.
• Show Up - We will discuss how to show up and appropriately take up space within our ministry contexts. We will dive into the benefit of being a proactive rather than reactive leader, and will identify when we are susceptible to a victim mentality.
• Clarify Your Culture - We will identify what makes your worship team or church special, what you want your team to be known for, and how this shapes the ministry opportunity you invite others into as you grow your team.
• Crucial Conversations - We will discuss how to have them and lead through them with high EQ, kindness and clarity.
• Band Speak - We will learn the basics of each instrument and a variety of overarching technical terms in order to communicate well with our band members.

• Monthly Group Coaching Calls (75 minutes). Each call will present new, customizable tools to help you in your ministry role.
• Monthly 1:1 coaching calls with Becky Ykema to address what matters most to you.
