Mentor
coach
debrief
What kind of support do you need in this season of your leadership? We have leaders experienced as mentors, coaches and debriefers who are ready to connect with you.
The guidelines below will make it easy for you to identify which kind of input will help the most. Choose someone from the list of leaders and connect for an initial conversation.
If you need any further support to get the most out of your connection, or things aren’t going as hoped, get in touch.
If you are able to offer mentoring, coaching or debriefing, drop us a line and we will explore this with you.
Connect with a leader of your choice, who is experienced in the area you need – and who is willing to engage.
Definition: “Mentoring involves intentional relationships in which a mentor imparts knowledge, skills or values from their experience to a person or group of people they believe in, who are teachable and responsive and desire to develop their potential.”
Mentoring is one of the most fruitful, yet underused, methods for personal growth. Having someone to talk to who will summon you to the next stage of development or breakthrough in your life is incredible. The process is enriching for you and rewarding for the mentor. So we want to connect you with leaders of experience, who are able to pass on their knowledge and wisdom.
There are many and varied styles of mentoring and each of the leaders available will take a slightly different approach, but you will have an opportunity of an initial orientation together to see how you can connect as leaders. From that point you can determine how many sessions are necessary to talk and process the areas of your need.
Take a look at the profiles of those who have put themselves forward and connect directly with them to set up an online session. To view our list of Mentors, go ahead and see below.
Guidelines for ELLC in mentoring, coaching and debriefing
Possible time frame for mentoring, coaching and debriefing
If you think that you could become a Mentor, then we want to hear from you. Make sure you get in touch and we will get back to you.
Experience informal coaching from a range of experienced and capable leaders all across Europe.
Definition: Through the skilful use of good questions, the coach helps a client to set an objective, explore options, make good decisions and put those decisions into action.
If you are wanting to make decisions, develop plans or solve problems, make a change or develop new habits then a coach will be very helpful. If on the other hand, you are wanting to learn the basic skills of a job or step into a new role that you haven’t had any experience with, then look for a mentor not a coach.
A coach isn’t necessarily an expert in any of the areas that you want to see change in, but they are expert in asking questions to draw out the various elements that you need to think about to make the best decision and action step.
Connect with your coach:
In YWAM Europe we have a growing number of leaders who have completed the YWAM Coach training – FOCOS, who are willing to meet 1 on 1 to give you specific guidance and input in the areas of growth that you have identified.
Take a look at the profiles of those who have put themselves forward and connect directly them to set up an online session. To view our list of Coaches, go ahead and see below.

Possible time frame for mentoring, coaching and debriefing
If you think that you could become a Coach on a particular topic, then we want to hear from you. Make sure you get in touch and we will get back to you.
Sign up for a single session or plan a series of sessions depending on your need.
Definition: To help people integrate their experience into life as a whole, perceive the experience more meaningfully & bring a sense of closure.
If we are going to integrate our experiences, both positive and negative, we need to talk them through with someone who can guide us and help us emerge with lessons learned and offer help in identifying how to bring closure.
There is a tendency for us to go from one project to the next without taking any time to reflect and process the various issues we have had to experience. Stress from experiences tends to be accumulative and without help in identifying those stresses, highs and lows, and working them through we can end of with layer upon layer of pressed down issues.
Perhaps you have moved to or traveled back from, a very different culture and are needing some support to find your feet or maybe you have had a challenging experience that has brought many questions or confusion and left you without any sense of closure of the event.
The main job of a debriefer is to be an active listener to your story, ask open ended questions to draw out the issues and to give the time to process the issue or event thoroughly.
Take a look at the profiles of leaders who have made themselves available as debriefers and connect directly with them to set up an online session. To view our list of Debriefers, go ahead and see below.
