Inviting Ingenuity: Catholic Coach Certification
Introduction:
Join me on a journey that blends faith, service, and professional growth as I embark on a mission to obtain a Catholic Coaching Certification. My name is Bradley Esterbrook, and I've been deeply involved in the vibrant Catholic Bearcat Community and in a Saint Paul's Outreach Household. Through my experiences within this community, as well as my professional endeavors as a production engineer, I've come to recognize the profound impact of service, transformational conversation, and mentorship. Now, I'm seeking your support to obtain a certification that will not only enrich my personal and professional life but will also allow me to give back to others in meaningful ways.
My Story:
Throughout my time at the University of Cincinnati, I learned invaluable lessons about creating opportunities to serve and engage in transformational conversations. Through Saint Paul's Outreach, I've developed a deep understanding of the importance of community, mentorship, and living out Catholic values in everyday life. These experiences have shaped me into a passionate advocate for positive change and service within both my personal and professional spheres. Through my experiences, I've come to believe that true transformation happens when we dare to take a risk knowing that God will provide and embrace the generosity of the unique perspectives and gifts of living in the depths of community.
After graduation, I will be working as a production engineer, in which my main responsibility will be developing an apprenticeship program. This will complement my love of service, creating community, and education. Since I accepted the offer, I have been asking the question: Is there a way I could weave Catholic values into the very fabric of our apprenticeship program, fostering a culture of purpose-driven work and servant leadership?
Additionally, my involvement with Saturday Hoops, a local nonprofit, has shown me the profound joy of being a role model for children in need. I believe that obtaining this certification will equip me with new skills and insights to engage with these children in even more impactful ways in the future. By integrating coaching techniques rooted in Catholic principles, I aspire to guide them toward personal growth, resilience, and a deeper understanding of their inherent dignity as children of God.
Vision for the Future:
Beyond my immediate professional aspirations, I envision using this certification to invest in the local young adult community. As young adults navigate the complexities of finding meaning in their careers and lives, I aim to be a source of guidance and support. By providing assistance in career navigation and offering resources rooted in our Catholic faith, I hope to empower others to discern their gifts and talents and become good stewards of God's blessings.
Join the Journey:
Your support is crucial in helping me obtain this certification and continue my mission of service and leadership rooted in Catholic values. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of countless individuals, fostering a community of faith, mentorship, and empowerment.
With your help, I aim to learn the foundational lessons moving towards implementing a training framework that goes beyond the conventional, equipping our colleagues with the tools and insights they need to thrive in both their professional and spiritual journeys. Infusing our Catholic values into the program, providing my coworkers with new language and tools to understand the intrinsic value of their work. By incorporating principles of stewardship, integrity, and compassion, I hope to create an environment where our work becomes not just a means to an end, but a path towards personal and communal fulfillment.
Whether through financial contributions, prayers, or simply spreading the word, your involvement in this campaign is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for joining me on this journey of service and transformation. Together, we can make a lasting impact in our communities.
