“Coaching has helped me get beyond problem-solving thought loops toward broader perspective on energy, joy, and mission. As a solo pastor, coaching has also been an essential support in work that often feels isolating. After a few years of coaching, I now think much more intentionally about the kinds of questions I am asking, of myself and the congregation I serve.”

"I have worked with Pastor Sonja as my coach for the past 3 years. During that time she has helped me navigate a variety of complex work and personal situations by listening to me and asking thoughtful questions which help me to find clarity on next steps. Her coaching has been an incredible resource for me, and I am grateful for her helpful insights."

"I lead a college ministry with a great team, but we were having a hard time finding a new vision since the pandemic. Sonja was an amazing fit for us and helped guide us into an incredibly productive conversation that helped us to envision a new path going forward. We joked that it felt like a magic trick because she mostly listened and asked questions and yet it helped us look at the same problems from a different angle. Sonja was a vital part of our ministry moving forward."

"My coaching sessions with Pastor Sonja Ware have been invaluable to my ministry over the last three years. She has a unique ability not only to listen closely to my words but also to detect subtle changes in my mood, face, and spirit as I discuss challenges and joys in my ministry. Each conversation gives me new insight into the answers that are already inside me, an ongoing goal of coaching."

"I first met Sonja during a particularly challenging time in my life, in occupation and health. She helped me sift wheat from chaff, and to focus on how I could change, and what I could change, rather than fixating on things beyond my control. She has also helped me to broaden my perspective, to reframe my situation, allowing me to get a better grasp on what was happening, rather than accepting what others, or my own emotional reactions, had led me to believe."
