Christian Coaches Network is a professional organization of Christian coaches. Its reach is international. Its values are Christ centered. Its mandate is to support coaches and help the public access the highest caliber of Christian coaches in the world, men and women who are experts in their respective fields, committed to their own professional development and operating with the highest of integrity and generosity of purpose.
The President and Director of Christian Coaches Network is Gary Wood, an International Coach Federation credentialed coach and a Certified Master Christian Coach. Through his coaching firm, G.E.Wood and Associates, www.gewood.com , Gary specializes in consulting with and coaching senior business and nonprofit leaders and executives.
A Bible teacher, speaker and writer, Gary is the author of 52 Solutions for Those Who Need a 25 Hour Day , a practical book aimed at improving personal work effectiveness. He and his elementary school sweetheart Alice, now wife of 37 years, live in the beautiful Muskoka region of Ontario , Canada
Through more than 35 years experience in business and in leading and working with leaders and volunteers, God prepared Gary to provide vision and direction for the next phase of Christian Coaches Network. He assumed leadership from founder Judy Santos, who passed away in early 2010.
Judy launched the Christian Coaches Network in 1998. Her bold vision and effort attracted like-minded Christian coaches who shared a vision to collaborate in professional association and create a conduit between Christians and trained, professional Christian Coaches.
Judy began coaching full time in 1997, and after graduating from Coach University in 1998, she later led over one hundred tele-courses, training new coaches. She was awarded the Master Certified Coach designation in 2004 from the International Coach Federation and went on to serve on the faculty for the Institute of Life Coach Training, co-leading the first ICF accredited life coach training program led from a Christian perspective.
