Become a Confident Catholic Mentor
Learn skills and gain resources in Catholic accompaniment that get people engaged, maximizes your impact, and guards against burnout.
Whether you're formally working as a mentor, in ministry, or simply a person who feels called to accompany others, have you ever felt...
- Like you see so much potential in others, but aren’t sure how to help them reach it?
- Annoyed that you are more engaged than your mentees in their own growth?
- Like an imposter who is winging it every time you're with a mentee?
- Irritated that your mentees aren’t listening to your advice?
- Overwhelmed because you don’t know how to set and keep boundaries?
- Frustrated that your mentees just aren’t getting better?
What’s more…
- Maybe you’ve read the books and learned the theology, but still struggle to make it practical.
- You’ve tried sharing your own story and what worked for you, but that’s not working for them.
- You’ve tried a “tough love” approach to get them into action, but it’s hit or miss at best.
- You’ve tried mimicking someone else’s mentor style, but it feels inauthentic.
But what if that didn't have to be you...
What if...
- You could offer mentees a clear path to unlock their God-given mission
- You knew the psychology behind ethical influencing so you can help mentees get motivated and take action.
- You had a clear and repeatable process to mentor effectively so you could stop feeling confused and stay focused.
- You had an approach that was less about how much you know and more about the mentee and God’s work in their life.
- You knew how to set and keep healthy boundaries so that you can avoid burnout and help mentees take responsibility.
- Regardless of your mentee’s ultimate decisions and results, you could still feel free to love and accompany them going forward.

"I thoroughly enjoyed this mentorship training.
In fact I've already been mentoring two people within my parish using the materials provided and they are finding it very helpful.
I really feel like I can take this information to people within my community and parish to help them discern and discover their uniqueness and to step more fully into what God is calling them to.
The worksheets provide me with the tools I need to walk clients through this process. The Discernment Guide that Metanoia Catholic provided is my favorite tool from the course and I use this daily in my own life!
The practical application sessions were great - explaining a process and showing a process are very different and seeing it 'live' was so much more helpful. I'm excited for more offerings like this moving forward."

FAQs
Yes! We have been approved to operate by our local ordinary (bishop).
We ground our teaching in the Catechism of the Catholic Church and are committed to teaching only what it is in line with the Magisterium. Our coaching model includes God in your pursuit of goodness, because we believe that true Beatitude (our ultimate goal of supreme happiness) is only attainable through virtue and grace. God is the only author of good, and our purpose is to know and choose God’s plan, not invent it. Finally, we recognize that self-development takes place in the context of a spiritual battle, so we equip our clients with the knowledge, tools, and resources of our Catholic faith to resist the enemy as they seek Beatitude.
There is a lot of overlap between coaching and therapy, but here are three important distinctions. First, mental health practitioners can diagnose and treat mental illness, while coaches do not diagnose and treat mental illness. Second, coaches and therapists work with different people on the spectrum of mental health. Therapists work with people who are mentally ill or living below a baseline of what is considered to be mentally healthy (though they can also work with healthy people who desire greater wellness), while coaches help people who are mentally healthy (at or above baseline) achieve greater wellness. Third, mental health professionals work with patients on past, present and sometimes future wellness, while coaches tend to focus on present and future wellness with a targeted goal in mind.
Coaching focuses on human formation, such as helping clients work toward a noble material goal or increase in acquired virtue. Spiritual direction focuses on developing a person’s prayer life and relationship with God. Coaches typically meet with clients more frequently (daily, weekly or biweekly) while spiritual directors typically meet less frequently (6-8 weeks). The coaching relationship is typically focused on short-term goals with a finite end, while spiritual direction is long-standing and may span the life of the director or directee. Coaching and spiritual direction can work effectively in conjunction with each other.
