Email Val | 610-406-8450
Dr. J. Val Hastings, MCC, is the Founder and President of Coaching4Today’sLeaders and Coaching4Clergy. Val hired his first coach while he was pastoring at a local United Methodist church. His progress was noticeable by all, and he began to wonder, “What if I adopted a coaching approach to leadership?” In that moment, a vision began to emerge—a global vision of Every Leader a Coach.
Dr. Hastings is the author of numerous books and has developed four coach training programs which are accredited and approved to the highest level by the International Coach Federation. These trainings are offered globally and are offered in many languages, including English, Spanish, Portuguese, Ukrainian and Korean. Graduates of these programs have received all three coaching credentials: ACC, PCC and MCC.
Val currently holds the designation of Master Certified Coach through the International Coach Federation, its highest coaching designation. He also holds the designation of Professional Mentor-Coach and serves as an ICF Assessor for the ACC, PCC and MCC coaching credentials. In addition to teaching at his own programs, Val holds faculty status at Coach University. In 2006 Val was a presenter at the global gathering of the International Coach Federation and, in 2007, he served as the President of the Philadelphia ICF Chapter.

Coaching from the Inside: The Guiding Principles of Internal Coaching
Written by J. Val Hastings, MCC
This book highlights some of the unique challenges that are faced when coaching inside your own organization. In comparison to existing coaching literature, which typically focuses on external coaching, this book provides a toolkit specifically for internal coaches. J. Val Hastings draws on over 20 years’ of experience, in addition to international interviews with current internal coaches in a range of industries, to explore the questions that create the foundation of strong internal coaching practice:
• How do you manage potential conflicts of interest as an internal coach?
• How do you coach when you have a vested interest in the outcome?
• How do you seamlessly change roles as an internal coach?
• How do you help leaders understand what coaching is, as well as its value – and yours – to the organization?
• How do you coach the system?
Important reading for all internal coaches and coaches in training, this book provides a key set of guiding principles and puts practical resources into the hands of the people who need them.
