The TEACH Framework for Christian Coaches with Takhia Gaither
Sales Strategies for Christian CoachesShow Notes
What if your coaching program worked more like a great lesson plan?
In this episode of Sales Strategies for Christian Coaches, Justin Janowski sits down with Takhia Gaither, also known as Takhia the Teacher, to talk about what it means to coach like a teacher.
Takhia shares how her background as a classroom teacher, writer, coach, and speaker all connect through one core gift: helping people learn, apply, and grow. She also introduces her TEACH framework, which helps coaches think more clearly about transformation, curriculum, client implementation, and reflection.
If you are a Christian coach, consultant, speaker, or entrepreneur who wants your clients to actually receive, understand, and apply what you teach, this conversation will help you build a stronger path from where your clients are now to where they want to go.
In this episode, you’ll learn: ➡️ Why teaching, coaching, and writing may be more connected than you think➡️ How to identify the gifts God may already be using through your work➡️ Why great coaching starts with the end result in mind➡️ How to break down your process into smaller, clearer steps➡️ Why coaches need coaches, mentors, and continued development➡️ How the TEACH framework can help you build better group programs, trainings, and curriculum
Takhia’s TEACH framework stands for: T - Transform What do you want your client or student to receive? E - Equip What do they need to know, practice, or prepare for? A - Apply How will you help them take action and use what they are learning? C - Cultivate How do all the pieces come together into a meaningful learning experience? H - Honor How will you reflect on what worked, what needs adjustment, and what God is developing through the process?
Justin and Takhia also talk about Christian Coaches Academy Live 2026, where Takhia will be speaking on how to coach like a teacher and build a stronger lesson plan for your coaching work.

Sometimes they don't, and that's a good thing. Modeling a mentor can take you further faster, but copying everything can leave you resenting your own calendar or pricing like someone else. Here's how to learn from the best and still ask, "Is this for me?"
For a lot of Christian coaches, it's "Do you want to do this?" at the end of a sales call. Or what to ask after "I need to talk to my spouse." Or the one we ask ourselves: Am I good enough? Here's how asking the next question sets both of you free.
A short solo on building a calendar that protects you from burnout without stalling your income. Put life on the calendar first. Then give your sales work a real place every week.
In this episode, I talk with financial coach Tina Antrim about money clarity, confidence, and how to make wiser decisions when income feels undefined. Tina shares her P2D2 framework — pause, pray, discern, decide — and a free money clarity quiz.Tina’s free money clarity quiz: https://antrimfinancialcoaching.com/money-quiz
In this episode, I walk through what I would do if I woke up tomorrow and Faith2Influence was gone — and my family was relying on me to rebuild a coaching business that actually produces income in month one.I share the early failures (one paying client in 2012, three in 2015) and what changed when Faith2Influence started in 2018: a $60,000 first-year goal that became more than $250,000 in revenue. Then I break down the three things I would focus on if I had that same urgency again.Day one: a simple business plan. A clear mission around a problem people will pay to solve, one or two high-value offers, and one path to present them.Day two: build prospect and referral-partner lists from the people you already know, and lean on existing trust.Day three: start conversations. Send messages, follow up, and get on sales calls quickly. Keep an hour each weekday for outreach, because that is where income is created.This one is for brand-new Christian coaches, and for anyone who has been hustling in the wrong places and wants to get back to what actually works.Chapters:00:00 Starting over from zero00:55 Lessons from failure and breakthrough01:53 Build a simple business plan02:51 Write a clear mission statement03:19 Create one or two high-value offers04:13 Establish a signature offer05:11 Choose one offer presentation strategy06:11 Build prospect and referral lists07:31 Use existing trust for early sales08:00 Start conversations through direct outreach08:56 Follow up consistently10:21 Prioritize income-producing work11:16 Begin sales calls quickly12:14 Return to the fundamentals
