I am Pr. Phil Gustafson, a retired Lutheran Pastor, NLP Master and Life Coach with PCC Certification. In my coaching I seek to help a client connect their spirituality, their faith, to life situations for a more empowered and resourceful life. I use NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programing) to assist in this journey. I enjoy working rostered leaders to help them move from a present state, of whatever context, to a desired outcome – a more empowered, resourceful state so any challenges can be made into opportunities. I live in Sun City, AZ and presently serve as a Transitional Interim Pastor to Grace Lutheran Church in Phoenix, AZ in addition to coaching. I have an ICF PCC Certification, ELCA Level 1 and Level 2 (Discipleship) Certificates. I am also certified for the MBTI and WHY.os and team coaching. I have worked primarily with rostered leaders as clients with improving ministry context, seeking solutions in toxic situations, beginning new ministries, and burn out. My website is www.faithmindset.net and you can learn more about me there. WHY and WHY.os are discovery tools to help you learn why you do what you do. WHY.os helps you also learn how and what you do.
Mission: Cultivating Your Calling
Vision: Nobody Journeys Alone
Coaches connect dreams to concrete actions that create change for individuals and congregations.
The ELCA's offices are located on the ancestral homelands of the Peoria, Bodwéwadmi (Potawatomi), Myaamia (Miami), Očhéthi Šakówiŋ (Sioux), Hoocąk (Ho-Chunk), and Kiikaapoi (Kickapoo) tribal nations. We give thanks for their presence here since time immemorial.
