Burnside Coaching
Refreshing Conversations for Your Calling
Welcome.
If you've come here from Burnside Coaching, you're in the right place. I'm Iain Sutherland, and I'm so glad our paths are connecting here.
Burnside was built on the idea that intentional, refreshing conversations have the power to bring clarity and renewal to your personal and professional calling. While the name has a new home here at Coach Sutherland, that core mission remains the same.
This space is dedicated to providing specialized coaching and supervision for those in church, ministry, and faith-based leadership roles. Below you’ll find the focused services that can help you process challenges, navigate transitions, and deepen your impact.
Services for Your Journey
Here are the ways we can work together to support you in your vocation. Each service is founded on a confidential, thought-provoking coaching partnership designed to empower you to find the best path forward.
Pastoral Supervision
A dedicated and confidential space for ministers and those in pastoral roles to process the demands of their vocation. This is the essential ‘pit-head time’—a session to wash off the work's grime before you take it home. Drawing on 30+ years of pastoral experience, this restorative practice helps prevent burnout and ensures you can sustain your calling for the long haul.
Leadership Coaching
Leading in a faith-based context comes with unique challenges and opportunities. I bring over 20 years of church leadership experience to our sessions, but my role as your coach is not to consult, but to ask powerful questions. We'll work together to help you and your team process transitions, expand your thinking, and fully live out your calling with renewed vision and confidence.
Spiritual Accompaniment
A profound 32-week journey designed to be woven into the fabric of your everyday life. Based on the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, this extended retreat provides a structured path for deepening your spiritual life through daily prayer, reading, and meditation, supported by regular guidance and conversation.
Ready for a Refreshing Conversation?
Whether you are seeking supervision, leadership support, or a deeper spiritual journey, the first step is a simple conversation. I invite you to schedule a complimentary, no-obligation call to explore how we can work together.
