The 7-V Tool to build
Financial Strength
Introducing the Seven Virtues (prudence, justice, Moderation, courage, faith, hope, and love) into financial coaching can help guide mentees towards a Christ-centered approach to managing money. As a mentor, you play a crucial role in facilitating discussions, encouraging reflection, and helping mentees internalise these virtues. This strategy will guide you on effectively using discussion papers in your sessions.
Using discussion papers focused on the Seven Virtues offers a structured and thoughtful way for mentors to guide mentees through the intersection of faith and finances. By exploring virtues in the context of money management, mentors can help their mentees achieve not only financial health but also spiritual growth.
Using the G.R.O.W.N. method, mentors can guide their mentees through structured, thoughtful sessions that build on each virtue’s strengths.
As you implement this strategy, remember that the goal is to impart knowledge and foster transformation. Be patient, encouraging, and prayerful as your mentee embarks on this journey. By consistently applying the virtues, they will grow into more faithful stewards of God’s resources and live out the call to honour Him with their financial decisions.
This mentoring strategy combines teaching, practical application, accountability, and reflection to create a holistic growth experience for your mentee.
The 7-V Model is built on 7 Virtues.
Three are the thological virtues of faith, hope & love -
and four are the classical virtues of prudence, temperance, courage 7 justice.
Each virtue teaches how to develop 5 financial strengths.
