Life Coaching has burst upon the scene and grows everyday in popularity among those who seek a partner in optimal living. People see the value of having a professional coach who can assist in designing their future – rather than getting over a past.
Life Coaching (aka personal and professional coaching) has evolved from the blending of the fields of counseling, consulting, organizational development, human potential training. It is a perfect transition profession for therapists, counselors, educators, clergy and other helping professionals who want to offer coaching as a service in their office, community, church or synagogue – or, by telephone.
A Life Coach is a partner who works with individuals, couples, families and organizations who desire to narrow the gap between where they are now and where they want to be in any and all areas of their life - personally and professionally. Relationship Coaching is a specific application for work with individuals and couples who want to live and work more purposefully and authentically.
Participants will be equipped to begin to use relationship coaching with individuals or couples. Participants will also understand how to take the steps to gain coaching certification to add credibility and competence. (Note: While certification is not yet required in the coaching profession, we'll help you understand how to add this optinal credential.)
Institute participants will receive: Two free copies of the Peoplemap assessment (one to take in class and one to take home); generous handouts; access to many coachng articles written by Dr. Patrick Williams; ongoing monthly free coaching teleclasses; and a $100 discount for additional optional training with the Institute for Life Coach Training.
