Course Overview:
To be a life coach means to help clients create satisfying and fulfilling lives. Participants in ILCT'™s Coaching From The Inside Out program are required to have completed ILCT' Employee Assistance & Workplace Coaching Specialist Program™ (EACS). In the 20-hour foundational EACS program, participants have learned the required skills and strategies to help clients/employees discover what authentic and happy lives are, set and achieve goals, remove obstacles, and create visions and plans.

The twenty classes in "Coaching From the Inside Out" form a unique set of tools and methods that enable coaches to coach their clients or employees to design their lives for both professional and personal fulfillment. This includes, of course, the client's ability to design their ways of being and working successfully and in accordance with what is most important to them. The tools & skills are presented in a sequence that coaches may choose to use with their clients. They may also be used in other sequences, to match the specific goals and needs of clients. Some of the classes present skills and techniques that are also applicable and beneficial when working with small groups and work teams.

Participants will be using their own lives and work as a practice field for the Inside-Out work. They will also work with a peer coaching partner as part of their fieldwork; utilizing the coaching support of their peer-coach, they will probe deeply into their own lives as a model for working with clients/employees. Participants will explore: what is important to them, what values they hold deeply, what needs they have that have become obstacles to personal and professional fulfillment, and how to utilize life-work balance concepts to focus effectively on work and other life components.

The course instructor draws on and presents research and resources in Positive Psychology to reinforce how coaches can apply the methods taught to assist clients and employees in creating long-lasting and meaningful change within their work and personal lives.
