Therapist
as Life Coach: Transforming Your Practice
by Dr. Patrick Williams MCC, Deborah C. Davis
At last, a book for mental health professionals considering a transition into the new and dynamic field of life coaching! Therapist as Life Coach explores life coaching as a profession, examines the relationship between life coaching and therapy, and details the variety of options for professionals considering either a transition into coaching or expanding their practices to include coaching.
ILCT recently presented a call and tool to make the processes for coach certification easier to understand. The information provided from these sources explain both the ILCT "Certified Life Coach" credential and the International Coach Federation’s Professional Certified Coach credential, and are based on ILCT’s coach training program.
A group call was presented on certification earlier this month. A recording was made which can be accessed at your convenience by dialing 405-244-4000 and entering box 584 when prompted. This call is hosted by Pat Williams, CEO, and Edwina Adams, Director of Operations. The "Certification Game," developed by Edwina, can be downloaded from http://www.lifecoachtraining.com/The_Certification_Game.pdf. Additional information for "I want to be a certified coach" is at http://www.lifecoachtraining.com/about/certification.shtml.
The process is made easier at ILCT by their simple steps and strict attention to ICF requirements. If you are considering ILCT for your coach training, join the free Introductory Class offered twice a month. The next call is on March 1. Register at http://www.lifecoachtraining.com/courses/free_intro/index.shtml.
For current students or alumni who have not reached the level of being a "graduate" of ILCT, it would be to your advantage to do so. This would increase your credibility and also, make the ICF credentialing process easier.
Come to ILCT and become a great coach…aspire to inspire!

Christian Track Starts Two New Classes in March
The Christian Track of the Coaching Foundations Course is designed to facilitate/assist Christians with a people-helping background to move from a professional, pastoral or lay counseling practice into coaching in the shortest amount of time possible.
Two class are beginning on March 27 (meeting on Mondays and Wednesdays at either 2:00 pm or 6:00 pm EST.) The course is held for 40 hours over six months, and is accredited by the International Coach Federation.
The Christian Track has been developed in response to requests we have received from several people desiring a model of coaching training that integrates principles of Judeo-Christian theology, ministry of the Holy Spirit, and is solidly grounded in Scripture.
The course includes all material covered in the regular foundational program, including texts and the student manual. The class is taught by members of the Christian Coaches Network and is designed for those counselors or therapists who identify themselves as Christian counselors or for whom Christian beliefs are a major part of their approach.
The Christian track is facilitated by Christopher McCluskey, PCC, founder of Coaching for Christian Living and Judy Santos, MCC, founder of the Christian Coaches Network.

Business Coaches Needed for New Orleans Business Owners
There is a need for experienced business coaches/consultants who want to volunteer to work with businesses in New Orleans that have been impacted by Hurricane Katrina. This is an active project with a developing client list. All positions are PRO BONO.
The Coaching Business Owners Project of Coaching Makes a Difference is underway with an on-site visit to New Orleans. We have met with several organizations and business owners and have learned much about the issues and needs of business owners impacted by Hurricane Katrina. As you might imagine, reduced or shifting client bases, lack of available employees and concerns about the levees (potential for future flooding) are big issues at this time. Excluding the levees, strategies are needed for addressing these and other immediate business issues.
For more information, please visit http://www.coachingmakesadifference.com. You may also contact Kathy Mallary, Project Director, at 425-821-9150 or kathy@spiritspring.com.
The Falling Awake beginning workshop will take place April 9-11 in beautiful Sonoma, California. The cost is $645 plus transportation, lodging and $100 for meals. This experience is highly recommended by Pat Williams. (The course does count for 30 ICF hours from the Institute for Life Coach Training.)
