Tomorrow's
Life Coach In This Issue:
Tomorrow's Life Coach (TLC) is a professional monthly online journal of the Institute for Life Coach Training (ILCT) that nourishes the intellect, intuition and inspiration of the personal/business coaching community. TLC continues to gain in popularity among diverse coaches and is highly recommended by Peer Resources. Pat's Ponderings: Reflections on Being Alive You all know by now that I am passionate about life coaching because I am passionate about purposeful and joyful living. However, I am now recuperating from a skiing accident in my beautiful Rocky Mountains. My neck was broken in two places and I am very lucky to be alive with no major damage. So, I guess I still have much to live for! As I reflect on my fortune, then I turn to my desires to play a bigger game. I don’t create, write and teach only to have a business. Instead, I do all of this to change people’s lives, to offer them an opportunity to wake up to living beyond mediocrity. My purpose in teaching and training others is to profoundly impact the lives of those I teach and train so they (YOU) can profoundly impact the lives of those they work with. We are all lucky to be alive. How are you living your life today? Living Fully, Patrick Williams Ed.D., MCC P.S. We have two specialty courses I want to bring to your attention this month that are unique offerings: Coaching Mastery and Mythic Lives –Living Our Deeper Story . Please take the time to read about these and see if you or someone you know would be perfect for either. Announcements: Are you thinking about becoming a coach? Would you like to add coaching to the services you offer? Pat Williams, MCC, Founder and CEO of the Institute for Life Coach Training, is now teaching a regularly scheduled four- week teleclass:
During this class the following topics will be discussed:

Law and Ethics in Coaching is co-edited by Patrick Williams and Sharon Anderson. With contributions from a dozen academic, legal, and coaching professionals, this book is a must for anyone in the field of coaching or whose organization uses coaching as a service. Sure to be a classic!
Total Life Coaching is more than just a book. It is an interactive experience in which you will find recipes for living your life more authentically, as well as master time-honored lessons that you can bring to your coaching clients [or can incorporate in your own life]. Regardless of the personal coaching techniques or skills you may have learned, you may still not be the most effective coach you can become. This book will help you move closer to that goal.
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. News Update: Coaching Book Accepted in China Kim Ngai lives in Shanghai. He is a Ph.D. candidate for the International University of Professional Studies. As his mentor, I have asked him to read "Total Life Coaching" [written by Dr. Patrick Williams, MCC and Dr. Lloyd J. Thomas.] About a month ago, Kim’s copy of Total Life Coaching was confiscated by customs officials as he was carrying it from Shanghai to Hong Kong. Ten days ago, the book was mailed back to him. He wrote me the following e-mail on April 4th:
Contributed by Lloyd J. Thomas, Ph.D. A Seminar at Sea for Coaches, Consultants, Therapists and Aligned Professionals with Patrick Williams and Lynn Meinke
Plan now to join Patrick Williams and Lynn Meinke for an educational cruise experience in 2007. February is the perfect month to escape the dark and cold months of February and come to have fun in the sun of the Caribbean, and take the trip as educational expense. Come learn and relax at the same time… Our class time will only be while at sea and will not interfere with opportunities to visit the beautiful ports of call. (CEU’s for mental health professionals and certified coaches pending) What If No One Signs Up? ~ C.J. Hayden, MCC It's the nightmare of every professional who offers group programs. You design a powerful workshop, schedule a date, broadcast your marketing message… and no one registers. Then what? Let's assume you have the basics down. You've chosen a compelling topic, identified a likely audience, and clearly described the benefits of participating in your program. Even the price is right. You've already sent information about your program to a list of strong prospects. What else can you do? ~ Preventive Measures ~ First, let's back up a step. There are several measures you can take early on in your promotion that will improve your chances of full enrollment:
~ Emergency Enrollment ~ If your program has low or no registrations as the date approaches, here's what you can do to increase enrollment:
~ If All Else Fails ~ In the last few days before your program, if you still have only a handful pre-registered:
Filling group programs becomes easier when you offer them regularly. When students see the same program advertised two or three times, they are much more likely to enroll. Think of all your marketing efforts as part of a long-term plan to make more people aware of your business. If the outreach for your workshop introduces your business to many new people, you may ultimately find that much more valuable than just filling one program. C.J. Hayden is the author of "Get Clients NOW!" Thousands of business owners and salespeople have used her simple sales and marketing system to double or triple their income.

ICF Prism Award for ILCT Alumnus ILCT is pleased to announce the ICF Prism Award has been awarded to the MINERVA Helping Women Work Program, which is under the direction of Danna Murray, an ILCT alumnus. The MINERVA Foundation is a non-profit organization in Vancouver BC and is dedicated to "helping women work" by providing career mentoring programs to women entering or returning to the workforce. The International Coach Federation honored Danna and the Minerva Program for the innovative integration and commitment of coaching into Helping Women Work programs. Danna graduated from the 2004 ILCT Employee Assistance & Workplace Coaching Program, which inspired her to add the coaching component to the Minerva program. Danna will lead a discussion with her fellow ILCT-EACS alumni in an upcoming Workplace Coaching TeleForum and share her insights about developing and implementing similar coaching programs. Look for an interview with Danna telling us more about the Minerva Program in a future edition of TLC. Contributed by Candia Dye, MA. RCC, Director EA & Workplace Coaching, Graduate of The Institute for Life Coach Training.
