Tomorrow's
Life Coach In This Issue:
Tomorrow's Life Coach (TLC) is a monthly online journal from the Institute for Life Coach Training (ILCT) that nourishes the intellect, intuition and inspiration of the personal and business coaching community. The fall season is upon us, except for those of you in the Southern Hemisphere where it is spring. Either way, this is a time year for transition, change, recharge, and new growth. One of our most popular advanced classes has been Dr. Carol McClelland’s Seasons of Change: Using Nature’s Wisdom to Grow Through Life’s Inevitable Ups and Downs, which uses the metaphor of seasons and changes in nature — very useful and practical for coaches. As I ponder this month about my own transitions, I become more aware of how all of our clients are in varying stages of transition or change. After all, change is a constant. In addition to all the projects with which I am involved this month (including the ICF conference in St. Louis, and a five-day training program in Hong Kong), I am having a total knee replacement on November 20th. This is a huge transition for me after tolerating six years of pain due to a knee with no cartilage from a tennis injury. And, in December my wife Jill and I are moving back to Palm Coast, Florida, where we lived from 1996-1999. Given the tragic loss of her oldest son this year and needing a change, we are excited to be moving near other members of her family and plan to return to Colorado in the summers. What could be better? We are even contemplating buying a fifth wheel RV and a new truck to travel in the summer months and see parts of the country we haven’t seen. After all, if you can get cell phone coverage, you can access wireless internet, right? I love this idea! We may visit students and faculty as we travel next summer. Stay tuned. I am the king of transition, though this may be a bit much (smile)! As you enter this new season, be conscious of your own self-care and the wonders of seasonal change. Some change is inevitable, some change we choose. But we can still learn and grow from all of it. For those coming to St. Louis for the ICF, remember, we are having an ILCT party Friday 5-7 p.m. Please come and meet other alums, faculty and Edwina. See you there!

Dr. Patrick Williams' Coaching Symposium In Sorrento, Italy — 2007 Transforming your Practice: Life Coaching Skills for Therapists: This symposium has been designed to provide participants with an understanding of the theory, historical perspective, and practical methodology of the profession of personal and professional coaching and how it has evolved. This symposium will clarify the distinction between therapy and coaching and participants will learn skills that are transferable from the field of therapy while identifying skills that need to be "unlearned." This symposium has been designed for participants who would like to further understand the field of coaching and how they may incorporate it into their practice, or evolve their practice into one entirely focused on coaching. Live coaching and video demonstrations, audio sessions, practical experience, and interactive worksheets will be utilized extensively to illustrate coaching principles and techniques. Enjoy this interactive seminar, in a beautiful part of Italy, have fun and (if your tax professional agrees) write off the cost of the trip!!!! Date: Sunday, September 30th to Friday, October

Lisa Kramer, President of Living with Intention, LLC, is a professional coach, trainer, speaker and writer. Her vision is a planet inhabited by masterful coaches, and she created Living with Intention in 1998 to inspire others to gain greater fulfillment, balance and effectiveness in their business and personal lives—to be their own best coach. Lisa is committed to lifelong learning. Her professional background includes over twenty years combined experience in university teaching, clinical social work, coaching and coach training. As a coach, Lisa specializes in relationship coaching with couples as well as mentor-coaching. She is the author of Loving with Intention: A Guide for Relationship Coaching in which she presents her Conscious Relationship Coaching Model™ to assist couples to create extraordinary relationships. Lisa joined the faculty of the Institute for Life Coach Training in 2003. Her work with ILCT is a perfect fit for her as it incorporates coach training with a high caliber of professional students as well as collaboration with a seasoned and dedicated faculty. She designed and teaches an advanced course in relationship coaching with couples which combines aspects of Imago theory, the work of Dr Harville Hendrix, with a coaching methodology. She also teaches the Foundation Competency Practicum and the Foundations curriculum. Since 1991, Lisa has been on the faculty of Widener University School of Human Service Professions, located outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She is currently working with doctoral students in physical therapy to develop their professional portfolios. Lisa is currently engaged as a leadership coach with MBA students at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. She thrives on the diversity of her work, and she seeks out professional challenges that stretch her out of her comfort zone. Lisa received her Master’s degree in social work from the University of Pennsylvania, and she completed graduate coursework in human resource management. She is also a certified Imago Relationship therapist. When not coaching, Lisa enjoys spending time with her husband, Eric, and on most days she can be found walking in some of the local parks with her yellow labrador retriever, Bailey. Lisa has two young adult sons and plans to travel to Barcelona, Spain next spring where her older son will spend his college semester studying abroad. Expand
