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. In my last newsletter, I reflected on the past year and the tremendous growth and development of coaching as well as the training opportunities with ILCT's many classes. As I reflect on the future for 2007 and beyond, I see a tremendous increase in our students seeking CERTIFICATION tracks. More and more of you are realizing the importance of ICF certification for your own sense of professionalism and for embracing coaching as a true profession. The more coaches who become certified, the more important it becomes in the public eye as a way of differentiating a qualified coach from any other coach. For those of you not yet certified, it is important to state that you are a student at a reputable school such as ILCT and that you are on a certification track. Competence and confidence develop together, and the more competent you are in your skills, the more confident you will be in your coaching and in your description of your services. The numbers of certified coaches are advancing rapidly with the ICF and that bodes well for the profession and for the recognition by the public of ICF certification being the gold standard. Would you hire a financial planner to invest your money, or are you more likely to hire a CERTIFED FINANCIAL PLANNER? Would you hire a bookkeeper to do your taxes, or are you more likely to hire a Certified or Chartered Accountant? Make 2007 the year become certified as a coach. If you are already certified, offer to mentor those who are not, as it will add experience and mastery to your skills as a professional coach. I love this profession. I jumped on board early, believing coaching would become a recognized "new" way of helping people live purposeful and fulfilling lives. Now with hundreds of training opportunities and dozens of colleges and universities offering coaching courses, we at ILCT are proud to be one of the most widely recognized international coach training programs, based in strong theory and practical applications for coaching the whole person. Happy New Year and to a prosperous and highly satisfying 2007! Pat Patrick Williams Ed.D., MCC Free Coach Referral Service - NOW

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.
