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. As I write this month, my mind is on my upcoming journey to Africa for three weeks in the bush of Tanzania. This journey will be led by Richard Leider, who wrote Claiming Your Place at the Fire. I met Richard in Vancouver at the Future of Coaching Summit and we sat at a table and discussed the role of spirituality in coaching. How can we bring the conversation of spirituality to a higher level of consciousness without crossing the confusing and personal boundaries of religious beliefs? How can we avoid debating who is right and who is wrong? I was born and raised with Christian beliefs as taught by the United Methodist Church. I then studied international religions in college. I have continued those studies, expanding my knowledge with much of it being paradoxical or challenging. That is why I tend to focus on basic beliefs and basic truths of all religions as well as other teachings that emphasize love, cooperation, right living, and service. Many of us would agree that there is much debate over who has the "truth" and how is it shared or transmitted to people. I am going on my quest to Africa for adventure and for personal discovery. I will be away from any routines that I know and will be where many believe human civilization began thousands of years ago. I will be unable to contact my wife or family during these three weeks. I will be keeping a journal, engaging in conversation with my fellow travelers (nine other men), and tribal leaders along the way. My reflections with be on spirit, meaning, purpose, and calling. What can I take from this birthplace of humanity that I can bring back to a world that sometimes seems contradictory to the word progress? Can I get a deeper connection to my true spirit that is my gift from God, universal consciousness, and the mystery of life in the largest sense of the word? How will this affect my involvement with the profession of coaching, with the training and writing that I do? My purpose has been to influence and inspire the lives of many so that they may influence and inspire the lives of those they work with. That purpose led to the development of a coach training school that has reached thousands. I can have a larger impact by giving quality training and personal development opportunities to those whose paths I cross. I have trained and attracted marvelous teachers who represent ILCT and my vision. And we have been proud that we are one of the few coach training schools (and one of the first) to include a major part of the training on "coaching from the inside out". That is our attempt to ground our teaching on the spiritual and transpersonal development of the coach and their future clients. True inspiration means to take in spirit…the breath of life, the energy of purpose, and the unique calling of each person. That is my goal – to inspire others. Pat Patrick Williams Ed.D., MCC New England Educational Institute 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. Participants will learn skills that are transferable from the field of therapy and identify 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.
