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. April . . . a time of new beginnings . . . new growth . . . awakenings. Just as all of nature, we have our periods of renewal and new growth. Spring seems to emphasize that as in nature it is quite purposeful. We can be renewing and growing all the time, but this time of year is the time to really blossom. Where are the seeds you have planted beginning to grow? What is getting ready to spring forth from your fertile soil? Are you tending to what needs nurtured??? As Pangloss said in Voltaire's classic book Candide, "we all must cultivate our gardens." I just returned from my three week personal odyssey to Tanzania, Africa with 10 men on what was called an Inventure experience. I was unplugged for three weeks and away from anything familiar. This journey was a very unique way to separate from my normal life so that I would experience non-ordinary thoughts, emotions, and a deep connection with the place where life on earth may have begun. I feel I have changed on many levels, including a cellular level. I am the same, but different in ways not yet expressed. I am still Patrick Williams, just like a rose is still a rose, when it bursts forward with new vibrant flowers; yet I know what is emerging in me is new, more vital, more beautiful. I can't wait to see what comes from the growth that is occurring. Where are you growing in your life? The more you grow as a person, the better coach you will be. Where are you assisting your clients with their growing edges? Remember, life coaching is a whole person approach to being purposeful and fully alive. As Diane Menendez and I say in our new book, Becoming a Professional Life Coach:
ON purpose ~ PatPatrick Williams Ed.D., MCC
With his bestselling Therapist as Life Coach, Pat Williams introduced the therapeutic community to the career of life coaching.

This four-day seminar is designed to provide professionals an understanding of the theory, history and practical methodology of professional coaching as a field. The seminar 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" in order to be an effective coach. Dr. Williams developed this workshop specifically for mental health professionals who would like to further understand the field of coaching and how they may incorporate coaching into their practice, or evolve their practice into one entirely focused on coaching. Live and video demonstrations, audio sessions, practical experience, and interactive worksheets will be utilized extensively to illustrate these principles and techniques.

5th, 2007 (six days, five nights) Seminar Deposit or More information Announcing Coachingtheglobalvillage.org Dr. Patrick Williams, Ed.D, MCC, plans to bring the without borders concept to coaching; seeking to create positive social change for the underserved, undervalued, underfed, undereducated, and underappreciated in many of the resource poor villages and towns of the world. Dr. Williams and other advisory participants are in the planning stages of a program which will utilize coaching to benefit those who want to improve their lives economically, socially, spiritually; and live more purposefully — to thrive rather than survive. They intend to use coaching as empowerment to evoke local wisdom; with guidance to make collaborative and permanent changes to standards of living; while teaching techniques that will live on after the coach trainers are gone.
