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. Pat's Ponderings ILCT this month features our unique Christian Track Life Coaching class. We are the only ICF certified program that has a special emphasis for those who want to apply coaching in a faith-based manner, either due to their community or because of their approach to service and stewardship. Dr. Chris McCluskey, MSW, MCC who trained with me in 1998 and is a faculty member at ILCT, approached me in 1999 suggesting this class. This foundational training class would be promoted to a specific market of Christian counselors, clergy and educators. At that time, there were 50,000 members of the American Association of Christian Counselors. With his co-teacher, Judy Santos, MCC they have now taught 17 classes and trained 626 students in this niche training track. The curriculum of ILCT has always had a whole person approach to our training that includes how to work with client’ spiritual goals, life meaning, and purpose inquiry. Sometimes this spiritual aspect crosses into ones’ religious beliefs. Although we promote our training as applicable to all religious affiliations, we offer this Christian Track to a unique market. I believe that the church community is a powerful way for coaching to reach a wider audience. Many of our graduates provide coaching at low cost, or set up church coaching groups. Lynn Meinke, PCC and I are doing a two day training of 30-40 Catholic leaders in a Connecticut Diocese in April. They want to learn to use the coach approach with their ministry, their staff development and as an outreach to their congregations. If this special niche appeals to you or anyone you know, there is more information in this newsletter. The Christian Track Foundational class is identical to our regular Foundational class, however it is taught to an audience of Christian faith-based professionals.

Spotlight on Foundational Coach Training for Christian Counselors The Christian Track Curriculum is designed to facilitate/assist Christians with a people-helping background to move from a professional, pastoral or lay counseling practice into coaching in the shortest amount of time possible. The Christian Track is offered in response to requests we have received from people desiring a model of coach training that integrates principles of Judeo-Christian theology, ministry of the Holy Spirit, and is solidly grounded in Scripture. The course includes all material covered in the regular foundational program. It is taught by members of the Christian Coaching Network and is designed for those counselors or therapists who identify themselves as Christian counselors or for whom Christian beliefs are a major part of their approach.
