As a professor of positive psychology and coaching psychology at Harvard Medical School I am highly aware of the quality of numerous life coach training programs. . . Dr. William's Institute for Life Coach Training program is of exceptional quality in terms of the various theories represented and the translation of those theories into practice. A high educational standard is consistently maintained. I'm very pleased to have graduated from this program myself, and to have personally experienced the benefits.

Welcome Message from Dr. Pat Williams

Welcome to the Institute for Life Coach Training! We initially specialized in training counselors, therapists, psychologists, social workers, and other professionals in the profession of life coaching. Today, over 50% of our students are from other people professions (teachers, human resource professionals, lawyers, financial planners, occupational therapists, nurses, doctors, and aligned professionals).

Life coaching, as we envision it, encompasses all coaching specialties, i.e., business, corporate, wellness, leadership, and other areas of coaching. Our philosophy of life coaching is a whole person, non-directive, client-centered approach that focuses on client development.

Our training is via teleclass (by phone) — there are no charges for travel, hotels, or food. Our program offers choices to prospective students who are interested in:

  • Full-time professional coaching with International Coach Federation (ICF) certification;
  • Part-time coaching;
  • Incorporating coaching skills into a current profession;
  • Personal growth opportunities.
In 1998, I recognized many other therapists were frustrated with the profession and wanted to work more in the arena of possibility rather than pathology. The Institute for Life Coach Training grew out of a desire for people to focus on living a more fulfilling life, not just coping. Our training is based on the best of psychological theories of adult development, human change, positive psychology, humanistic traditions, and systems theory, among others. It is well grounded in applied research. The skills we teach work.

I hope you find that our school facilitates your journey toward becoming a masterful coach. We look forward to having you join our community!

Happy coaching!
