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 - Business Case for Leadership and Executive Coaching Between 25 and 40 percent of Fortune 500 companies use executive coaches, according to the Hay Group, an international human-resources consultancy. According to a survey by Manchester, Inc., a career management consulting firm out of Jacksonville, Florida, about six out of ten organizations currently offer coaching or other developmental counseling to their managers and executives. Another 20 percent of companies said they plan to offer coaching within the next year. Although it was once used as an intervention with troubled staff, coaching is now part of the standard leadership development training for executives in such companies as IBM, Motorola, J.P. Morgan Chase, Hewlett-Packard and many others. Brokerage firms and other sales-based organizations such as insurance companies use coaches to bolster performance of people in high-pressure, stressful jobs. We announced last month our new program this Fall for a leadership and executive coaching credential (Certified Leadership Executive Coach – CLEC) In part we are expanding our existing track because of the rapidly expanding need for this coaching niche, and partly because of the expressed feeling among many of our students that they need additional training and credentials to work as corporate and executive coaches. So utilizing instructors who have a proven expertise in the leadership and executive coaching arena, we will begin offering the best training for the best leadership and executive coaches this Fall. We hope you will participate in this process by asking questions, joining us for the Coaching Forums on July 22nd and August 26th, visiting our new website www.leadershipcoachtraining.com, and letting us have your input about what your needs are in this area.

Transpersonal Psychology, born of the 1970’s, but influenced from the theories and practices of Jung, Assagioli, Maslow and many others, has found a home in Transpersonal approaches to Life Coaching. Total Life Coaching is the operating system of all coaching because we are working with whole human beings. Transpersonal approaches include methods and language to explore and discover new learning for the coaching client in the areas of Body, Brain and Being — or Body, Mind and Spirit. The spiritual element is sometimes difficult to discuss or to apply in coaching. However, having received his doctorate in Transpersonal Psychology in 1977, Dr. Williams will cite research, theories and practical aplications to add the transpersonal approach to your coaching psychology toolkit. Today, more than ever, coaching is attracting clients who are willing and desire to engage in deeper conversations beyond their business success or leadership skills. Behind those ‘door openers’ are the depth of transpersonal, whole person, deep conversations of meaning, purpose and spirituality. Dr. Williams will present brief sumaries of the key theorists of transpersonal psychology and their connection to coaching today. In addition, call participants will have the opportunity to

Emotional Intelligence The concept of emotional intelligence became popular after the immense success of Daniel Goleman’s books in the 1990s, Emotional Intelligence, Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ, and Working with Emotional Intelligence. The business community was rocked by the research that overwhelmingly showed that up to 90 percent of one’s performance effectiveness was due to emotional savvy rather than technological knowledge. The evidence is now clear that people skills are far more important than IQ when it comes to the bottom line. Not only are emotions very much a part of the work experience, but to a large degree they set the course that a company follows. Unlike IQ, which is unchanging from childhood on, emotional intelligence can be developed. In fact, it usually does become greater with age and maturity. The importance of developing one’s emotional intelligence is essential to success in the workplace. Utilizing the power and energy of one’s emotions leads to high motivation, and improves problem-solving and decision-making. People work better when feeling good, and feeling good about oneself and others requires good management of emotions. Some people are better at this than others, but everyone can learn the skills. Understanding emotions contributes toward building an emotionally intelligent organization. An emotionally intelligent organization can be imagined where:

Patrick Williams Ed.D., MCC Life Coaching involves supporting clients in discovering and creating what they most want in their lives. The coaching process calls forth the best in both practitioner and client-eliciting information from previously un-accessible places deep inside. Body, mind and spirit are one. This workshop will assist participants to deepen awareness by turning attention inward to listen to one's inner voice and messages from the body using breath and mindfulness. This is of paramount importance for whole person wellness. Engaging body, mind and spirit creates a deeper sense and experience of our authentic selves to forward the action toward achieving one's goals.
