ILCT has provided training for more than 10,000 professional coaches working with a variety of populations and venues ranging from nationally recognized corporations to schools and colleges, individual practices to health care firms, and non-profits to the military.
"ILCT has been an amazing program for me. The breadth of courses, the experience of the instructors, and the community that is fostered with the students, faculty, and alumni help you grow beyond the end of your program. It is hard to put into words the personal transformation that is fostered through such a professional program but you become a better person because of it. Only one problem...So many incredible courses to choose from, hard to decide what to take!"
–Michelle A., MSEd, MSEC, CWC, BCC
If the whole credentialing process seems confusing, I’m not surprised and would love to talk with you about which best fits with your vision to be a coach. Please give me a call, or complete the Contact Us form so we can provide you with additional information.

"I completed three courses with ILCT and recently earned the Board Certified Credential. ILCT offered a flexible schedule and diverse array of classes that meet certification requirements and matched my specific areas of interest. The instructors were all active in their own coaching practices and brought a rich set of experiences to each class. ILCT's materials and web site were invaluable tools supporting the learning process. I would highly recommend this program for anyone seeking to learn coaching or enhance their skills."

ILCT was recommended to me by someone I trust. I had done no research of my own prior to registering for this class. I am impressed with the ILCT's choice of instructor's, course content and student library. Thank you for creating a wonderful experience. -Helen F., BSBA, MA, PhD
"The entire staff has been a pleasure to communicate with. They all walk the talk of positivity, encouragement, professionalism, and quality. I appreciate Kelly, Amy, and Ellen's input and time. They each answered my questions quickly and resolved any requests. They made me feel important. Thank you!" - CS

I'm a recent graduate of ILCT. I've been moved to offer this testimonial about Ellen Ritter because she has truly been a great friend and helper to me. Life coaching is my second career which I have chosen at a mature point in my life. Ellen has always been there for me as a cheerleader telling me I could do it--and this when I really wasn't sure I could. While at ILCT, Ellen was - and still is, as I have later gone about being a coach- a great aide and advisor still giving me ideas about coaching techniques. With all the candor and honesty I can muster, Ellen is truly thoughtful, warm and caring. She is ILCT's Dean of Students, but still finds time to rescue individual students from floundering - as I should know. ~ Melvin S., JD, MSW
"I've done my Foundational Course and Coaching Skills Practicum with an absolutely inspiring, wise and life changing teacher Lynn Meinke. Lynn taught us that in order to truly and professionally take care of your clients, you should ensure superb care of yourself. These two classes contributed significantly into making this happen for me: I've discovered my life purpose and personal values, built confidence in my skills and ability to master coaching relationship with a client and found my way of contribution to making world better by revealing life coaching power. In these classes I was rewarded by significant personal inspiration and published two books in half a year and my third one is on it's way! I just wish I'd found ILCT and life coaching earlier in my life." – Ausra B.
"I am continually impressed with the professional quality of the training and support ILCT provides to aspiring coaches and just wanted to say that I’m proud to be affiliated with such an organization. I recently fulfilled the ILCT coursework for the BCC certification, passed the BCC exam several weeks ago, and am now launching my coaching practice as a BCC. I greatly appreciate the on-going training and support you offer your graduates through these monthly teleconferences." – Irene E., M.S., B.C.C.
“I cannot say enough positive things about my experience as a student at ILCT! Every step of the way I received support from the faculty, students and staff. Not only did I receive a high quality education in coaching, but I was able to develop my coaching skills with application and structured peer groups. I was mentored and guided when choosing new classes that fit my goals and mission. After completion of the program, I continue to receive support from ILCT as I prepared for the BCC exam, and still continue to receive mentorship and guidance as my coaching business evolves with my mission and purpose. I highly recommend ILCT to anyone entering the coaching field or interested in learning coaching techniques.” – Katie K., BCC, BCS

The 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." – C.K., Assistant Clinical Professor, Harvard Medical School, Department of Psychiatry
"ILCT has been an amazing program for me. The breadth of courses, the experience of the instructors, and the community that is fostered with the students, faculty, and alumni help you grow beyond the end of your program. It is hard to put into words the personal transformation that is fostered through such a professional program but you become a better person because of it. Only one problem...So many incredible courses to choose from, hard to decide what to take!" –Michelle A., MSEd, MSEC, CWC, BCC
"I completed three courses with ILCT and recently earned the Board Certified Credential. ILCT offered a flexible schedule and diverse array of classes that meet certification requirements and matched my specific areas of interest. The instructors were all active in their own coaching practices and brought a rich set of experiences to each class. ILCT's materials and web site were invaluable tools supporting the learning process. I would highly recommend this program for anyone seeking to learn coaching or enhance their skills." –Larry T, BCC, MA

Ellen’s journey with ILCT began back in 2005. After completing a Ph.D. in Psychology, she realized that she no longer wanted to focus on what’s wrong with individuals, but wanted a strength-based approach to help individuals not only survive but thrive in their lives. Learning about ILCT’s renowned life coach training program was one of those lightbulb moments, and she enrolled in ILCT’s Foundations course immediately, later becoming credentialed as a Certified Coach and a Board Certified Coach.
She was appointed to serve as a member of the Global Convention of Coaching’s committee on Research in Coaching, serves on various ACTO Committees, including Membership and Scholarship, and has a Professional Certification from Florida State University in the Fundamentals of Neurodiversity.
In 2008, Pat Williams hired Ellen to be ILCT’s Admissions Coordinator and she has been working with ILCT students in various capacities ever since. “It’s a real honor and pleasure to work directly with each student, to be part of their journey to become coaches who go out and make this world a better place.”
Ellen splits her time between Clearwater, FL and Long Beach Island, NJ with her labradoodle Libby, and loves traveling to each coast to see her two grown sons, their wonderful wives and her new granddaughter.

Image Guidance has powerful implications for life coaching and is fully aligned with the International Coach Federation’s core competencies and Code of Ethics. Used briefly, as a forward-focusing tool rather than as a strategy for re-visiting the past, Image Guidance offers a doorway into self-knowledge (I know who I am) and self-awareness (I understand my dreams, desires, fantasies, motivations and purpose, as well as the limiting beliefs that are stopping me from living the life I want to lead).

This book has been a standard for therapists who wish to transition or expand their practices into life coaching. Pat Williams have finally revised their classic practice-building book for today's therapists and future coaches. The book begins by exploring the history of the coaching movement and then explains in detail the differences and similarities between coaching and therapy, discusses the coaching relationship, and considers some of the skills therapists will need to learn and unlearn in order to reclaim their joyfulness about their work. Professional transition tools such as developing and marketing your practice and honing your coaching skills are discussed at length in Part Three. The final section moves beyond basic life coaching to introduce coaching specialties such as corporate coaching, offers self-care strategies for life coaches, and peeks into the future of life coaching.

Does the knowledge of coaching translate to the doing of coaching in the workplace? Not necessarily. And sadly, not often. Last month I talked about research studies showing that knowledge in coaching skills and processes typically doesn’t lead to managers and other leaders to actually implementing coaching, at least at an organizational level.
