REVIEWS:
Being a truly effective ally of another person requires us to know both what to do and how to be; Becoming a Professional Life Coach gives us both. While the task of creating a comprehensive training text on the broad field of life coaching is quite daunting, Patrick Williams and Diane Menendez take it on with what appears to be real joy and they master it. The reader is both instructed and inspired cover to cover. The challenge of doing more than producing another coaching “cookbook” is met and exceeded with an excellent integration of both practical technique and well grounded theory.
Becoming a Professional Life Coach integrates what is sometimes missing in much coach training, such as Prochaska’s Stage of Readiness For Change. The book takes terms which have become well-worn catch phrases, such as fulfillment and empowerment, and infuses them with new life, helping the coach to truly understand their meaning, importance and their use. Becoming a Professional Life Coach will become the touchstone in the field of training life coaches. Michael Arloski, Ph.D., PCC, author of Wellness Coaching For Lasting Lifestyle Change.
