Becoming a Professional Life Coach – The Art and Science of a Whole–Person Approach, Third Edition

The profession of life coaching is more necessary than ever in this time of pandemic-related uncertainty, the shift (in some cases, permanent) to remote learning and working, and the constant change that accompanies world events. With his best-selling Therapist as Life Coach, Patrick Williams introduced the therapeutic community to the career of life coach, and in the first and second editions of Becoming a Professional Life Coach, he and Diane S. Menendez covered basic principles and strategies for effective coaching. Now Williams and Menendez bring a fresh take on the book that has taught thousands of coaches over fifteen years—with all-new information on the dialogue between coaches and clients, how to utilise metaphors and question-asking, the role of emotions in life coaching, the eight coaching competence categories and more.
