More than just fixing what ails them, many therapists today seek to help clients achieve personal and professional goals and navigate life changes successfully-a variety of practice called life coaching. This book offers a complete strategy professionals can use to incorporate life coaching into their practices. Becoming a Life Coach compares the role of the therapist to that of the life coach; the role of the patient to that of the client; the service of the mentally ill to that of the mentally healthy; treatment to collaboration; and finally the differences in professional standing between these two endeavors. Using real coaching exercises, the book teaches therapists everything they need to know to start and maintain a successful coaching practice. It includes information about necessary skills, tips on integrating coaching and therapy, business models, marketing advice, and more.

Christian Life Coaching Bible by Dennis C. Gomas, Sr. Pdf

Christian Life Coaching is a powerful experience that assists you in becoming your very best self as you find God's plan for your life with the help of the Holy Spirit. Everyone has the ability to envision a bright future, but sometimes in life, we get stuck in a bit of a rut and wonder how did I get here and how do I get out. Christian Life Coaching is not merely a technique that is applied when things go wrong. You may benefit greatly when things seem to be going well in your life, yet still want to be on top of your game. This book will familiarize the reader with the various elements in the performance of Christian Life Coaching. We will cover the different aspects of how a Christian prepares for a Life Coaching career. My book is ideal for someone who is trying to become familiar with the subject from a Biblical point of view with a Christian emphasis whether they are just curious what it is all about or those more serious planning to enter into the profession. It is not filled with theories but instead is a practical recount of the various issues dealing with Christian Life Coaching. Think of it as a sort of Commentary from an Ordained Minister's point of view on the material taught in Life Coaching training classes that you would normally have to pay for. My Coaching training was at New Life Coach, Inc. a non-profit organization, that trains and certifies Christian Life Coaches. The conversation model we were taught there came from Gary Collins "Mind Mapping Model" in his book "Christian Coaching". When you finish reading my book you should be familiar with the steps involved in Coaching a Client, how to prepare for a session, the kind of conversational model you may choose, and the Christian emphasis that is placed on keeping the session flowing with the Holy Spirit.
