Personal and professional coaching, which has emerged as a powerful career in the last several years, has shifted the paradigm of how people who seek help with life transitions find a "helper" to partner with them in designing their desired future. No matter what kind of sub-specialty a coach might have, life coaching is the basic operating system: a whole-person, client-centered approach. Here, Pat Williams, who has been a leader in the life coaching movement, has co-authored another essential book for therapists working as coaches. Becoming a Professional Life Coach draws on the wisdom of years of collective experience that have gone into designing the curriculum for the Institute for Life Coach Training. This curriculum has trained therapists and psychologists around the world to add coaching to their current businesses. This book presents the essential elements of life coach training program in a content-rich form that is equivalent to a graduate-level education in the field.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The ICF defines coaching as partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. Coaches believe that every client is creative, resourceful, and whole. #2 Human developmental theories are used to understand clients, and they explain that people are constantly changing and growing. Coaching is a powerful human relationship in which coaches assist people in designing their future rather than getting over their past. #3 Listening is the cornerstone of coaching, just as it is the cornerstone of every human relationship. Coaches listen for the client’s feelings, but they also pay attention to other domains of the client’s life. #4 Active listening is when you listen to what the client says and does not say. You should also be able to mirror what you heard, which allows the client to feel fully heard. By paying attention to the congruence of words and nonverbal behavior, you can begin to sense dimensions of the experience that the client may not have brought into consciousness.

As women, we’re often told to live for God and follow Him, but how can we be expected to do this if we don’t have the proper tools and teaching? If young women don’t know how to properly live for God, they’ll start to follow the world’s definition of beauty. True beauty is all about inner beauty, and it’s something God has planted in each one of us. God is our beauty mark, and He needs to be rooted into every aspect of our being. Embracing our inner beauty happens deep in our soul and allows us to be radiant from the inside out. It affects all areas of one’s life, and it proves you are more precious than gold. Sarah Evangeline has embraced her inner beauty through Christ and cannot stop until she shares this truth with other young women. Throughout her book, Sarah teaches and helps guide young women to the knowledge that they are adorned by the King, the Creator of the universe. It is time for you to cherish and embrace your inner beauty. Will you join Sarah on this journey? Will you make God your beauty mark?
There are many ways to describe the gap, which a lean company has to jump to become innovative. Some people see the gap between research and design for production, where people with different mindsets find it hard to communicate and work for the same goal. Other people feel that the gap is the schism between effectiveness and efficiency, i.e. trying to do the right thing is not compatible with trying always to doing things right. Other people believe the gap to be caused by the different paradigms of exploitation and exploration. The financial constraints of globally compet ing companies striving to become more and more lean are leaving fewer and fewer resources for the necessary experimenta...
Pedro Menéndez de Avilés (1519–1574) founded St. Augustine in 1565. His expedition was documented by his brother-in-law, Gonzalo Solís de Merás, who left a detailed and passionate account of the events leading to the establishment of America’s oldest city. Until recently, the only extant version of Solís de Merás’s record was one single manuscript that Eugenio Ruidíaz y Caravia transcribed in 1893, and subsequent editions and translations have always followed Ruidíaz’s text. In 2012, David Arbesú discovered a more complete record: a manuscript including folios lost for centuries and, more important, excluding portions of the 1893 publication based on retellings rather than the original document. In the resulting volume, Pedro Menéndez de Avilés and the Conquest of Florida, Arbesú sheds light on principal events missing from the story of St. Augustine’s founding. By consulting the original chronicle, Arbesú provides readers with the definitive bilingual edition of this seminal text.
