What our UK members say:

'Professional standards are vital to the standing and credibility of Coaching as an emerging profession. The ICF is the only independent professional body with a track record of accrediting coaches to these rigorous standards and at a variety of levels. So I am proud to be designated a Master Coach by the ICF and consider it my responsibility to myself and my clients ( national and international, corporate and personal) to ensure that I continue to operate at that level......luckily the ICF makes sure I do that!'

SECRETS FROM PSYCHOLOGY:
tricks, tips and techniques that coaching can steal from psychotherapy

This is a Mastery in Coaching teleseminar
with Dr Patrick Williams, MCC
on Wednesday 14th November at 8pm UK time


Dr. Patrick Williams, psychologist turned coach, will discuss theories and techniques from various schools of psychotherapy that can be used in coaching, including the empty chair technique from Gestalt Therapy, hypnotic communication from Milton Erickson, future pacing and timeline from NLP, use of dreams and guided imagery, and techniques from psycho synthesis by Roberto Assagioli.

Psychology and its various master theorists developed many useful techniques over the last 100 years and many of them are useful in coaching, Psychology does not own the secrets of behavioural change. Dr. Williams will take us on a brief tour of major theorists of psychotherapy and discuss what techniques can be easily applied to enhance your coaching toolbox

Within this session, Patrick plans to cover the following Core Competencies: Establishing trust and intimacy with the client; Coaching presence; Powerful questioning; Direct communication

He is a member of PHI BETA KAPPA and CUM LAUDE graduate of Kansas University in 1972. He went on to get his masters in Humanistic Psychology and doctorate in Transpersonal Psychology in 1977.

He joined Coach U in 1996, closed his therapy practice 6 months later and became a full time coach. Pat was a senior trainer with Coach U from 1997- 1998, when he started is own coach training school for therapists only, the Institute for Life Coach Training.
