| Abstract
|
:
|
Master-certified life coaches with the Institute for Life Coach Training, founded by Williams, introduce life coaching as an "operating system" for helping people navigate life transitions. After reviewing the history of this new profession, they discuss the skills entailed; distinctions between coaching, consulting, mentoring, and therapy; defining/refining life purpose; and dealing with obstacles by developing "flexible optimism." Chapters drawing on eclectic sources (e.g., poets, psychologists, The Purpose-Driven Life) include frequently asked questions, exercises for both coaches and clients, and resources.
