Syllabus
1. Practical Holistic Spirituality
Key text: Bloom, William. SOULution. Hay House, 2005.
This unit shows how society can improve dramatically by adapting holistic principles and how tolerant spirituality is the key to health, success and personal fulfillment as well as a vibrant community. The book provides "365 Prompts for a Holistic Lifestyle" that can be used as a superb holistic coaching tool, and reading lists are given to enable further study of various topics that together contribute to the holistic approach.
2. The Coaching Transformation
Key text: Skibbins, David. Becoming a Life Coach: A Complete Workbook for Therapists. Oakland, CA: New Harbinger Publications Ltd., 2007.
Working through this unit s textbook will provide practical skills and knowhow for the therapist or other helping professional who wishes to become a life coach. A crucial part of this unit will be learning the distinctions between working as a therapist and working as a coach, and interacting with clients on the basis of their ability rather than their need for help.
3. The Attraction Model of Coaching
Key text: Leonard, Thomas J., The 28 Laws of Attraction: Stop Chasing Success and Let It Chase You. New York: Scribner, 2008.
Thomas Leonard (1955-2003), the founder of life coaching as a distinct profession, developed the model of attraction coaching. His book was originally called "The Portable Coach". Learn how to discover your vision and purpose, organise yourself, deal with procrastination, make life fulfilling, be constructive and be yourself. The highly condensed strategies presented in the key text may be adapted as a toolkit to help a wide range of coaching clients, or may be cherry-picked as required.
4. The Invisible Coach
Key text: Whitworth, Laura, et al., Co-Active Coaching. Palo Alto, California: Davies-Black Publishing, 2nd edition, 2007. (includes CD of coaching materials and audios of sample coaching sessions)
This unit offers a superb collection of practical deep coaching skills within a holistic framework, and as well as providing a stand-alone coaching model, it is ideal for students bridging the gap between their other helping practice and the skills of coaching. After discussion of the coaching relationship and context, the student proceeds to learn the coaching skills of listening, intuition, curiosity, the action-learning feedback loop, and self-management. A comprehensive set of technique tools is provided which can inspire you to create your own coaching tools in conjunction with your existing expertise. Practical exercises are given which may be carried out on friends, colleagues or clients.
5. The NLP Coach
Key text: McDermott, Ian and Jago, Wendy. The NLP Coach: A Comprehensive Guide to Personal Well-Being and Professional Success. London: Piatkus, 2002.
In this unit, the two modern helping approaches of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Life and Personal Coaching are brought together. The student will learn the basic principles, strategies and tools of up-to-date NLP and how they fit into the framework of personal coaching. This integrated framework of NLP and coaching is then applied towards self-coaching success in different areas of life, from a balanced perspective valuing personal harmony, self-esteem, relationships, enhanced brainpower, health, wealth, happiness, rewarding work and spirituality.
6. The Spirit of Coaching
Key text: Belf, Teri-E. Coaching with Spirit. Jossey-Bass/Pfeiffer, 2002.
This unit is about the relationship between life coaching and spirituality. Spirituality does not necessarily mean religion, and people use the term in different ways. However, essential to all views of spirituality is the sense of connection to a greater reality than oneself. Coaching with spirit rests on three grounded principles : connection with self, connection with the client and connection with the Whole. These principles inform the art of coaching in various ways, producing a holistic view of coaching whether one is doing personal coaching, business coaching, marketing one s coaching services, or training.
