 To focused on coach vs. therapist August 29, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am a marriage and family therapist who is adding life coaching to my work so this book would seem like a natural transition. What I found is that it spends much to much time on differentiating coaching from therapy. I was hoping for more focus on becoming a good coach.
One good thing that came out of learning more about Pat Williams and his coaching school is I found out they use the book "Co-Active Coaching" in their classes and I read that as well. That is a brilliant book and I will be training at the Coach Training Institute that put that book out.

I had been working as a psychotherapist for years and really loved my work. Yet, I wanted to be able to work with patients beyond just helping them move from dysfunctional to functional. I picked up "Therapist as Life Coach" and couldn't put it down! As I thumb through it to write this review I realize I highlighted nearly the entire book! This book opened up a whole new world to me. From discussing the roots of coaching with terms familiar to therapists and counselors to exploring the similarities and differences between therapy and coaching, this book helped clearly define coaching for me. The author covers life coaching and the myriad of applications of the skills so you can customize your practice. He also provides great ideas for building and marketing your business. "Therapist as Life Coach" gave me a tremendous start in my transition from therapist to coach. I think it's great for anyone wanting to add coaching skills to their current practice to enhance their skills or who want to move into coaching as their primary career.
Excellent resource! March 10, 2008

I found this book to be very insightful but more importantly, very usable. At first, I was skeptical because I was not a therapist going into coaching. I wasn't sure that it would be relevant to me. I was happy to be proven wrong. There are very practical things you can use immediately. As a corporate coach, this is a book that I refer to often.
