Patrick Williams and Diane Menendez succeeded in creating a masterful volume - Becoming a Professional Life Coach - that surpasses in its depth and scope any other coaching book that I have read to date.
Beginning with an in depth history of development of coaching and its evolution from therapy, it continues highlighting use of theories of human development i.e. Moslow, Robert Kegan, and Ken Wilbur.
The authors introduce the reader to fundamental concepts and skills of coaching to the most advanced concepts of human potential, the importance of interplay of body, human emotions and perception, values, life purpose
and, importantly, to the healing powers of love.
Every coach, regardless of specialty, will be enriched each time the book is referenced.

As a certified life coach, I love this book. It is a must for any experienced or new coach. In addition, this book can help anyone that wants to enhance their personal growth and improve their relationships. It truly is a book for anyone and everyone! It teaches you skills that will improve your personal life, at work, as a parent, and a friend. I have an extensive library of coaching books and this is my favorite by far.
I am also using it as a foundation for a professional workshop that I am writing and teaching.
I highly recommend this book for anyone.

I found this book deeply satisfying as a way to deepen my coaching skills. It's about the philosophy behind coaching, and has great dialogues with clients, from which I learned a lot. Warm, engaging, and based in the literature, this book is sensitive to what coaches can do to really benefit their clients.
