This document compares and contrasts therapy and coaching. It discusses four main distinctions:
1) Therapy focuses on the past and problem-solving, while coaching focuses on the future and setting goals.
2) Clients generally seek therapy to "fix" problems, while seeking coaching to create possibilities and get more out of life.
3) Therapy involves an expert-patient relationship, while coaching is a collaborative partnership.
4) Therapists have more limitations generating new clients due to stigma, while coaching faces no such stigma.
The document provides an overview of how therapists can transition to coaching by utilizing transferable skills like listening while adjusting assumptions to focus on possibilities rather than problems.

Social care, or customer service through social media, is becoming increasingly important for brands. This presentation discusses how prevalent social care is, why it matters for brands, and the risks of not investing in social care. It also provides best practices for implementing social care programs, including organizational collaboration, developing playbooks, using metrics, and leveraging data-driven insights. Examples are given of both effective and ineffective social care responses on Twitter from various companies.
Delivering the “Internal Customer” ExperienceSrikanth Dhondi
While organizations make all kinds of efforts to enhance the experience of their external customers by investing in numerous training programs and marketing initiatives, the outcome is most often disappointing to say the least.
Customer loyalty continues to elude us and “Customer advocacy” remains a distant dream. More often than not its sheer “inertia” that prevents customers from switching.
One key aspect that could perhaps unlock the door to conquering the above challenge is by having a robust set of practices that will boost the level of “Internal Customer Centricity”.
This is because empirical research conducted by leading industrial psychologists clearly establish the link between the two aspects. In other words, it emphatically states that the extent of external customer centricity can never exceed the extent of internal customer centricity.
As a part of our endeavor to constantly partner with organizations such as yours to create customized customer centric solutions to business challenges. I am pleased to share a framework that I believe will serve as a useful filter to evaluate the relevance and efficacy of the numerous employee engagement efforts you are already making.
The framework is a synthesis of the best research that has been conducted in this area.

The Potential Perils Of Personal Issues In CoachingVanHalen
This article discusses the important distinctions between coaching and therapy, and potential pitfalls when those boundaries are blurred. It outlines four groups of people at risk: 1) Coaches with therapy backgrounds who may revert to treating clients as patients, 2) Coaches without therapy training who could provide improper treatment, 3) Clients seeking coaching to avoid the stigma of therapy who may need it, and 4) Coaching clients with legitimate therapeutic needs. The article emphasizes that coaching focuses on goals and the future, while therapy addresses past issues and pathology, and coaches must not cross into treating clients.
1) Coaching evolved from psychotherapy, business consulting, and personal development and draws from theories in these fields. It focuses on the present and future rather than past issues.
2) Tools used in coaching include assessments of personality, skills, and relationships as well as theories of group dynamics and emotional intelligence to help clients understand strengths and areas for growth.
3) The document discusses the roots and evolution of coaching including influences from theorists like Maslow and Rogers and describes how it is distinct from related fields like therapy, mentoring, and consulting in focusing on empowering clients to find their own solutions.
This document provides an introduction to coaching practices for managers.

This document discusses the relationship between coaching and spirituality. It notes that while clients may initially seek coaching for job or life goals, conversations often turn to living with more purpose and meaning. This can raise spiritual and existential questions. The document defines spirituality as concerning one's inner life and sense of connection rather than religious doctrine. It is not the same as morality, psychic abilities, or new age concepts. Effective coaches engage clients respectfully on their spiritual beliefs and practices to support personal development.

NASA implemented an internal coaching program to develop leadership skills and support goals. The document provides details on:
1) NASA's policy of using internal and external coaches to train managers in coaching skills.
2) Guidelines for selecting and training internal coaches, including requiring coaching certification and dedicating 10% of time to coaching.
3) How internal coaches support NASA goals by coaching employees at all levels and serving as resources across centers.
4) Requirements for internal coaches to complete training, obtain certifications, and develop coaching skills over time.
1) When coaching clients who have experienced trauma, it is important to understand the role of a coach is not to provide therapy or ministry. A coach acknowledges emotions but does not explore or dissect them.
2) An effective coach normalizes the client's emotional reactions by contextualizing them as natural responses to the traumatic event. The coach empathizes with the client's feelings without minimizing them.
3) Both the client's emotions and the coach's own human reactions to the client's trauma cannot be ignored. Coaches must be self-aware and seek their own support to avoid being overwhelmed by strong personal feelings triggered by the client's situation. The coach's role is to remain effective even when a client experiences acute
Coaching and therapy both aim to support individuals, but they differ in important ways. While coaching and therapy sessions involve regular face-to-face or phone meetings to help a person progress, coaching focuses solely on goals and future aspirations, whereas therapy addresses underlying issues or problems. Coaching emerged from advances in psychotherapy and humanistic psychology over the past 50 years, combining consulting, personal development training, and organizational trends to provide a stigma-free alternative to therapy for those who don't need clinical treatment.
This document discusses the evolution of personal coaching from psychotherapy. It traces coaching's roots to Freud, Jung, Adler and humanistic psychologists like Rogers and Maslow who shifted counseling to be more client-centered. Coaching focuses on the present and future rather than past issues, helping clients achieve fulfillment through setting goals and living purposefully. The author predicts coaching will grow and specialize in areas like relationships and retirement. Coaching views people as whole and seeking wellness rather than having illnesses.
Therapy and coaching have different purposes despite some surface level similarities. Therapy deals with resolving psychological issues and trauma from the past, while coaching focuses on setting goals and strategies for the healthy client to achieve success in the present and future. Some key differences are that therapy addresses underlying problems, diagnoses issues, and provides a path to healing, while coaching is a collaborative process where the coach helps the client discover their own answers and turn challenges into victories. Coaching emerged from advances in psychotherapy and other fields to provide a stigma-free alternative for those seeking personal or professional growth.
The document discusses the interplay between a therapist's personal characteristics and qualities (therapist variables) and a client's theory of change. It argues that the most effective therapy occurs when the therapist is aware of how their variables may influence the therapeutic alliance and adapts their approach to align with the client's theory of change. Case studies are presented to illustrate therapists monitoring client feedback to improve outcomes. Effective therapists recognize when their approach does not match a client's needs and make adjustments to better facilitate the client's process of change.
Most therapists want to improve their skills and help more clients. However, research shows that factors like personal therapy, specific treatment approaches, training, or experience do not necessarily correlate with better outcomes. After studying thousands of therapists over 15 years, one key factor was identified - "Healing Involvement", where therapists are fully engaged with clients through empathy, skills, efficacy, and handling difficulties constructively. This state can be achieved through career development improving skills over time, self-care reducing burnout, and connection to purpose and values in their work.

This document discusses clinical supervision and provides guidance for counselors and supervisors. It covers:
1. The purpose of clinical supervision is for counselors to gain insight into the change process through self-examination and receive feedback to improve their skills.
2. Common issues in supervision include unresolved feelings that counselors transfer to the supervisor relationship (parallel process) or replicate relationship dynamics with clients.
3. Good supervisors are self-aware, provide various learning experiences, understand parallel processes, and hold counselors accountable while protecting clients. Counselors should prepare case materials and be receptive to feedback.
This document provides an overview of solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT), including its goals, interventions, and application to a hypothetical counseling case. The goals of SFBT are to solve problems, achieve client goals, and create self-sustaining changes by bringing unconscious thoughts to conscious awareness and reframing or restructuring problematic behaviors. SFBT aims to be brief, typically lasting 8-24 sessions, and focuses on the present and future rather than past issues. The document discusses how SFBT could be applied to counsel a client named Ana experiencing risk-taking behaviors by exploring family communication patterns and problem-solving skills.
This book review summarizes Barry Duncan's book "On Becoming a Better Therapist". The book provides practical guidance for therapists to improve their effectiveness by gathering client feedback in sessions. It emphasizes that client factors and the therapeutic relationship are more important than treatment protocols. The review summarizes each of the book's 7 chapters and concludes that while the book's focus on clients is valuable, it could have discussed more the collaborative nature of therapy and how to address problematic client ideas.
1) It is an internal condition in counseling wherein clients are encouraged to work hard on their problem and consider perspectives that are not easy for them. This refers to caring detachment.
2) It is most easily seen through a convergence – or match – between what you say and do as a helper. This refers to genuineness.
3) These are defined as unique set of thoughts a person uses to process information, order one’s world and make decisions. This refers to personal constructs.
The document discusses the role of a patient coordinator in a dental practice. A patient coordinator can enhance patient communication and experience.

This document provides guidance for recovery coaches. It outlines several key roles of the recovery coach, including being a fellow traveller, listener, mirror, mentor and consultant to those they work with. It emphasizes the peer relationship between coach and coachee. The coach draws on their own experience of recovery to help and support the coachee, but does not dictate a specific path. Important skills for coaches include listening, sharing experience, and helping coachees develop their own recovery goals and plans. Coaches are also encouraged to advocate for coachees and be aware of diverse pathways to recovery. The document stresses that a coach is a peer and consultant, not a counselor or other type of expert.

Patrick Williams, founder of the Institute for Life Coach Training, was featured in an article in the South African publication New Therapist about coaching. The article discussed how coaching is growing and attracting professionals looking to make progress. While coaching and therapy have some similarities, coaching focuses more on taking action and achieving goals, while therapy addresses past issues. To become an accredited coach, training from an accredited program is necessary.
Patrick Williams has created an audio tape series called "New Directions for Therapists" that features interviews with 14 therapists who have transitioned to coaching or added coaching to their practice. The interviews explore what attracted them to coaching, how they differentiate it from therapy, and how they have built a successful coaching business. Dr. Williams asks standard questions but allows each interviewee to direct the conversation. The therapists represent a variety of specialties and perspectives on coaching. The tapes provide insights for therapists considering coaching and match the experiences discussed in Peer Resource's informal conversations on the topic. The tapes are available for purchase from the Institute for Life Coach Training.
Dr Patrick Williams, founder and director of the Institute for Life Coach Training, will present a master class called "Transpersonal Psychology Redux: Purpose, Meaning and States of Consciousness in Whole Person Coaching" at the third national Coaching Psychology Conference in London. The master class will discuss research, theories, and applications of the transpersonal approach to coaching psychology. Dr. Williams, who has a doctorate in Transpersonal Psychology, believes that coaching can help people become more aware of their life purpose and make choices aligned with their goals.
1) The document discusses the difference between goals set by the ego versus those aligned with one's soul or life purpose.
2) Goals driven by ego alone, like wealth, fame, or pleasure, will not be fulfilling long-term if they are not connected to one's deeper purpose.
3) As coaches, it is important to help clients discover their underlying life purpose, rather than just setting surface-level goals, to ensure the goals will truly serve and sustain them.
Coaching draws from theories in related fields like psychology. Psychology has been influenced by four major forces - Freudian, Behavioral, Humanistic, and Transpersonal approaches. Key theorists like William James, Sigmund Freud, B.F. Skinner, Abraham Maslow, and Carl Rogers contributed to developing these approaches and shifting the view of human nature. Coaching also utilizes research on human development across the lifespan to better assist clients in achieving their goals and potential.
The document discusses the theoretical foundations of coaching and their origins in psychology. It outlines four major forces in psychological theory: Freudian, Behavioral, Humanistic, and Transpersonal. Key theorists who contributed to the development of these forces include William James, who influenced the growth of psychology as a profession, and Sigmund Freud, who founded psychoanalysis. Later, Behaviorism viewed humans as machines to be studied objectively. Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers then initiated Humanistic Psychology, focusing on personal experience rather than reductionism. Maslow also posited Transpersonal Psychology, incorporating mind, body and spirit. These theoretical foundations from psychology form the basis for the modern field of coaching.
The document discusses the importance of developing relationships with clients and becoming a "transformational trainer" rather than just focusing on technical skills. It argues that the most successful trainers are masters of building relationships through qualities like empathy, unconditional acceptance, genuineness, and strong communication and listening skills. These interpersonal skills are vital for creating trusting client relationships and facilitating long-term behavior change. The document suggests trainers should view themselves as in the "experience business" of helping clients achieve meaningful outcomes rather than just a service or goods business.
This document outlines NASA's agency-wide mentoring program framework. It establishes the goal of providing formal or informal mentoring to employees and aligns mentoring with NASA's workforce development strategy. Roles and responsibilities are defined, including program oversight at NASA headquarters and centers. Guidelines are provided for establishing center mentoring programs, collecting metrics on program participation and effectiveness, and assessing programs annually.
The document discusses how anger is often a cover for deeper fears and issues like a lack of independence and choice. It provides examples of how anger is used to avoid intimacy and vulnerability. The author reflects on her own past struggles with anger which stemmed from pent up fears and feelings of injustice. As a coach, she aims to see beneath clients' anger to the underlying issues and stay curious rather than reactive. Anger should be given space but not engaged with directly. The goal is to help clients address the true agenda, not just the anger, through compassion and by seeing their inherent beauty and highest self.
The Blue Monkey Theater Company will perform Night of the Living Dead, based on the 1968 cult classic film, from October 19-31 at the Valley Cinema & Pub in Beaverton. Directed by John Monteverde, the live performance will feature returning cast members Shuhe Hawkins as Ben, Kate Larsen as Helen Cooper and Steve Black as Harry Cooper, along with others playing both survivors and zombies trapped in an isolated farmhouse amid an outbreak of the undead. Tickets are $12 in advance or at the door for ages 13 and up.
The document appears to be notes from a therapy session. It asks about the client's homework, how they felt practicing or not practicing it, any fears or beliefs that came up, how to let go of limiting fears and beliefs and how they have been useful, positive experiences and opportunities, and what the client hopes to get out of the upcoming session.
This document outlines action points for a student in Year 11 to take to plan for their post-secondary education and career options over three terms: Autumn, Spring, and Summer. In the Autumn term, the student is instructed to research their options after Year 11 by exploring career interests, routes, and collecting information from colleges and sixth forms. In the Spring term, the focus shifts to narrowing choices and applying to courses or apprenticeships while preparing for exams and interviews. Finally, the Summer term involves finalizing plans for results day and beyond with advice from their personal advisor if needed.
The document provides information to Year 10 and 11 students about their post-secondary education and career options, including continuing their education through school sixth forms, sixth form colleges, further education colleges, or specialist colleges, or pursuing vocational training routes like apprenticeships, jobs with training programs, or self-employment. It outlines different qualification pathways like GCSEs, A-levels, BTECs, and apprenticeships and encourages students to research their options, think about their interests and skills, and make an informed choice about their next steps.
This document provides a self-assessment for a student to determine their next steps after Year 11. The student selected mostly B responses, indicating an interest in pursuing training, work-based learning, or an apprenticeship that allows them to work and earn while gaining qualifications. Sections of the document on qualifications, work and learning, and applications and interviews would provide the most relevant information.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
