Dynamic Life Coaching™: Theoretical Contributions



"The danger is dogmatic thought: it plays the devil with religion, and science is not immune from it."

Alfred North Whitehead, Mathematician and Philosopher

Dynamic Life Coaching™ combines the strengths of both psychotherapy and conventional life coaching as catalysts for growth. It delivers the benefits in a collaborative partnership that generates possibility, warmth, insight, hope, friendship, and empowerment.

The Dynamic Life Coaching Solution

Dynamic Life Coaching draws from an extremely broad range of theories relating to human nature, human development, psychotherapy and life coaching. It is thus comprehensive and flexible, reflecting the freedom of the approach in practice.

There have been hundreds of books written on these various topics, so on this page I'm just going to list the main contributors to the theory, and their specific contribution.

The list is by no means exhaustive, nor is it in any particular order. In some cases the contributor is not the originator of the theory but has done much to communicate its worth.

As I compiled this list I became aware of the hundreds of others who could justifiably add their names to it. I am grateful to all of them for their thought and for their effort in making their thought available to us all.

I hope this information has been helpful to you. If you would like to find out more about Dynamic Life Coaching or myself, please email or call to schedule a free 30-minute 'phone discussion.
