Laurie's history with RCI begins at the beginning. She was a participant in the very first RESTS teleclass training given by David Steele, and shortly afterwards accepted his invitation to become Director of Singles Programs to be the primary trainer and mentor for coaching singles. Laurie has personally conducted approx. 40 trainings and trained over 400 RCI coaches in the 4 years of her tenure, and has introduced singles coaching to thousands of helping professionals in our introductory trainings and at ICF conferences. She has definitely left her mark on singles coaching at RCI and we are eternally grateful for her passion, dedication, and contributions. Laurie's passion for relationship coaching for singles has evolved into Divorce Recovery Coaching, and is creating a Divorce Adjustment Coaching project.

Feature ArticleHow Can I Coach Singles/couples If I’m Single/Married?
A common fear of helping professionals getting started in relationship coaching is that they won’t be effective because of their relationship status and/or experiences. If you couldn’t coach singles because you’re still single, and if you couldn’t coach singles because you’re married, who’s left to coach singles? If you couldn’t coach couples because you’re single, or if you couldn’t coach couples because you’re still working on your own relationship, who’s left to coach couples? While I strongly believe we need to walk our talk, WHO YOU ARE as a person and a professional is more important than what you have/don’t have or what you’ve done. A good coach is walking the path same path as the client… hopefully a little ahead, but even that isn’t required. The ability to help someone depends more upon your helping skills, your ability to relate and empathize, share knowledge and experiences, and is not dependent upon you being the “expert” and having “arrived.” RCI coach Mike McCartney has this to say:
While the analogy of relationship coaching to sports coaching might not quite work, it is interesting to consider: Is it important who the coach is if they are effective in getting results for their clients? I’m not sure you can separate who the coach is from their effectiveness, but would agree that effectiveness is the ultimate test. One of the most talented relationship coaches for couples that I know is Linda Marshall, RCI’s Director of Couples Programs, who is single and has this to say:
I strongly agree with Linda about the role of passion and following a calling. I have specialized in working with couples through two marriages and two divorces, and my commitment and passion for relationships is what made a difference for the couples I worked with, led me to start Relationship Coaching Institute and brought my life partner Maggie into my life, for which I am blessed and grateful. When new coaches ask me “How can I coach singles/couples if I’m single/married,” my response is “Your singles or couples need you to be on the path with them, they don’t need you to be perfect. Who you are as a person, your passion, commitment, and skills will make you an effective coach, and is more important than your relationship status.” © 2004 by David Steele / All right reserved / Invitations:
