Will is a licensed clinical social worker and Episcopal priest with over 35 years of experience as a therapist, priest and coach. Will is a graduate of Furman University, and holds a Master of Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University and a Master of Divinity from the Episcopal Divinity School. He is receiving his coaching certificate through MentorCoach and is past president of the South Carolina Chapter of the International Coach Federation.

His coaching practice is based upon the belief that we are more productive and efficient when we are living and working from our core self, one which is resilient and full of wonder!
 

"Funny, wacky--and boy, does he make sense! Will has a way of having you look at your organization, group, yourself, perhaps in a different, more productive way. And have fun in the process. I highly recommend Will for any group."

--Mack Amick, Vice President – South Carolina Employee Assistance Professionals Association 
 

"It is with tremendous pleasure that I strongly recommend Will. I conducted an extremely important seminar for a discerning audience and brought Will in to lead 3 "play shops" throughout the weekend to keep the energy high and attendees focused and motivated. Will did that x10! Not only were attendees entertained and inspired, they had deep and transforming learnings. In fact, thanks to a phenomenal visualization exercise Will conducted, I now infuse more fun and enjoyment into my everyday life. It has had a profound impact on me . . . I am more fulfilled, balanced, and at peace with myself, even during the most stressful hectic times. YES, one simple exercise from Will can transform your life  . . . it has mine! And Will has a whole arsenal of such teachings. Please, do yourself, and your people a tremendous service . . . partner with Will for seminars, workshops, coaching or better yet, all of the above. You will be glad you did!"

--Michael Charest, President/Founder, Business Growth Solutions, Redondo Beach CA

"Will Thompson is an engaging presenter who gave a very creative presentation to clinicians and encouraged an important assessment of self-care and creativity while making the hours fly by with fun."

--Ginger Culbertson, MSW, LISW-CP Private Practice, Greenville, SC

"Will is a real 'pro.' His trust, caring (for and about us) could not have been any better. The expertise, respect, insight as well as the empathy, honesty and trust provided a safe and comfortable environment for fun and soul searching. He provided an excellent balance of humor, joy, spontaneity and support. I feel incredibly fortunate in being a part of this playshop – my only disappointment is that it ended too soon!"

--Gail Davis, “Spiritual PlayCamp” – Ferry Beach ME

We come into the world as vibrant and exuberant children. We become experts at seeing with eyes of wonder, joy and curiosity. As we grow older, many of us forget to live from our naturally playful core.

The Power of Play: The ABC's of Living with Wonder and Exuberance helps us to reclaim the energy and magic that is intrinsic in this "playground of life." It is divided into 26 chapters, describing the characteristics of play from A-Z.

Within each chapter is a cool illustration, a description of the letter (A is for Adventure, B is for Balance . . .), and a "Your Turn" section that gives suggestions on how to be more playful.

It's fun. It's contagious! It's the way life is meant to be!

What are you waiting for? Won’t you come out and PLAY?
