WANT A LIFE? GET A COACH
Coaches From Around the World To Celebrate
International Personal and Business Coaching Week
February 5 - 11, 2001
STATEN ISLAND, NY JAN. 25, 2001 - Why should the Tiger Woods and Anna Kournikovas of the world be the only ones to get a little coaching? Just because there's no field or net doesn't mean the rest of us can't benefit from a little whistle-blowing help from the sidelines.
More business owners, executives and ordinary individuals are hiring coaches to help them lead and make better decisions. Want to leave your corporate job and start a dot-com? Get the feeling you spend your whole life toiling for things you don't really need or even want? Wish you could accomplish more with ease and less stress? Looking for more satisfaction and fulfillment? Those are a few of the issues people bring to personal and business coaches, whose ranks have swelled since the early 1990s.
The trend is catching on. The International Coach Federation, the Washington, D.C. based association of personal and business coaches, estimates there are more than 10,000 coaches nationwide and the number is skyrocketing as business and personal coaching has become one of the hottest trends in management. The federation has more than doubled its membership to 3,500 in the past year.
Want to find out more about coaching? The third annual International Personal Business and Coaching Week will be held on February 5 to 11, 2001.
According to Joanne Ecock, Personal and Business Coach and founder of Heart and Soul Life Coaching, the purpose of the week "is to educate the public about the value of working with a coach and to provide an opportunity for coaches and their clients to acknowledge the results and progress made through the coaching process." Area coaches will be offering workshops, lectures and free coaching sessions to celebrate the week.
Joanne will be offering a complimentary packet of coaching materials in addition to a sample coaching session.
