Dream Big Coaching Services Selected as First Professional Coaching Company Honored with Ziggs' Website Quality Award

This month’s corporate ZBest award recognizes excellence in the online profile of a Seattle-based authority on helping women find career fulfillment.

Boston, MA (PRWEB) August 31, 2006 -- Ziggs, Inc., the fast-growing business people search and online image management platform, today announced that Dream Big Coaching Services has been selected as corporate winner of the Ziggs ZBest Profile Award for August, 2006. Setting a standard of excellence for the industry, Dream Big Coaching is the first professional coaching services company to be awarded a ZBest Profile Award for its website’s online professional profile style.

Introduced in January 2005 to help set the Internet’s website standard for a quality, professional, online profile, the ZBest Profile Award is awarded monthly to both one organization and the one individual that has developed and presented the most professional online profile listed in the Ziggs Index. Enjoying rapid global growth, Ziggs now provides people search and profile services for customers in over fifty countries. As a result, Dream Big Coaching was selected for this honor from a pool of worldwide companies listed in the Ziggs Index of Professionals.

Ziggs believes that Dream Big Coaching’s online consultant profile is an excellent example of a profile style that successfully enables Heather Mundell, the founder of Dream Big Coaching, to present herself in a highly valuable and professional method online. Her profile is anchored with a professional yet approachable photograph that helps the viewer build trust in her and is also valuable for use with virtual introductions. In addition to a photo, her profile provides useful information on Heather’s training as a certified professional coach from the Academy for Coach Training. She is also a participating member of the Puget Sound Coaches Association and Career Masters Institute.

The Dream Big Coaching profile also presents background information that highlights Heather’s extensive experience in her field. She has a professional background in human resources management and has also made a significant contribution to her community as a volunteer. Her volunteer work includes literacy tutoring, a mentoring for women transitioning from welfare to work as well as a life coaching at Seattle’s FamilyWorks resource center and food bank. Heather is passionate about her profession as a coach: “It’s a privilege and honor for me to partner with my clients to help them achieve their dreams.”

“Dream Big Coaching’s online profile enables the consultancy to build brand awareness and engage website visitors in a very professional yet personal manner,” said Tim DeMello, founder and chief executive officer, Ziggs. “Heather’s online profile is a valuable business tool that showcases the company’s most important asset -- Heather Mundell and her seasoned expertise as professional coach.” To see an example of Dream Big Coaching’s profile style, people search at Ziggs for “Heather Mundell.”

Winners are chosen by Ziggs at the close of a monthly review process that includes an assessment of the professionalism, content value, brand value and creativity of all online profiles in the Ziggs Index. The professionalism measure weighs the overall quality of the entire profile, including the photograph. The content value measure rewards profiles that present the most valuable information to a prospect or client reviewing the profile. The brand value measure assesses the profile’s level of success in communicating the company brand and corporate identity within the profile. The creativity measure seeks to reward profiles that are creative in their efforts to communicate all of the above three elements. In combination, these measurements set the standard for the definition of a quality online profile.

Companies and individuals who wish to submit their online profile for consideration for future Ziggs ZBest Profile Awards can e-mail their profile submission to ZBest @ Ziggs.com. Entries received by the last date of a given month will be reviewed for consideration for the upcoming month’s award. Winning entries are announced in a press release, presented online at www.Ziggs.com, and receive a ZBest Award for display at their place of business.
