SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Career Thought Leaders (CTL), a global community of career service providers, announced today it will sponsor the International Coach Federation (ICF) event October 23–26, 2019, in Prague, Czech Republic. Converge, the only official ICF global conference taking place until 2021, brings together coaches from 70 countries to strengthen professional connections and offer cutting-edge learning opportunities. Attendees will gain valuable insight from CTL's CEO Marie Zimenoff and CTL Board Member Susan Chritton who have been invited to lead a business development workshop.
On Thursday, October 24, Zimenoff and Chritton will deliver their workshop twice, giving coaches ample opportunity to learn how to differentiate themselves. "Working with coaches in CTL's Certified Personal Branding Strategist program and co-delivering similar sessions at professional conferences, Susan and I have seen first-hand how coaches struggle to tell their stories and articulate their value," said Zimenoff, CEO of Career Thought Leaders. "Coaches will walk out of this session with skills to assertively communicate their value and write engaging biographies, LinkedIn summaries, and 'About Me' website pages."
"The coaching industry is booming right now, with more individuals and companies becoming aware of the benefits of hiring a coach," said workshop co-facilitator Susan Chritton. "Coaches are seeking training through ICF and CTL to differentiate themselves in the marketplace. They also need tools to tell compelling stories that attract and connect with their ideal clients. Our presentation will give coaches the building blocks they need to achieve their business goals and do more transformational work with clients."
As the leading provider of career industry trends, Career Thought Leaders shares best practices for coaching in personal branding, career transition, job search, and other career development topics. As CTL's visionary since 2015, Zimenoff has led global expansion of the organization to train, inform, and convene coaches from 37 different countries in 2018. Zimenoff knows the specific challenges of growing a coaching business and is inspired to continue CTL's mission supporting coaches to do the same. "I am excited to continue supporting and sponsoring ICF events. We're eager to share CTL's resources to improve coaches' knowledge of career development, processes for coaching clients, and tools to build their practices."
