Past Speaker: Professional Coaching Boot Camp

SPEAKER:  Gordon Miller – “America’s Career Coach”
DATE:  July 12, 2008
TOPIC:  Professional Coaching Boot Camp – Learn the secrets that successful people use

DESCRIPTION:  Talented people like you have many options, most of which you have never considered. The reason you are not able to grasp these opportunities for yourself is because you are too close to your own field of battle. That is where coaching comes in. And whether you call yourself an adviser, consultant, coach, or expert, people need the help of someone with a fresh pair of eyes to give them a better perspective.

Problems today are more complicated than at any time in history. There are more variables, more options, and fewer certainties to hang your hat on. The days of following a proven path are gone, and we find ourselves feeling and acting like trailblazers.

For this reason, the people we surround ourselves with, both formally and informally, are critical to our ability to succeed.

The Professional Coaching Boot Camp will help you understand the coaching profession, both from the standpoint of being a coach as well as hiring one.

In our intensely competitive world, it becomes critical to find and work with experts, and learning about the profession is the quickest way to mapping your options.

Join us as we spend a day with three seasoned experts and learn the secrets behind the coaching profession.
