Chuck Franks: Business Relationship Coach

Yippee!!! My small geo-specific Kansas City, Missouri Coaching business became a popular place on Google Maps. 

I now have this really cool sticker on the front door. I almost threw it away because I’m a home based business and I thought it was tacky.

3) Preference will be given to charitable organizations and events.

I attended my local International Coach Federation chapter meeting today. Heartland Coaches and I was surprised no one even mentioned that next week is International Coaches week. This is my first year of not serving on the board so I’m not as involved as I have been in the past.
