Free Month of Business Coaching for International Coaching Week Feb. 7-13th 2010

Published by Chuck Franks on February 6th, 2010

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. Heartland Coaches has an extensive history of involving itself in the community and has even been recognized with award by the International Coach Federation which I was very proud to accept on behalf in 2008. S ‘Local Spirit, Global Presence- Community Activism award by the International Coaching Federation
