And because we listened to what coaches said they want and need to be truly satisfied and successful in the coaching profession!
We designed The Coaches' Edge™ Extravaganza to meet those needs. Without all the hype and selling that goes on in many events coaches attend.
This event is about YOU: gaining valuable information and making invaluable connections. This one event can provide you with resources that will help you take your coaching business to levels you might never have imagined - and keep it there.
Besides the enjoyment of attending a truly extraordinary event, last year's attendees received almost $2,000 worth of gifts, and over $20,000 in awards were drawn for at the event. We anticipate an even greater opportunity for fabulous gifts at the 2010 event...these gifts can use forever to grow your business and make a difference in your own life and the lives of your clients!

Panel 1 – Brain Science: Proof of the Power of Coaching and How to Use It to Build Your Business
The latest research on the brain has inadvertently created objective proof of the value of coaching – proof you can use to build credibility, win over skeptics, gain clients and create profound and lasting transformation for your clients.
Panel 2 – How You Can Get Rich With a Right-for-You Niche
You’ve heard “The way to grow a successful coaching business is to niche.” It’s true. You do need a niche, but it has to be the right one for you and it has to speak to the client base you want. Find out how to find your ideal niche and put it to work to enrich your life in every way, including financially.
Panel 3 –The Number One Tool for Transformation – What Makes an Amazing Coach?
There are many answers, but they all boil down to one thing; great coaches have a way with words. They know how to communicate in just the right way to affect the result the client is after. Every question, every instruction, every exercise either falls flat or becomes transformational depending on how each is communicated.
Panel 4 – How to Magnetize Your Message and Attract All the Clients You Want.
