New Strategy Resource Available For Professional Coaches

PRLog (Press Release) – Jun 20, 2008 – Wilmington, DE -- The coaching profession has proved to be a very challenging business, with many coaches struggling despite considerable effort. Success in the coaching business requires more than just being a skillful coach. Strategy is of vital importance for any business and it is even more critical for a profession as young as coaching. Strategy For Coaches addresses this need with the launch of a new website, www.strategyforcoaches.com.

Statistics show that most coaching firms are solo practitioners where the coach - the provider of services - must also act in the capacity of CEO, CFO, manager and marketer among other roles. This can be a daunting situation resulting in burnout and decreased productivity. Peer-support relies on the belief that people who are facing similar challenging circumstances can help and learn from one another. Strategyforcoaches.com includes a community forum where coaches can share strategies for building a successful practice.

A recent study published in Harvard Business Review showed that businesses with a carefully crafted strategy outperformed those that don’t have one by a factor of 15. Strategy clearly matters but this is not a topic covered in most coach training schools. Coaches would benefit from a pertinent strategy resource. Strategyforcoaches.com elicits the expertise of professional strategists in creating their quarterly newsletter and webcast on topics related to strategy and of interest to professional coaches.

Strategyforcoaches.com is open to professional coaches or coaches in training regardless of coaching specialty. Interested coaches can request access by clicking the Join Us button on the main page of the website.
