Odete Rodrigues is the Newest ActionCOACH in Portugal

PRLog (Press Release) - Aug 22, 2008 -
Master Licensee Paulo de Vilhena has named Odete Rodrigues as an ActionCOACH in Portugal.

She will be operating from his home-office, which is near Leiria and he will be concentrating her efforts on businesses in that city.

Prior to becoming an ActionCOACH, Rodrigues worked in the Quality and Environment Departments of many well-known Portuguese companies including OGMA SA (a Portuguese aeronautical firm) and Portucel Embalagem, SA, a corrugated cardboard company.

Working in the Quality and Environment Department gave Rodrigues the unique opportunity to deal with all the other departments within the organizations she worked for.

She acted like a “coach” to all the departments’ managers in helping them reach their goals and systematizing their business procedures.

“I have always been focused on changing the organization’s culture through intensive on-the-job training and on putting self-correcting systems in place. I have always maintained interdepartmental accountability so people recognize the value of a systematic approach,” she said.

Rodrigues was impressed by ActionCOACH.

“Everyone I met from the company displayed a positive attitude and every process seemed well-organized within ActionCOACH,” she said.

Tired of working for big corporations, Rodrigues realized that her competences and abilities far outweighed the demands of her corporate job.

She is excited about the process of learning and teaching the ActionCOACH systems, in order to help other business owners reach their goals.

“I always look for a win-win relationship in everything I do and I truly believe that with ActionCOACH’s systems, I will be able to create several of these relationships,” she said.  

She is a member of the Orienteering (COC – Culbe de Orientação do Centro) and the Quality Association (APQ – Associação Portuguesa da Qualidade).
