What happens in Vegas no longer stays in Vegas – now it’s happening in Calgary!

CALGARY, Alberta - July 8, 2014 - PRLog -- July 8, 2014 CALGARY – Glen Klassen and Ursula Sherwood are two of the first graduates of a program that for the past 21 years was only awarded from Las Vegas, Nevada. But in May 2014, Brad Sugars, internationally renowned business expert and founder of ActionCOACH business training, announced that a Calgary training facility would be the first in to Canada to be recognized as a certified training provider.

Business Edge Coaching is a Calgary-based franchise of ActionCOACH that specializes in coaching small- to medium-sized businesses as well as executive teams and group coaching.

“Becoming an ActionCOACH Business Coach combines my desire to help the local economy with my desire to own my own business,” states Klassen. “As a coach I mentor business owners to make stronger decisions and build profitable businesses and I’m proud to do it with the respected ActionCOACH designation.”
