April 23, 2012 - PRLog -- Coaching Gurus International has bestowed the GURU Award of Excellence for Executive Coaching to Dr. Elizabeth Fried for the third year in a row.  This award recognizes Dr. Fried as among the top 15 coaches in the world in their pick of the world's most influential coaches.  

Dr. Fried, a Board Certified Coach, is president of N. E. Fried and Associates, Inc. with The Learning Engine and My Executive Coach as the  key divisions.  With corporate headquarters in Carlsbad, CA.,  the executive coaching firm maintains a team of over two dozen domestic and international executive coaches who serve C-Suite and other Sr. Executive level managers.  Dr. Fried's  personal executive coaching approach applies the latest in neuroscience research to  help clients develop their leadership skills.  

"An elite athlete has coaches to help develop and strengthen skills and capabilities as well as create focus and confidence in preparing for the championship.  As my executive coach, Elizabeth Fried did just that, " says David Kaput, Sr. Vice President, ACCO Brands, International, Headquartered in Lincolnshire, IL

"Through her expert advice and coaching, I’m far more effective--in my leadership role, in my job as a mentor empowering my staff, and as a trusted advisor deepening collegial relationships with my peers.  I genuinely appreciated the benefit of having a truth-teller who I could confide in, who supported me, and held me accountable for the transformational work I experienced.  Personally and professionally, I have become a more effective business executive and leader as well as a better father, husband, and friend."

Coaching Gurus judges contenders by focusing on coach trainers and speakers, and excludes sports coaches.  Their main  focus is on those practitioners who develop and bring out the best in others'  personal, financial and business abilities. Those top ranked Gurus are the “Cream of the Crop”--the world’s top most influential Coaching Professionals--and received more than 1000 votes each. All not only apply their own coaching principals to achieve superior results with their clients and their organizations, but develop and influence excellence throughout the globe.

Coaching Guru's research came from e-mails sent to 22,000 business people, consultants, academics and MBA’s around the world for nominations and their public opinion poll. From this information, they shortlisted 60 names then did a Google search for ranking.

The criteria for judging the TOP 30 focused on: Originality of ideas, practicality of ideas, coaching results, presentation style, international outlook, impact of ideas, quality of publications and writings, dispersion of publications and writings, public opinion,  and guru factor.

"I'm honored to be in the company of Marshall Goldsmith and Tony Robbins, "says Fried.  "It gives me great pleasure to be of service to others and help them develop their full potential.  On many levels I consider this sacred work because of its personal impact  on my clients.  In return they offer me more joy than I ever thought possible."

For insight into some of her coaching experiences, she will be releasing a new blog in May entitled,  "The Executive Coaching Corner:  Now in Session."  It will be accessible directly from her website, www.MyExecutiveCoach.net
