May 10, 2012 - PRLog -- Toronto, ON, Canada/ Charlotte, NC, USA –  An article by Joan O. Wright, founder of O’Sullivan Wright, Inc. an organizational and leadership strategy firm based in Charlotte, NC, appears in the Spring issue (Volume 10, Issue 1) of CHOICE, the  magazine of professional coaching. Joan O. Wright is among five featured experts presenting articles relevant to the magazine’s Spring theme focused on “Coaching Client Relationships.“

According to Managing Editor, Janet Lees, Wright’s article entitled “Climb to the Summit: Significance lives in relationships” was selected based on its unique perspective in helping professional coaches improve personal relationships, client relationships, and client relationships with others. According to Lees, Joan O. Wright’s article will help readers recognize personal and professional relationship patterns that may hold them back, or become the launching pad for success and even significance.

CHOICE Magazine is considered the premier magazine for the International Coaches Federation (ICF) and the International Association of Coaching (IAC), reaching more than 25,000 readers in 28 countries.

The fact that CHOICE is distributed to readership in 28 countries is especially exciting for Wright. “The Summit Advance Model expanded into its fourth continent in March through my firm’s association with the Asia Pacific Alliance of Coaches,” stated Wright. “My article brings to light a universal aspect of leadership and building meaningful personal and professional relationships that crosses cultures and boundaries. Most important, it shares a fundamental, yet essential element missing in too many relationships today: a focus on others before oneself.”
