Before you missed the complimentary Pre-Summit series I wanted to draw your attention to a global conference that aspires to raise the bar for coaching professionals.

The Pre-Summit series, May 1-31, 2012, offers a complimentary opportunity to sample the sessions of the full Summit before registering. (The full Summit runs June 14-29, 2012.) For more details visit here.

A selection of the 25 luminaries presenting include:

The skills, topics and strategies attendees can expect to learn about include:

• creation of complimentary products and multiple income streams,
• client retention,
• intellectual property,
• social media,

This will be the second year that the conference takes place, with 7000 coaches from 129 countries participating via easy-to-use webinar technology. The aim is to deliver “sales-pitch-free, rich content to live audiences” allowing questions to be asked of presenters real-time and interaction with other attendees.

It’s a great opportunity to get exposure and experience different coaches and trainers styles, knowledge and expertise. Click here to register for the Pre-Summit series.
