Sweden is the centre of the coaching world

PRESS RELEASE GLOBAL COACH CONFERENCE 2010

Suddenly and for no other reason than one person took the initiative, the small town of Utby in Sweden will be the centre of attention for the coaching world for a week in October.

UK born, CoActive Coach Martin Richards is organising the second series of telephone sessions of the Global Coach Conference , the largest virtual coach conference of 2010 with speakers from China, Australia, India, Trinidad, South Africa, Europe, the UK, and of course the USA.

"It started with a desire to speak with like-minded people, about their perspectives on how coaching serves the world," said Martin. Last year on 090909 the phone conference attracted over a hundred participants, and lasted a continuous 25 hours, with Martin as the host for every session. "It was a one-man telephone marathon," said Martin, "and gave me a broad perspective and a deep appreciation of the benefits that coaching brings." The connections between people made before and during the conference have resulted in long-lasting collaborations, a sign of coaches common need to connect and collaborate.

This year over 20 speakers are freely giving over 30 sessions under the heading "7 Days to Change the World", covering many aspects of professional and private life. During and after the conference people will continue to connect and collaborate to bring their skills to the service of others.

The whole conference will be run from a small office at the temporary center of the global coaching world, Utby, Sweden.
