In-Between choice thoughts


In recent weeks I have been interviewing leaders in the coaching industry and coaches themselves to ask them what is important to them, the things they need, what they are proud of and what it is we need to be talking about.

And the feedback is AWESOME! Can you tell I am excited?

Here are some of the things I am hearing.

Consistently I am hearing that what we are most proud of is the difference we are making in the world.

It is not just the ROI but the increase in consciousness that we are supporting that is getting noticed.

What people want more of, other than clients, is a higher level of professional standards.

These are just some to the topics that we will be researching and including in future articles, Expert Series emails, and Multi Media podcasts. www.morefromchoice.com

So, due to the response from you, dear reader, and because there is so much going on in the community, we have decided to send more In-Betweens "in between" issues. We have a hard time keeping it to just one printed issue per quarter!

Until next time,
Garry T. Schleifer, Publisher
choice Magazine
