The Chronicle of Coaching – News of the Week – July 31, 2008
By admin
July 31st, 2008 • Related • Filed Under
The Chronicle of Coaching provides a snapshot of what’s happening in the coaching profession, designed to show where and how coaching appears in the popular culture worldwide. It is not intended to be a summary service nor a news roundup, although it may serve that purpose for some readers. The Chronicle is new each Thursday morning. Compiled and edited by Alex Goldsmith and Linda Ballew. The Chronicle of Coaching strives for 100% accuracy and regrets any deviation from that standard. Our policy is to correct errors promptly and prominently, in the next edition and in the online archive. Please tell us immediately if you see something wrong.
The Chronicle of Coaching will be taking a short vacation next week. Look for a brand new and well rested Chronicle on August 14!
