LUNCH & LEARN MEETING
Get Rid of the Clutter, Make Room for Success!
Wed. Feb. 10

Presented by: Patty Kreamer, CPO

As a coach, you can increase your profits and client base, while decreasing your stress, frustration, and losses by becoming more organized. Look around your office. Are you as organized as you could be? Maybe you struggle to find things, often times you run late for your coaching session OR maybe your clients do - they might even forget they have a meeting at all!

If you or your clients are looking to lose the clutter and clear the space for better things, then this program is for you. Patty offers simple, practical solutions on how to organize your life, make room for success, and enhance productivity. If you are already organized, you'll take away tips for your clients who are seeking simplicity.

In this presentation, you will:

  • Learn strategies to clear the clutter that impacts your income
  • Gain more clients and a more profitable business
  • Discover systems that you can transfer to your clients
  • Be more organized to clearly set and reach your goals
  • Find out how FOCUS can be a part of your life
Patty will share the three step process on how to attain success at organizing time, life and your coaching business.

This program is humorous, and full of practical ideas that will equip you with action steps and tools for yourself and clients. YOU will be ready to use these tools when you leave the room.

Find Your Great Work

In addition to coaching and speaking, members of the Pittsburgh Coaches Association conduct workshops and seminars and for several years have also conducted teleclasses on a regular basis. These teleclasses are now held monthly, and are an opportunity for Pittsburgh coaches to share some of their coaching knowledge and experience with participants, as well as their passion for helping others to move forward and reach new levels.

This month the PCA is proud to present a special teleclass: The Future of Coaching: Today's Perspectives and Tomorrow's Possibilities with Ed Modell, JD, PCC and Maria Berdusco on February 3, 2010 at noon ET.

Founded in 1995, and celebrating its 15th anniversary, the International Coach Federation (ICF) is the leading global organization dedicated to advancing the coaching profession, by setting high standards, providing independent certification, and building a worldwide network of credentialed coaches. With more than 15,000 professional personal and business coaches representing over 90 countries, the ICF is the voice of the global coaching profession.

Teleclass topics range from sales and marketing to creating space, leadership, and finding your dreams, and can help people to make important changes and take steps to reach their potential.


COACH SPOTLIGHT
Freddie Cecchini

Freddie Cecchini, Bringing Back the American Dream

Coach Freddie is setting up his World Head Quarters in the Virgin Islands. Since over 95% of his business is conducted on the phone or in his on-line conference room he can continue coaching his clients from any where. He will be located on the Island of St Thomas in the capital city of Charlotte Amalie. He will have an office at Benner Bay marina where he will (more than likely) be living on his 40 foot sail boat. In between sailing and snorkeling he will find some time to coach his clients, however most of them now want to come to the Virgin Islands to be coached. (Who would have thought?)

Freddie is a Business Coach/Dream Coach, Bringing Back the American Dream. He also offers group coaching called MasterMind Coaching based on the Law of Attraction to Franchises and Business Owners. He helps them get clear on what's important to them and keeps them in action with confidence and impact. He calls it their big dream, their Olympics. You see, people with small dreams have big excuses (you can't get them off the couch) but people with big dreams don't have excuses (they find solutions to any problems) they're going to the Olympics (nothing gets in their way). Yes, Freddie is Bringing Back the American Dream.

Freddie is on the Board of Directors of the Pittsburgh Coaches Association and a Certified Meditation Instructor with Deepak Chopra's Center of Well Being. He is schooled in the art of helping people to be more focused, more calm in their business and their personal lives. Freddie is Coaching with Soul and making life easier. He has over 30 years of business experience in marketing, management and sales. Freddie has sold everything from advertising to business opportunities and sales seminars to meditation classes. He uses his business experiences as a key ingredient in his coaching business.

Freddie says life is a game... some (have small dreams) play in the street... some (have big dreams) play in the Olympics. Where are you playing... in the street or the Olympics? You see... when the players are ready the Coach will appear. Dream Big! Check out Coach Freddie's new website: CoachFreddie.com
