2. EVOCATIVE COACH TRAINING. Based upon our upcoming book, Evocative Coaching: Transforming Schools One Conversation At A Time, we are pleased to announce the September 2010 launch of our inaugural coach training program. The focus of the book is how teachers, coaches, and school leaders can have enjoyable conversations that evoke motivation and performance-enhancing movement. What school couldn't use that! This seems like a book whose time has come, especially given the way it brings together my background in coaching with my wife's background in educational leadership. It's a perfect marriage, in more ways than one.

Anyone concerned about or tasked with the responsibility for improving the performance of teachers in schools, or for coaching in any work setting, will benefit from this accessible, 12-session program which takes place in a virtual classroom using telephone and Internet technologies. We aim to offer graduates both CEUs and certification opportunities through the International Association of Coaching. To learn more about our book, review the Table of Contents. For more information on our coach training program, go to www.EvocativeCoaching.com. To register now, with a $200 discount through June 30, 2009, use our Secure Server

3. LIFETREK GOES KINDLE. Have you been wanting an easy and convenient way to read Provisions and other great material from LifeTrek Coaching while using your Amazon Kindle? Then look no further. Your dreams have been answered! You can now subscribe to the LifeTrek Coaching Blog on your Amazon Kindle. Ten years ago LifeTrek Provisions went mobile through a service that was then called AvantGo -- this in the age before mobile devices were web-enabled. They had to be synchronized with a cable, through your computer. Changes in technology put AvantGo out of business last year, but Amazon Kindle is just taking off. Now Kindle users can subscribe to Provisions and receive other coaching tidbits for a small, monthly fee. I'm even subscribing myself, so it must be good. ☺ I encourage you to give it a look.
