Why Coaching Connect?
Leadership coaches, Liz Scott and Stuart Newberry, developed Coaching Connect for the coaching community in the South West. It all started when Liz and Stuart organised an informal networking day for their fellow coaches. They initially only expected a dozen to arrive and so were astonished when over forty people turned up. The next event was also a sell out. It quickly became apparent that life coaches loved meeting and sharing their skills with other coaches. The Coaching Connect website is the ?virtual? meeting place for coaches on the internet. Borne from the original networking day this website is for coaches to share and network with each other.
