After returning earlier this month from the Core Essentials Fast track program in Melbourne, Australia, and delivering a speech to coaches in Singapore, it really did bring home how global the coaching profession has become. The Melbourne program was filled with participants from 8 different countries. So no matter where your friends and colleagues reside, if they are interested in a live training program, there will always be a location convenient to them. Our live/in person programs are now offered in North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.

In the last Community News ezine, I mentioned the importance of working on and working in the business, as indicated by Michael E. Gerber in the E-Myth Revisited. Nancy Morris was kind enough to offer a link that all of you can listen to -- it's an interview with Ms. Morris and Mr. Gerber discussing the E-Myth principles.
