Dear Coach,

Come and be inspired and educated at the Euro Coach List Conference 2009. Explore, learn and plan in response to all that's going on around us.

I wonder what kind of coach you are?

• Passionate about coaching, you love being around other coaches, get a buzz out of learning and dream of a full coaching practice. You want to strengthen your coaching and business skills.
• Coaching is your business. A highly skilled professional, you are looking for new connections, new tools, techniques and insights. You love to move forward. You look after yourself and invest in yourself.

Whether you're an in-house coach, niche coach, freelance coach, trainee coach, new coach or experienced coach, chances are you want to take your life, your coaching and your business to the next levels of success, fulfilment and profitability -- especially in these times of profound and rapid change.

Conference benefits at a glance.Hi, I'm Coen de Groot, proud owner of the Euro Coach List, a wonderful community of peers who have been helping, supporting and encouraging each other in the coaching industry since 1997. Last year the Euro Coach List gave birth to the enormously successful Euro Coach List Conference. Due to strong demand we decided to have another this year.

And you are invited ...

Find out more about the Euro Coach List Conference 2009 and help yourself to your free teleclasses and Conference Tips As John Whittington, Conference Speaker, suggests:
"Never has there been a better opportunity to demonstrate the benefit of effective coaching. This is the time when coaching can and must make a real difference in individual and team lives. As the economy and market conditions are so poor clients are facing in -- into their own businesses and into themselves searching for the answers, for resources, for clarity and release from old and stuck issues. What more fertile ground could you ask for as a coach?"

This year's conference is very much about helping you to thrive in these times of change to INSPIRE & ENERGISE YOU!

On Saturday evening, as an optional extra there's a lively dinner at Bristol Cathedral's Chapter House, built in the times of the Normans. Scrumptious home-cooked South American food served by a Chilean family. Many, many heartfelt conversations and connections will inevitably be made at the World Café, facilitated by Judy Barber.

And much, much more!

"How's this Conference unique Coen?"

The Euro Coach List Conference is a place where the speakers and the attendees are REALLY there to help! This is a strong community event, with everyone involved giving their time freely.

All coaches from the UK and beyond are invited.

If you've been to boring conferences before, you'll not be prepared for the intense learning, and the friendly, dynamic and helpful days you will experience!

Here's what this year's speakers have said:

For more by Talane Miedaner download your free teleclass recording"I have volunteered to speak at the Euro Coach List Conference because I have some very exciting new coaching tools, and concepts that will help my fellow coaching colleagues with their business growth and development and I'm eager to spread the word! " Talane Miedaner

"Marketing is undergoing a revolution and this is an easy way for coaches to learn how to make the most of influence marketing. It's ideal for even the most anti-marketing amongst us. I am very keen to help." Karen Purves

"It's great to have the opportunity to give back to this community, who have given me so much support and encouragement in the past. Helping them to feminise their businesses is something I am very passionate about, as I know many are not seeing this incredibly opportunity!" Carrie Eddins

But don't let me tell you how great the Euro Coach List Conference is. Let's hear what last year's attendees said:

"Wow, what a fantastic conference, I'm still buzzing. I would like to say it was fantastic meeting everyone, it made me feel like I was a member of a very supportive family." Shelley Marsden

"What a brilliant conference. Everybody was incredibly open and welcoming. Best of all: the company of all the other coaches. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and feel re-invigorated!" Uta Langley

"The conference was excellently and professionally organised, the speakers were interesting and informative and entertaining and the venue, both the Watershed and Bristol, were ideal." Susan E Kersley

"Surrounded by so many delightful and supportive like-minded people. My batteries were re-charged to go out and motivate my clients." William Barron

"This was the most enjoyable and productive coaching conference I have ever attended over the last 14 years on both sides of the Atlantic" George Metcalfe

I'd love to welcome you personally to this years conference, I really would....

You never know...

You may meet your very next business partner among the coaches who have already committed to the Conference. What have you got to loose?


A small investment of £155 is surely worth its weight in gold? That's what many of you charge for one or two hours of your time; surely you're worth that!

I'll even go the extra mile and if you book by Monday 14th September 10am (UK time) I'll throw in a year's membership for the Euro Coach List worth £20 absolutely free to help you shine in 2009!

But don't think you can go home after the main conference closes Sunday lunch time. Public speaking, one of our greatest fears, is also a powerful tool in building your coaching practice. Our Sunday afternoon, highly interactive Public Speaking workshop will cover speech organisation, structure, signposting, speech writing construction and editing, vocal variety, body language, eye contact, impact, persuasion and inspiration. It will be led by Nigel and Gilly Cutts, both past presidents of their Toastmasters clubs, who have served at Area and Division level in the organisation and are highly regarded for their mentoring skills as well as their speaking ability. Tap into their expertise for a full afternoon and gain some highly practical experience at this valuable and exciting workshop. Open to conference and non-conference attendees alike.

Not interested, not sure, can't make it, can't afford it (can you afford not too)? Start with your free offerings -- 6 teleclasses recorded and ready for you to listen to any time it suits you. One live teleclass coming up tomorrow and a 15 day series of valuable Conference Tips. Or reply to this email, asking to be kept informed of the next conference.

In these times of rapid change, never has it been more important to commune and learn from like-minded people so we can thrive and 'learn to dance on a shifting carpet'.

Your time for thriving as a coach is NOW!
Act now, whilst there are still places!

I'm looking forward to seeing you become inspired, energised and thriving at coaching, and build life-long friendships too!

All the best,

Coen de Groot

P.S. Remember there are only limited spaces left, when they're gone they're gone! £155 for the one-and-a-half-day conference, immersive learning, refreshments and lunch on Saturday -- what more could you ask for! And then there's the Public Speaking workshop and the Saturday evening meal, all at very reasonable prices.
Register for the conference now before it is too late!


P.P.S. Whilst writing these words to you I received an email from Marion Ryan on the New Coach Business Network (NCBN), which I'm reproducing here with her kind permission. "Sadly, I won't be able to get over but I completely agree, this is a fantastic opportunity for members of NCBN to go to a great networking and educational event.

Meeting one such person at one such an event about five years ago changed my entire business and my life. Not only has she sent me many referrals over the years, I have also partnered with her on several successful coaching programmes and today she is one of my very closest friends.

I love the power of the internet but nothing beats meeting people in the flesh!"

I couldn't have said it better myself
