COACH ACADEMY TEXAS LAUNCHED TO PROVIDE
THE “GOLD STANDARD” IN COACH TRAINING
Brings Leading-Edge Coach Training for Experienced Professionals to Dallas

Dallas, TX November 1, 2006.  Coach Academy Texas has opened it doors to fill a growing void in the coach training market.  Reaching out to individuals with coaching or coaching-related experience and other qualified professions, its programs will provide sophisticated learning experiences, 100% in-person training, and mentor coaching.  The programs are unique in that they incorporate the NLP model throughout – the cutting edge capability for coaches today.  They will also provide “hassle-free” preparation for the ICF certifications, systematically guiding the participants through the application process and exam preparation.  Coach Academy Texas prides itself on a practical rather an academic orientation, emphasizing learning to coach through extensive practice, not learning about how to coach.

Coach Academy Texas’s co-founders, Mina Brown and Paula Asinof, are committed to producing exceptional graduate coaches who are sought after by both individual clients and large organizations.  According to Brown who has been coaching senior business executives for over ten years, she has seen the exponential growth and success of clients who work with top coaches.  She says, “We need more coaches who perform at that level, and Coach Academy Texas will be the incubator for many of them.”

During the past decade, coaching has become one of the fastest growing industries in the world, and certification by ICF is becoming a key credential for coaches.  Asinof points out that ICF certification has become more important than ever as the number of coaches has grown exponentially.  Current estimates suggest that there are as many as 40,000-60,000 practicing coaches in the world.  Coach Academy Texas’ programs are designed to support qualified professional coaches in moving through the certification process efficiently and successfully.

Registration is now open for Coach Academy Texas’ first program, which launches in Dallas on April 27, 2007.  The program meets one weekend per month for ten months. To register, visit www.coachacademytexas.com or call 972-733-9963.
