The Chronicle of Coaching provides a snapshot of what’s happening in the coaching profession, designed to show where and how coaching appears in the popular culture worldwide. It is not intended to be a summary service nor a news roundup, although it may serve that purpose for some readers. The Chronicle is new each Thursday morning. Compiled and edited by Alex Goldsmith, Linda Ballew, and Ruth Ann Harnisch.

The Chronicle of Coaching strives for 100% accuracy and regrets any deviation from that standard. Our policy is to correct errors promptly and prominently, in the next edition and in the online archive. Please tell us immediately if you see something wrong.

Special Notice: The Chronicle of Coaching will be celebrating the holidays next week. There will be no Chronicle of Coaching next Thursday, but the Chronicle will return on January 3, 2008. Seasons Greetings from all of us at The Foundation of Coaching!
