Kind words 
...about our recent Conference in Las Vegas (March 2002)

All I can say is WOW!!! The conference content was practical, relevant and motivational. 

Thank you for the opportunity to meet with so many incredible people at the 2002 Coachville Conference in Las Vegas. I am a new coach in private practice, and I learned a lot, met a lot of exceptional people, and came home with a lot of valuable ideas to attract clients, add value, and market my coaching skills more effectively. I was gratified to be able to add value to some of the discussions and coaching exercises, and have found new motivation to make my coaching skills better, and my coaching practice more professional and focused. I look forward to taking better advantage of all the content available on the Coachville website, and to developing long-term relationships with many of the coaches I met.


dear thomas,
you are wonderful -- a great formulator, communicator and teacher. as someone
who has been in the academic field (and has thus attended many conf and
seminars over these years) you are certainly in the top ten. more later.


Hi Thomas: Thanks for a very motivating conference. You went all out. 

I am looking forward to the next conference. I got a 
lot of value out of this conference.


Thank you for a very powerful - business shifting conference - I've already implemented 12 of about 100 actions I committed to there... 


Dear Thomas,
Thank you so much for the conference. It exceeded my expectations for content and inspiration. I also met some really nice people! As a result of  the conference I've signed up for the graduate school. Thanks again.

Who is the Intensive primarily designed for? 
While everyone is most welcome, the conference content has been designed for:
1. Coaches who are intrigued by the 15 Coaching Proficiencies, StylePoints and Frameworks.
2. Coaches who would enjoy hands on training to tweaking their coaching style, strategies and approach.
3. Coaches who have some interest in the Certified Coach designation.
The training is fitting for both newer coaches and experienced coaches. (Given the structure of the proficiencies,  experienced coaches will learn them on an even higher level).


What will I learn at the Certified Coach intensive?
1.  The 15 Coaching Proficiencies (competencies)
2.  The 15 Coaching StylePoints (communication style)
3.  The 15 Coaching Frameworks (the place from which you look at life) 
Please note:  You will not be certified at the end of the training.  That is a separate step, but the training is 100% focused on 15 Proficiencies, StylePoints and Frameworks which are the basis of the Certified Coach designation/testing.



How is the Intensive organized?
We are keeping the training as interactive, effective, and simple as possible.  You'll have plenty of free time for networking.
1. Everyone is in the same event room during the training.  
2. Dave Buck and Thomas Leonard are co-leading the segments.  
3. All sessions are interactive (and include step-by-step handouts).
4. You are on your own for meals. Beverages are served both days during the breaks.


 Guarantee of Satisfaction
If, at the end of the Intensive, you feel that the conference was not worth the fee you paid, you will be refunded your Intensive fee in its entirety, no questions asked.  (We're quite serious about this.)

Hotel/Flights
 The conference is being held at the resort-like Embassy Suites/Biltmore on 2630 E. Camelback Road in central Phoenix, literally steps away from 13 restaurants, movie theatres and the Biltmore Fashion Park (Saks, Borders, Ralph Lauren). 

We have arranged for a discounted room rate of $129 per night double occupancy (vs the rack rate of $159). Call the hotel at +1.800.362.2779 and say you are with the CoachVille group and ask for the "CoachVille Convention rate.". The hotel rate does include breakfast and a free cocktail hour reception if you are staying at the hotel (which is something that the Embassy Suites does for all hotel guests). 

We suggest you fly in on Thursday afternoon and depart on Sunday afternoon.  We are having an informal but intriguing "future of coaching" discussion over brunch on Sunday ($33 upgrade) from 9am to 12noon..  The only major airport serving Phoenix is Sky Harbor airport, and it is less than 10 miles from the hotel.  We've had good luck with Orbitz.com if you're looking to book your flight online. The airport code for Phoenix is PHX.

A casual get together in the hotel atrium from 5 to 7pm on Thursday evening (optional) welcomes those arriving that afternoon.  And event registration runs from 7am to 9am on Friday morning, May 31, 2002.  The event ends at 5pm on Saturday, June 1, 2002.  


The Future of Coaching Discussion/Brunch on Sunday
Thomas is hosting a engaging brunch/discussion on the "Future of Coaching" on Sunday morning from 9am to 12noon ($33 upgrade fee to cover cost).  If at all possible for you to attend this on Sunday morning, we urge you to.  The discussion will cover everything from the exponential growth of e-coaching formats, coach certification, new ways to learn how to coach, systems to establish coaching communities, and more!
