Mon, 20 May 2013 15:24:00 -0600

When Tom Bliss came across ActionCOACH while looking for an opportunity to improve his career, his family’s life and his community, he knew he had found the place for him and once he connected with the world’s largest business coaching company, he knew he had found the opportunity of a lifetime.

“When I learned all about ActionCOACH I was impressed,” Bliss said. “Brad and the team at ActionCOACH have put together an amazing program that really helps business owners who are ready to be helped through coaching. “

ActionCOACH is the world’s leader in business and executive coaching. Brad Sugars; Chairman and Founder, started the company in 1993 when the concept of business coaching was still in its infancy. By franchising the company in 1997, Sugars helped business coaching become more mainstream; turning it into the second fastest growing category behind Information Technology. ActionCOACH specializes in coaching small to medium sized businesses as well as executive, teams, and group coaching.

“We know creating change in Washington to help the economy is almost impossible, but as an ActionCOACH Business Coach, we� have the chance to make a real impact on the local economy and community and that is really important to us because we live here and our kids will be going to school here.”

When he’s not coaching businesses, Bliss and his wife raise a two year old daughter and one year old son. Bliss is also a Deacon in his church and works with the local Hearing and Speech Center for therapy for needy children. He is also a member of BNI Pinecrest and the Greater Kendall Business Association.

Bliss is a firm owner based out of Miami, Florida with 25 years of experience helping business owners and executives. He began his journey to become an ActionCOACH Business Coach in Las Vegas, Nevada where the ActionCOACH Global Office is located. Here he spent 10 days training with other new firm owners and business coaches from around the world. They learned the ins and outs of the ActionCOACH system, how to run a business the ActionCOACH way, branding, systems and techniques, as well as how to apply their knowledge to any business and much more.

VAINCRE L�AUTISME Acts on ActionCOACH Advice To Boost Growth

Sun, 07 Apr 2013 23:40:00 -0600

French autism charity VAINCRE L’AUTISME (Win Against Autism) has been able to tap into a wealth of business experience thanks to the ActionCOACH Coaching for a Cause campaign, which has enabled the organisation to receive free business coaching from Ile-de-France-based ActionCOACH Xavier Ferrand.

Established by founder and President M'Hammed Sajidi in 2001, after he was left frustrated by the inability of health professionals to help his autistic son Samy, VAINCRE L’AUTISME has since grown to become one of the leading autism charities in France.

The organisation operates on several levels, including working with the French government and health authorities to protect the rights of autistic people, helping those affected by autism, and raising public awareness and funding research into the condition.

Although autism affects more than 650,000 people in France, understanding of the condition and support for autistic people is still sadly lacking, which makes VAINCRE L’AUTISME a vital resource for autistic people and their families.

ActionCOACH Xavier Ferrand is now conducting regular coaching sessions with M'Hammed Sajidi to help the charity as it enters a period of expansion across multiple areas. Specific aims over the next few years include increasing the number of Futuroschool educational units for autistic children from two to sixty, as well as developing INTED (National Institute for Pervasive Development Disorders) - an institute of excellence for international research into autism. VAINCRE L’AUTISME is also looking to expand the number of staff working out of its head office from ten to sixty, including three senior managers.

Xavier’s help is proving to be vital during this time, as M’Hammed explains:

“Having Xavier on board has come at just the right time, as we are in the middle of a process of development that requires restructuring and reorganisation of our whole operating model,” he says.
�
“Working with Xavier has helped me to take a step back from things and organise my management team better, as well as improving my time management in regards to the number of projects I personally undertake. This process has already improved working practices for me and my team and led to greater efficiencies. It is an ongoing process and I am looking forward to continuing to work with Xavier.

“I believe that the whole Coaching for a Cause campaign has a lot to offer to organisations like ours - introducing business operation techniques to charities enables them to be more efficient in their working methods and of greater benefit society as a whole.”

ActionCOACH Franchisees Rank Company as a �Top 50� Franchise

Wed, 06 Mar 2013 17:59:00 -0700

LAS VEGAS -- The Franchise Business Review once again named ActionCOACH one of the “Top 50” franchises in the world, ranking the company number 39 in its Franchisee Satisfaction Awards.

The list is compiled through a survey of franchisees and is a strong indicator of the comfort franchisees feel being part of a franchise system.

ActionCOACH has consistently been one of the top ranked franchisors on the list over the better part of the last decade, which is a clear indication their franchisees are happy with the system. Only the top 50 franchises on this list gain this recognition.

"We are extremely pleased to be recognized again by Franchise Business Review for the high level of satisfaction among our franchise owners and the value we bring to the marketplace," ActionCOACH USA & Canada CEO Jodie Shaw said.

"This award is very special for us as it is a testimony to our ongoing commitment to provide our more than 1,000 franchisees around the world with unparalleled support and training and help ensure their success. This also means businesses worldwide have access to top notch coaching that delivers results. We love driving world economies by empowering small business owners around the world.”

For an international franchisor like ActionCOACH, there are a number of challenges to ensure franchisee satisfaction.

"In a large format franchise such as ours, it is not easy to keep franchisees satisfied with the brand just because of the number of franchisees spread across 50 countries," she said. "Being named one of the Top 50 franchises in terms of satisfaction is a real indicator of the superior and ever-improving leadership, the systems and ongoing support we provide our franchisees."

"Our franchisees get the highest level of support with weekly coaching calls and various training opportunities throughout the year," Shaw said. "In fact the quality of our regional and national conferences only gets better each year. Our commitment to constant improvement is reflected by our ranking.”

Over the past year, a number of studies have revealed the positive financial impact the ActionCOACH system can have on a business that invests in coaching.

“We are one of the few professional service companies – and the only business coaching franchise – to guarantee our results. There is no doubt all of those factors played a part in our ranking this year. We are the only franchise in the business coaching category to have made the list."

ActionCOACH was founded by Brad Sugars in 1993. Since its inception, ActionCOACH has been a valuable resource for business owners to build a commercially profitable company. To learn more visit: http://www.actioncoach.com or http://www.actioncoachfranchise.com

“The concept of this company was a good one from the beginning, but there was a serious lack of management under the previous regime,” Wilson said. “We were able to make the necessary changes and get the company moving in the right direction after about five months, making the company more stable, but the real work of the turnaround began in January 2012.”

A big reason for the company’s turnaround is the work they do with ActionCOACH Business Coach Chuck Hunter.

“The entire team at Intelligent Childcare Services has done a remarkable job in changing the company from one that was struggling into one that is thriving,” Hunter said. “I’m very proud of all the hard work they’ve done to get to this point.”
