Announcing the merger of web companies Big Life and Business for Coaches

Self development and coaching web based companies www.biglife.ws and www.businessforcoaches.com merge creating the largest international community dedicated to supporting coaches and clients alike.

One of the many initiatives aimed at encouraging and developing coaches to come from entrepreneur Gerard O’Donovan, CEO of Noble Manhattan, Europe’s leading coach training provider, is Business for Coaches.

The Noble Manhattan group of companies and Big Life share a philosophy of life time care for their members. It was this philosophy that was the catalyst for establishing Business for Coaches as a medium for supplying the ongoing support, education and training of coaches globally.

Business for Coaches is the most comprehensive global one-stop-shop resource centre. Therefore, when the self development web based company Big Life in the US came on the market, Gerard knew this was a perfect match.

‘Big Life offers Business for Coaches members the social platform and the ‘find a coach’ service we’ve been looking for.  Conversely, Business for Coaches offers Big Life members a greatly improved range of back office support functionality. This merger strengthens the aims and objectives in supporting coaches in achieving their aspirations’.
More specific information will follow via a series of weekly e-mails and a conference call Thursday 24/9/2009 @ 8.30pm BST (check out www.worldtimeserver.com to convert time to your area) on Tel +441305 769 411 for international callers and T: 0800 191 011 for UK callers.

Everyone is warmly invited to join Gerard and Dawn Campbell (who will be managing both sites) in the conference call to hear their plans to ensure the continued success of both these communities.

In the meantime, I would like to share with you some key contacts and points of reference in the event anyone has an immediate query.

Noble Manhattan, Europe’s leading life coaching company has announced its takeover of Big Life a world leading organization for coaching support.  Under this new agreement, Noble Manhattan will take over the operations of Big life  and have a revenue sharing agreement with Big Life promoters for all business generated through the Big life brand. With this coming together of two of the biggest life coaching organizations better life coaching programmes will be offered to clients.   Gerard O’Donovan the C.E.O. of Noble Manhattan said that this is a unique event in the life coaching industry. This collaboration will create the world’s largest online community of coaching support completely devoted helping students and life coaches to build a thriving profitable coaching practice.  This strategic decision was taken by the management of both Noble Manhattan and Big Life to leverage on each others strengths and deliver the best coaching support services to professional coaches. The coming together of Big life and Noble Manhattan’s very own support services “Business for Coaches”  will benefit members of both these organizations. Coaches registered with Big life are automatically entitled to full membership benefits of “Business for Coaches” and vice-versa at no extra cost.

The decision has been widely appreciated by coaches, students and the overall coaching community who have termed this deal as the merger of equals. While announcing the partnership Mr. O’Donovan said that the circumstances leading to this deal were not very happy. After the untimely demise of Victory Darwin who was the founder of Big life and one of the most influential life coaches in America, the management of Big life and Noble Manhattan decided to merge the two businesses. Paying his tributes to Victory Darwin, Mr. O’Donovan said that he was one of the most respected life coaches who had created a niche for Big life. His untimely death would not leave his dreams of building a great coaching support system unfulfilled. A detailed plan would be chalked out on how to integrate the operations of the two organizations. At present ‘business as usual’ status would be maintained and both the organizations would function as separate entities.  The integration of the different functions of Big life and “Business for coaches” would happen within the next 2 quarters.

Mr. O’Donovan said that the merger of two powerful brands in the same business is a challenge. In this case, both the companies have lot of synergies which will make the deal much simpler. Big life will be able to make its programmes more popular in Europe and Noble Manhattan will get a better foothold in the Americas where Big life is a leading coaching support organization. The integration process has already been set in motion with Big life coaches getting successful coaching leads from Noble Manhattan and vice versa. A dedicated team comprising of senior associates from both the organizations have been set-up to smoothly integrate the functions of the two organizations.

Noble Manhattan can now offer a broader array of coaching programmes for clients. Clients can also choose from more life coaches and students for their personal coaching programmes. Coaching requirements of individuals are very specific and with this merger Noble Manhattan and Big life will be able to do much more justice to their clients. Mr. O’Donovan said that life coaches, students, clients and the entire life coaching community would see many more specialized offerings from the merged entities. He made a special note to the members of both the organizations in making this deal a successful one.

Noble Manhattan, the leading life coaching institute in Europe offers the unique weight loss programme which promises a permanent solution to weight problems. Announcing this to the press, Mr. Gerard O’ Donovan the CEO of Noble Manhattan said that weight gain is a major problem for people Worldwide and Noble Manhattan has launched this unique programme developed by two of the renowned personalities in the sphere of life coaching. Mr. O’Donovan, together with Di McLanachan, a Master Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) practitioner have designed this unique programme. It is a 12 step programme which will be administered by qualified coaches which helps people to get over excessive eating habits.

The weight loss programme of Noble Manhattan is a holistic, cost effective method of achieving weight loss goals. It is noticeable nowadays that people check out the calories present in food items before buying them from the supermarket shelves. While there is nothing wrong with the practice it becomes an impediment to the normal eating habits of many people. It also puts an increased cost on the shopping bill because low calorie diets have a higher price tag. Weight gain can be controlled even without putting a plug on food habits. This is precisely how Noble Manhattan has designed its Weight Loss programme. Coaching allows individuals to choose which healthy eating options suit their lifestyle best or the exercise that they prefer to practice. This is different from other programmes which involve rigorous exercises or excessive diet controls. The Weight Loss Programme of Noble Manhattan will address the psychological factor of weight gain. The weight loss happens in stages and does not involve any risks.

The programme focuses on mind shift therapy. People who undergo this programme will find a definite change in their psychology towards food intake and the way they lead their lives. At the end of the 12 step programme, people will see tangible results in terms of weight reduction and the intangible factor of shift in their mindset toward food habits. Mind shift therapy works around the food habits of a person rather than the symptoms ensuring permanent solution to weight problems. This programme helps people to relive their lives without spending boatloads of money on low calorie diet foods and expensive gym memberships. After all, very few people would be truly interested in going through a rigorous exercise regime and eating few selective low calorie diets.

Noble Manhattan’s experienced coaches deliver the Weight Loss coaching programme with great dedication. The coaches of Noble Manhattan are well trained in the Weight Loss programme. They help individuals towards a creating positive mind shift regarding their  eating habits which last a lifetime. The programme ensures that no money is wasted on faddy diets or activities chosen on a whim. People who have undergone this programme have spoken about the change in their lives. Noble Manhattan as one of the leading life coaching institutes in Europe and many other parts of the world attaches a great deal of importance to the feedback provided by people who have completed the training programme. Mr. O’Donovan said that more research is being done to improve the programme with the latest mind shift therapy techniques. He expressed hope that people across the United Kingdom and other parts of Europe will benefit tremendously from the Weight Loss coaching programme of Noble Manhattan.

The Meaningful Weight Loss Programme of Noble Manhattan is offering excellent health benefits in Europe.  The programme has already received wide appreciation from all those who have felt the health benefits.  Mr. Gerard O’Donovan, the CEO of Noble Manhattan said that Meaningful Weight Loss is a holistic programme which considers the different ways that a person can become over weight and has developed weight loss methods which are different from the conventional approaches. Weight gain can be caused by a variety of factors such as food relation issues which is more of a mental state towards the problem rather than physical. Noble Manhattan’s Meaningful Weight Loss Programme alleviates a person of all emotional factors that leads to weight gain.

Mr. O’Donovan added that anyone who undergoes this training programme will feel the impact of “Meaningful Change” and the dynamics of their lifestyle will never be the same again. The programme has been designed to instill confidence in people so that they are able to do any activity in a way which they want to. As Oprah Winfrey quoted that glamour, success, fame, attention do not mean anything if one cannot control their own well being.  Noble Manhattan and its coaches have considered Oprah’s comment very seriously while designing the Meaningful Weight Loss Programme.  The programme is not designed as a stop-gap arrangement to get rid of weight quickly. At the end of the programme people will feel the true benefits of losing weight using mind therapy techniques.

If a person feels hungry beyond what is normal for the age, sex and height it is an indication that there is something missing in their life in other areas. The Meaningful Weight Loss Programme finds out the root causes of excess hunger, depression and gives a permanent solution to all these problems. Europe like the rest of the world is passing through a global recession. Job losses and related financial hardships have become the order of the day. During these times many people try to relieve their problems by eating out or consuming alcohol which lead to weight gain.

The Meaningful Weight Loss Programme has been designed in a way which is much different from the conventional weight loss programmes. People who attend the programme do not have to undergo strict rituals of diet and exercise.  The mind therapy techniques of Noble Manhattan’s Meaningful Weight Loss programme will enable a person to get the best out of themselves in every area. They will develop conviction that “enough is enough” and things need to change.

The new Meaningful Change weight loss programme launched by Noble Manhattan coaching is yielding results for many people who have joined this new programme. Announcing this to the press, Mr. Gerard O’Donovan the CEO of Noble Manhattan said that data collected so far from participants of the programme has shown encouraging results.  Within a short period of time, members of the programme who were fighting the problem with weight have found a better way to a healthier life. Participants have revealed that they have enjoyed their summers by indulging in ice-creams and soaking up the good weather on the beaching on the beach.  The weight loss programme enables people to understand and resolve complex beliefs and attitudes in a way that will create a meaningful change. It is very different from other weight loss techniques which focus on eating less or physical activity.  Mr. O’Donovan said that it is a unique programme specifically focusing on mind shift therapy.

The barbeque parties which many of the participants had to skip earlier as part of their rigorous weight loss regime have become regular again. Many male participants have said that their earlier weight loss programmes with a strict diet regime prevented them from enjoying the warm summer evenings and sizzling food. However, after joining the Meaningful Change programme they have started enjoying their summer evenings with marinated barbeque, wine and dance. All these factors have made the participants convinced that the programme is revolutionary different from other conventional weight loss programmes. The Meaningful Change weightloss programme offers a permanent solution to the problem of bring over-weight. It helps to alter a person’s behavior and pattern towards their lifestyle and food. However, this is not a short-cut programme of weight loss. The weight loss will happen over a period of time as it focuses on a mind shift rather than forcibly cutting down on food and indulging in heavy physical activity.

As part of the data collection exercise and interviewing members who have joined the programme, it was found that members have started going out for picnics, family occasions, and even started playing cricket. They have begun to enjoy the sumptuous array of picnic treats without guilt and have enough energy to play with the children. They have new found energy to join in all sorts of games and outdoor activities with their families and friends. This they attribute totally to the effective results of the Meaningful Weight Loss Programme. Mr. O’Donovan said that the programme agenda is monitored closely by a team of experts from Noble Manhattan. New approaches are considered which are implemented as a part of the programme after rigorous testing.

Many of the participants have spoken with excitement about attending summer weddings comfortably fitting into floaty dresses and smart suits. They have started enjoying toasting with champagne and variety of steps laid out like canapés on silver platter. The problem of being over weight prevented them from enjoying summer weddings in a way they wanted. The programme trainers have got great encouragement from the positive feedbacks received from the participants.  Mr. O’Donovan said that Noble Manhattan has plans to roll out this programme across the globe. He expressed satisfaction that the first feedback and data collection exercise from participants have yielded great results. In a closing note he said that Noble Manhattan and its weight loss coaches would make all endeavors to see many more happy faces who have come out of their obesity related problems.

Pioneer Expeditions, a leader in expedition travel to remote and extraordinary places across the globe has been selected by Noble Manhattan to run a spiritual adventure program for the company.  Announcing this to the press, Mr. Gerard O’Donovan the CEO of Noble Manhattan said that as a leader in expedition travel, Pioneer Expeditions would be able to bring the best value to the Spiritual Adventure Program of Noble Manhattan. The expedition will be a life transforming adventure trip to an exotic part of the world with a little bit of physicality thrown in and a lot of adventure. The highlight of the trip would be the opportunity to interact and spend time with Mr. Gerard O’Donovan who is the founder of Noble Manhattan Coaching, one of the leading life coaching Institutes in Europe. The spiritual adventure trip would also give members of the group an opportunity to interact with Scott Milway, another luminaire in the life coaching arena and also learn the “Full Primordial Sound Technique” as taught by another great life coach Deepak Chopra. The entire cost of the adventure trip is £1600. Many of us would not be aware that the course fee for only the “Full Primordial Sound Technique” is £600.

Mr. O’Donovan said that the concept of spiritual travel existed in an informal way for decades. Even the Beatles visited India to seek solace in the Eastern system of meditation under the guidance of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in the late 60’s. The spiritual trip conducted by Noble Manhattan would not only be a spiritual trip, helping every member of the group to re-discover themselves but would also enable members to enjoy the beauty of an exotic location in another part of the world.  Pioneer Expeditions is one of the leading expedition companies which has worked with other leading organizations for conducting exotic travel trips in different parts of the world. Since this is an unique trip, the objective of this trip will be different from other tours conducted by Pioneer Expeditions. Therefore a team from Noble Manhattan has worked very closely with Pioneer Expeditions to chalk out every details of the trip.  Pioneer Expeditions on its part has expressed great satisfaction on being chosen as the travel partner by Noble Manhattan.  A senior executive of the company said that it is a privilege for Pioneer Expedition to be a part of this unique trip. The company has conducted exotic and adventure trips in different parts of the world for many leading organizations. However, being chosen by Noble Manhattan for this unique trip gives a sense of pride.

The journey will also be a gateway for charity as members have the option of donating to the Noble Foundation. At the end of the trip, members can feel the true change that a spiritual travel can bring to their lives. The quest for knowledge, truth and understanding can be fulfilled by being a part of this unique journey being conducted by Noble Manhattan Coaching. Mr. O’Donovan expressed hope that the experience of Pioneer Expeditions in conducting exotic tours and Noble Manhattan’s experience in life coaching would make the trip a truly unique experience for members in terms of spirituality, self realization and excitement.  The trip has already drawn wide attention and bookings have already started. Mr. O’Donovan said that the team at Noble Manhattan is working all-out with Pioneer Expeditions to close out any final loops in terms of logistics. He mentioned that this unique trip will be the first of many trips that will be conducted by Noble Manhattan.  In the final note, he thanked the Pioneer Team for all the support and expressed hope that this new travel partnership will yield great results.

The efforts of the company in establishing the Polish operations have already met with a fair amount of success. People and organizations in the country have started taking interest in the concept of life coaching. Mr. O’Donovan said that experienced coaches from the company’s main office in United Kingdom will be taking the lead in coaching activities. This will be till the time that the local staff is well equipped to handle sessions independently. However, coaches from the company’s head office will frequent different locations in Europe just like any other country. The courses will be delivered in English as well as Polish. This will help organizations and people to quickly adopt the fundamentals of life coaching. Mr. O’Donovan said that life coaching is a concept which has great power to impact the life of people and give competitive advantages to organizations.  ZB Executive Consulting will handle business development activities taking Noble Manhattan’s services closer to the Polish people. Mr. O’Donovan said that the relationship will create a name which will become synonymous with life coaching in Poland.

As recognition of his experience and expertise as a seasoned life coach professional Mr. Gerard O’Donovan has been invited to speak at the large H R Congress conference taking place in Warsaw on 27th and 28th of April as the main international keynote speaker.  During his address Mr. O’Donovan is expected to speak on various areas of life coaching and how it benefits organizations and individuals to achieve more in their lives.  On March 18, 2009 Noble Manhattan organized their first “Introduction to Coaching” event in the beautiful southern Polish city of Krakow. This was a landmark event which signaled the beginning of Noble Manhattan’s journey in Poland. The enthusiasm of the people who attended the program cemented Noble Manhattan’s belief that coaching is a philosophy that the Polish organisations and people are taking to their heart.  Following this first event there will be a series of similar events across the country, the dates for which will be announced well in advance.

Mr. O’Donovan said that Polish people and organizations are becoming aware of the benefits of life coaching. Noble Manhattan will foster the growth of life coaching in Poland just as it as done in the United Kingdom and other countries.  ZB Executive Consulting as the sole licensee of Noble Manhattan in Poland will ensure that life coaching and the Noble Manhattan brand becomes a part of Polish culture in a few years time. Mr. Zbigniew Brzezinski expressed hope that with Noble Manhattan’s expertise in life coaching and ZB Executive Consulting’s extensive knowledge of the Polish market, a formidable partnership has been created.

They said that Poland can expect the very best in life coaching from the partnership of Noble Manhattan and ZB Executive Consulting.

Noble Quest, a unique life transforming two-week expedition to an exotic part of the world has been scheduled between 16th and 31st October 2009. Announcing this in a company press release, Mr. Gerard O’Donovan the CEO of Noble Manhattan and the man behind the Noble Quest initiative said that the expedition will be a life transforming two-week adventure trip to an exotic part of the world with a little bit of physicality thrown in and a lot of adventure.  The first trip of the Noble Quest will be to the Far East countries of Vietnam and Cambodia. This will be a one of a kind journey which will include a visit to the religious places of Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom, spending time getting to know the peoples and culture of Vietnam and Cambodia and also an adventurous mountaineering session. The trip will also include a visit to Preah Khan, a huge and interesting monastic complex, Neak Pean, a Himalayan-style lake and sanctuary and East Mebon, a temple-mountain.

Mr. O’Donovan said that the idea of Noble Quest is to transform people’s lives by spirituality, adventure and understanding the social fabric of an unknown land. It will help people to re-discover themselves with the help of a spiritual guru who will be accompanying the team members on the trip. Mr. Scott Milway, one of a small number of trainers from the Deepak Chopra organisation will be teaching all members the full Primordial Sound Medication Course and leading a daily meditation session. The unique 14 day expedition will start from Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam and team members leave Vietnam for the United Kingdom at the end of day 13.

Mr. O’Donovan said that the uniqueness of the Noble Quest programme is also about charity as much as it about spirituality. Members of the expedition have the option of donating to the charity run by the Noble Foundation. The cost of the expedition excluding flight charges are £1600. However, members are encouraged to raise a figure of £3500. The additional sum will be donated to charitable causes through the Noble Foundation. Mr. O’Donovan in his release said that members have the chance to book their place in this expedition for a sum of £320. Since the number of members for the expedition will be limited to 25, booking in advance will help to confirm the slots. Mr. O’Donovan said that he expects the booking for this expedition to be completed within the next couple of months.

The itinerary will include a climb of the highest mountain in Vietnam, Mount Fan Si Pan. This extraordinary event by a large group will be adequately highlighted.  Members can ask for donations from local businesses and organizations who may be interested to highlight their business or organization atop Mount Fan Si Pan and associate themselves with Noble Quest.   The arduous climb of the mountain and visit to different temples in Angkor in Cambodia, makes this expedition a true combination of spirituality combined with physical challenges.  The sessions by  Scott Milway, visits to the villages of Vietnam and interacting with the local people puts this expedition in a totally different niche. Mr. O’Donovan said that this trip is not complete without its share of celebratory dinner and visiting the ethnic markets in Cambodia and Vietnam.  People who are interested in being a part of this unique expedition can visit the Noble quest website and get all information about the trip. Noble Quest will follow up with many more such expeditions each year. As a leader in life coaching, Noble Manhattan will bring all their experience to make this quest the most memorable journey of a lifetime for all the members.
