Although we are now only at the beginning of February it actually seems as if Christmas was many months ago.

Our International Distributors strategy is going very well.As many of you know we have opened offices in Romania within the last couple of years and also with our partners in Poland, Turkey and Canada and we now have the opportunity to partner with two more companies Internationally this year.

So if you know of any organizations or well-placed individuals that would be interested in talking to Noble Manhattan Coaching about partnering in their country, please let us know.

 Our support group division is growing extremely well with five new support groups starting in Romania and five new in Poland within the next two months as well as that we are on target to launch at least 10 to 12 more in the UK by late summer.

Allan in Canada is doing extremely well and has got 3 regular meet up groups getting together every month in different areas south of Toronto with a total of over 60 people committed to coming each month.

 The biggest stage of my recent book ” A Coach’s Story” is now complete. I am so glad that all of the writing has now been done.:-) Now we have to get it proof read, edited and then of course published. All being well it should be done and dusted and on the bookshelves by Easter.

 We are also delighted to be able to announce that we have partnered with ” Catalyst Coaching” in the London area. It has been a real joy working with Catalyst, and over the last few months I have got to know their owner Nick Horan very well, in fact we have become good friends.

So from this month onwards we are delighted to be able to shoulder the burden of taking on all of the delivery of coach training for Catalyst allowing them to develop even stronger in their learning and development arenas. A partnership made in heaven

 And as if all of that wasn’t enough we are just about to launch a most incredible face-to-face coaching course in London.

It will be 10 days face-to-face over a one-year period and we are calling it “A Coaching MasterClass with Supervision”

It will be suitable for All Coaches, All managers from organisations and even student coaches.

To find out more about this incredible course contact the office. ( very very special deals just for the first few!!)

 We are also delighted to be able to announce that we are taking on a new general manager for our Noble Quest.

 Our Coach Radio Division is building furiously right now under the leadership of Greg Evaristo. www.coachradiointernational.com

 Greg is fast putting together an international team of business development associates,programmers, designers and professional broadcast trainers. It looks as if we will be able to launch properly at the end of this month.

 I have also decided to take on some new Personal Coaching clients over the next few months. I will be doing this in a highly dynamic interactive online group environment.( it really won’t be for the fainthearted ) This will be for people who really want to move forward and make 2010 the year when their life really starts to take shape and they achieve the success they wish to.

If you would like to find out about being coached by me for one hour once a month then please get in touch with Stacey Melvin at staceymelvin@noble-manhattan.com

 Lots of love

Yesterday, I took two motorbikes out for a test ride. The BMW 1200 GS and the BMW 1200 GS adventure.

Both from CW’s. ( who have won the Best dealership prize for the last five years in the UK)

I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed both bikes and I’m very tempted to get one.

The dealership couldn’t have been more helpful, and not in anyway pushy or salesey.

 I suppose the question I really have to ask myself is ,bearing in mind the fact that I live in Weymouth in sunny Dorset, do I need an all-purpose world beating adventure motorbike,

That will go down jungle tracks, cross deserts, climb snow-covered mountain wilderness and deal with all weather conditions.

And, I guess when I am completely honest with myself the answer has to be

  So, now I have a decision to make !!!!!

The difficult thing is my wife loves the Yamaha and really does not like the look of the BMW. I however love the BMW!

So – Bike or divorce ??

Does anyone fancy coming on a two-week adventure with me and Scott Millay to Vietnam and Cambodia later this year?

It will be the most exciting and life changing two weeks of your life. Full details at www.noble-quest.com

Well, today is turning out to be very interesting, very busy and a little bit hectic.

Have been working with Yasmin, agreeing the content for the latest coaching tools product, which is going to be an A3  card filled with lots of questions for coaches to use in all the wheel of life areas.

Have booked in to speak to Aina later today to discuss the next steps on the Noble-NLP programme that should be launching in about six weeks.www.noble-nlp.com

Also regarding the Noble Quest, I need to put together some e-mails to send out to everyone to let them know that they can now book on.  I shall have to think of who I can ask to help me to spread the word

www.noble-quest.com

And of course have just been told by the financial director we have a VAT bill to pay of tens of thousands!!! As if we don’t pay them enough already.

Had a long meeting today with Leisa and Philip who run Pioneer Expeditions, they are helping to organise The Noble Quest that we will be running in the last two weeks of October later this year.  They really have put together the most incredible and inspiring itinerary, the first week climbing one of the highest mountains in Indochina which happens to be in Vietnam and the second week exploring Angkor Wat in Cambodia.

Full details can be found at www.noble-quest.com the only unfortunate thing is that numbers are going to be limited maximum 20 to 25 people  we will be taking with us Scott Milway who was one of only a small handful of people who have been personally trained by Deepak Chopra to deliver the ” Primordial Sound Meditation” course.   Everyone will get taught this wonderful programme, and then Scott will do a led meditation every day. This is truly going to be a journey of a lifetime
