Continuing with a tradition of mine, I’m celebrating my birthday by giving gifts to my friends – and that includes you!  This year has been phenomenal for me, so here’s what I’m offering to you in celebration:

FIRST GIFT:  Four (4!) FREE SEATS in the Coaching for Great Work day-long session in Washington, D.C. on October 7.  Yes, FREE (a $399 value) to the first four readers who email their interest to me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .  It’s your chance to experience the program that’s reinventing how coaching can be successfully embedded in organizations.  I want YOU to see how this approach will change how you coach your employees forever.  You’ll get the full one-day program delivered by the incomparable Michael Bungay Stanier, lots of practice on how to coach in 10 minutes or less, the coaching materials and a signed copy of Michael’s book Do More Great Work.  Plus plenty of interaction with peers from other companies and a great lunch – all in the heart of Washington, D.C. at the beautiful American Institute of Architects!  I’ve added extra seats to the workshop just for this special offer, but they will go fast, so email me NOW!  If you need more info, hit the button on my web site or visit http://CoachingforGreatWork.com .  If you haven’t already registered, then make a grab for a free seat!

SECOND GIFT:  Nine FREE COACHING SESSIONS with me. Be one of the first readers to email me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and receive a complimentary 45-minute session via the phone.  If you’ve always wondered what a coach could do for you, or if you have a pressing issue to discuss, let’s talk!  To find out more about my approach to coaching, read “An Interview with Rita” under the About Us tab on our web site.  Money Magazine recently said, "A coach may be the guardian angel you need to rev up your career," so let’s get started!
