PUBLISHED EACH MONTH BY SHARON EAKES, HOPE UNLIMITED, LLC. FOCUS: Calling for Action Disciplines: Shared Vision, Mental Models, Personal Mastery, Team Learning, Systems Thinking The Greater Pittsburgh Coaches Association Invites You This month I want to tell you about a rare opportunity. The Greater Pittsburgh Coaches Association is offering a full day of free teleclasses, Calling for Action. This is your chance to get a taste of what coaching is like. This entire day is devoted to helping you solve the issues that are important to you and move toward a more satisfying and fulfilling life. I will be traveling on Nov. 15, so will be unable to lead a class myself, but I am the President of this organization and can vouch for the fact that you will be in for a big treat if you attend even one class. The depth of experience represented by these coaches is remarkable. I urge you to take advantage of this unusual offer! When? Wednesday November 15th, 2006 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. EST How Do Teleclasses Work? Teleclasses are interactive telephone seminars conducted by conference call. They’re a great way to gain knowledge and new ideas from the comfort of your home or office. Each class is 55-minutes long, and packed with information you can use immediately. Once you register for a Teleclass you will receive a telephone number. Call this number at the beginning of the hour and a Teleclass leader will be there to greet you. Listen, participate, and bring a piece of paper and pen to write down all the great tips, strategies, and tools you will receive. The entire day of teleclasses is being offered at no charge. It’s our gift to you. You are welcome to register for up to three teleclasses. EACH TELECLASS IS LIMITED TO THE FIRST 30 PEOPLE WHO REGISTER. Please note while these teleclasses are free, you will incur a charge for the telephone call in accordance with the terms of your long distance or local carrier. Sorry, no cell phones are allowed for listening to the teleclasses. Here are teleclass titles. Detailed descriptions and registration are at www.greaterpittsburghcoaches.org.

I am a personal and executive coach and would be happy to offer you a complimentary coaching session by phone. Each month FRESH VIEWS focuses on a single topic, relates it to one of the five disciplines of a learning community, and offers a coaching tip and a follow-up telegathering. Please forward it to friends and colleagues. My purpose in writing FRESH VIEWS is to nurture, prod and encourage readers to think and talk about these topics with their families, friends and colleagues. Mine is only one view. Multiple conversations may deliver us to insights only hinted at here. Such a process sustains the vitality of learning relationships, learning families, learning organizations and learning communities. Sharon Eakes | 720 Maple Lane | Sewickley, PA 15143
